What does it mean to be a Christian?
To be a devoted follower of Jesus
Christ, the son of God and Savior to all who put their faith in Him. Christians
believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of God and get their direction
from it.
Do you have weekly Bible studies or small groups?
Yes, see the Discipleship
section of this web site.
Are the people who work with Children screened in any way?
All of our
caregivers have received special training and have been screened and fingerprinted.
What security system do you have in place for young children?
Parents
are required to register their children and are given a pager so they
can be contacted if needed. The pagers are numbered according to the registration
sheet, and children will only be released after the return of the pager
which identifies the parent.
Do you have any young couples groups for newly weds, or for couples with
small children?
Yes, we have several couples groups. To find a group,
contact Doug or Monica
Silkwood.
How do we as a couple (or as a single) get plugged into a small group?
Many small groups for adults are described on the
Discipleship/Adult page, or contact Larry
Burroughs for help finding a group.
Do you have any grief support groups?
Yes, periodically through the year
an 8 week course is offered
to support those who have lost loved ones.
Do you offer any classes that would help our family manage their finances?

is a course that is offered periodically. If you are interested, contact
Larry Burroughs
What is your church's involvement in missions and outreach?
