Bible Studies
Winter Bible Study “Book of Acts”. The new Christian church was filled with ups and downs. God worked to bring great numbers into his fold. The world also tried to keep God’s Word from spreading. One thing we do see, God blessed his church tremendously. Join us for a study of the book of Acts to learn about the growth of God’s church after his ascension. To join us for in-person Bible class, join us Mondays at 7:00pm and Wednesdays at 11:00am. Pastors are recording the Monday session and putting it on YouTube, Wednesdays at noon. An archive of classes including all the previous chapters are available on Youtube for those who want to review or who haven’t attended and want to catch up and join the study in person or online.

Children’s Offering Envelopes We give our offerings as part of our worship to God. We generously bring a firstfruit offering as thanks to God for all he has done and given to us. It is important that we pass this down to our children. In order to help parents with this, we have special envelopes for children. They are located in the back of the church by the Sunday School materials. Each box contains an envelope for each Sunday of the month and a place for the child’s name. Feel free to pick up a box, as we train a future generation in their life of stewardship.
