The New Testament, even the Old Testament, were written to and for a group of people, rarely just for individuals. Gathering as a congregation of Christians provides an occasion to remember the Gospel of Grace in a world of un-grace.
No matter how a congregation titles its Bible Study groups, Sunday School, or Small Groups, the occasion to read and study the Bible together provides an opportunity to engage the Story of God. Our Bible Study groups gather on Sunday mornings at 9:00 a.m. We have a place for every age group – Infants to Senior Adults and points in between.
Our Food Pantry and Clothes Closet provide an opportunity to practice serving others in the Name of Jesus. While these are ministries to/in our wider community, involvement in these ministries give an opportunity to learn/practice serving beyond our local context – work, school, local neighborhoods, etc.
