Men’s Ministry
Our men’s ministry focuses on prayer and fellowship. Each Tuesday morning, the men meet in the church office for a time of prayer before heading out to work. On the last Saturday of each month, the men of the church meet for prayer and then enjoy breakfast together. Afterward, the men do the project of the month, such as raking leaves, replacing light bulbs, painting, or cleaning.
Ladies’ Ministry
Our ladies’ ministry focuses on enriching women’s lives through the Word of God and fellowship. The ladies have a secret prayer sister ministry through which the ladies of the church pray for teen girls in the church. The ladies are assigned a secret prayer partner who they commit to pray for and encourage throughout the year with anonymous gifts. After a year’s time, the prayer partners are revealed. Other events throughout the year focus on prayer and fellowship, including Ladies’ Prayer Breakfasts, a Ladies’ Luncheon, and a monthly small group.
Adult Bible Classes (ABC)
We are presently in a new cycle of Adult Bible Classes. Two classes are offered. One class is based on Fee and Stuart’s, How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth. The other class is based on Sire's book The Universe Next Door. The books for these classes are available for purchase in the bookstore.
​
How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth:
Enjoy God’s Word to the fullest! Fee and Stuart’s classic reader-friendly manual, How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth, helps Christians to accurately understand the different parts of the Bible – their meaning for ancient audiences and their implications for us as believers today so we can uncover the inexhaustible wealth of God’s Word. This Bible resource covers everything from how to choose a good translation to how to understand the different genres of biblical literature (e.g. prophecy, Gospels, poetry, and history) so you can get the most from them. In simple, clear language, this book helps Bible readers to grasp the meaning of Scripture and its applications to twenty-first-century believers.
​
The Universe Next Door:
The Universe Next Door is a clear, readable introduction to worldviews. Using his eight basic worldview questions, James Sire examines prominent worldviews that have shaped the Western world: Theism, Deism, Naturalism, Marxism, Nihilism, Existentialism, Eastern Monism, New Age philosophy, Postmodernism, and Islam.
Intertwined with this analysis, Sire presents an overview of intellectual history giving insight into the current state of Western thought and culture. Critiquing each worldview within its own frame of reference and in comparison to others, Sire encourages readers to wrestle with life's biggest questions and examine the core beliefs and commitments on which they are building their lives. The Universe Next Door offers a unique resource for understanding the variety of worldviews that claim the allegiance of mind and heart.

Small Groups
Small Groups Overview
Once a month, on Sunday evening we meet in home small groups in CT and MA for Bible study, prayer, and fellowship. Time is spent reviewing and discussing a recent sermon. As we personalize and apply the sermon together, we not only grow in our walk with the Lord but also in our love for one another.
