MINISTRIES
All Church Dinner & Bible Study
Wednesdays 6-7pm
Our church family and friends are all invited to join us in our fellowship hall (Tecumseh St. side) for dinner & bible study. All food is provided and free. At 6:30pm the children go to a kids lesson and the adults have a brief bible study together. At 7pm we all pitch in and help clean up.
JESUS FOOD PANTRY
Mondays 10am - 11:30am
Jesus Food Pantry is one way in which we show love to our neighbors. Every week, we help provide food to 60+ households. Instead of only handing out food, we offer people the opportunity to participate in a worship service at 9:30am. Attending the service is not a requirement to receive food, but many enjoy receiving spiritual food in addition to physical food. At 10 AM, we begin to distribute food.
DISCIPLESHIP GROUPS
Living UP, IN, OUT
The engine of the church is discipleship. When discipleship happens then mission, worship, and community naturally occur as a result of people devoting themselves to the way of Jesus. We organize our church into groups of 4 to 6 with a "Lead Disciple" guiding the group. Lead Disciples are the ones who are leading the way in following Jesus. They can say to other disciples of Jesus as Paul said, "Imitate me as I imitate Christ" (1 Corinthians 11:1).
The groups gather weekly for eight-week commitment intervals. For one of those meetings, the groups go OUT together and serve. The goal is to grow in all three dimensions: Love God, Love Each Other, Love Neighbor (especially those who are not yet part of the body of Christ). We are called as disciples to obey Jesus and all his commands. This doesn't happen automatically, so we come together in small groups to share, care, study, and serve so that the Holy Spirit will conform us to the likeness of Christ.
