ministries & education
Purpose: We are a group of people being changed by God into a loving, accepting, and obedient part of His family dedicating ourselves to growing spiritually through worship and study, to serving openly through work and sacrifice, and always striving together to realize God's will for our lives. (Adopted by the Session, March 1979)
Sunday School
​
Christian education is an important component to our continued growth as disciples. One primary way for us to learn is through our Sunday school program.
We have Sunday School classes available for all age groups, including four adult classes. Sunday School begins at 9:45 am each Sunday morning.
Men of the Church
All men of the church are invited to gather on one Saturday of each month at 8:00 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall for Men's Prayer Breakfast. Enjoy a home-cooked breakfast and share a time of fellowship and prayer.
The date is determined each month and are planned around the Pastor's reserve duties.
Weekly Bible Study & Prayer Group
​
The weekly Bible Study and Prayer Group meet on Wednesday at 12:30 pm. Join us as the minister leads a discussion centered on the Scripture reading for the coming Sunday's worship service. And spend time together as we pray for those in needs.
