We view the family as the primary vehicle for ministering to needs of various groups. Therefore we make strengthening the family unit and proclaiming the Word of God our first priorities rather than developing programs for each special group.

Ministries to Adults and Families

• We have Weekly Wednesday evening Bible studies or small groups. They provide the small group in-formality essential to freely discussing questions concerning the Christian life.
