Bible Study


Coffee Break, Story Hour, Little Lambs

Thursday mornings 9:30-11:00

Coffee Break is a church-based, community-oriented small group Bible study. Women from the community are invited to participate in a weekly one-hour inductive Bible study along with the women from our church. It is our hope that all participants develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Story Hour introduces the young child to God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit through Bible stories. The Bible truths are reinforced through songs, action rhymes, Bible Words, crafts, and even an appropriate snack!

Little Lambs teaches 2 and 3 year olds about God in the way they learn best--through play. Using all five senses and moving from play center to play center as they choose, these little ones learn who God is.

Youth Programs

Girls Everywere Meeting the Saviour

Thursday Evenings 7:00-8:30

GEMS Girls' Club is a relationship building, club program created especially for girls. Girls eight to twelve years old are eligible for membership in our club. Games, crafts, singing, learning important life skills through badge work, discussing Bible stories and learning how to apply these teachings to life, as well as discovering solutions to many of the challenges that face girls today, are all a part of the club experience.

The purpose of GEMS Girls' Clubs is to bring girls into a living relationship with Jesus Christ. To foster this all-important relationship between each girl and Christ, additional relationships are nurtured as well ­ between the girl and her counselor (leader) and the girl and other club members. All of these relationships are effectively established and strengthened through the use of caring, supportive, and fun small groups.

Cadets

Tuesday Evenings 7:00-8:30

The Calvinist Cadet Corps is an independent (non-denominational) youth ministry organization whose purpose is to provide churches such as ours with a ministry program that enables us to effectively share Christ's love with boys eight to twelve years old from our church and community.

We use the title "Calvinist" to honor the Protestant reformer, John Calvin, who devoted his life to the religious education of God's children.

Boys and their trained and caring counselors work side by side on Bible lessons, Christian service projects, outdoor activities (camping, cycling, hiking, canoeing, and much more), and working on merit badge projects -- selecting from a wide range of interests and skills.

Numerous merit badges are offered in this program. The counselor challenges, guides, encourages, listens, and counsels the boys as an expression of God's love.

Our club is made up of several small groups of about five or six boys called cadres. Each cadre is lead by a counselor.
