Missions Education occurs in a variety of venues. Preschoolers, children, and youth study missions on Wednesday evenings. Occasional Wednesday Adult Seminars are focused on missions education. Our WMU's Women on Mission groups meet monthly and our Brotherhood meets weekly on Thursday mornings for a prayer & Bible study group. Special mission projects and trips are promoted throughout the year.

Bible Study is offered primarily through Sunday School. There is also an adult Bible Study group that meets Thursday mornings. Disciple Bible Study Groups are available throughout the year.

Learning to pray for a Christian is a foundational skill. Throughout the year, prayer groups are available as seminar options, as seasonal prayer groups, as cottage prayer meetings (meeting in homes, Deacon-led) and in other opportunities as prayer vigils.

UPDATE FROM THE FACILITIES PLANNING TASK FORCE  

Late in 2004, the church approved the creation of a Facilities Planning Task Force.

The Task Force, now called "Team" has been meeting monthly since January 2005.  Much has been accomplished within the team and a consensus of opinion is about to emerge.  Priorities have been established and the process of selecting an architect or program manager has begun.  Occasional updates have been presented to the church since that time. 

On April 2, the Task Force gave a update to the church as to the progress it was making.  At that meeting, the report and presentation of the Task Force was announced for April 26 and April 30, with an additional Q & A session scheduled for May 3.  For more information, go to "Facilities Planning Task Force" page in this section of the Web-site.
