Educational Ministries

In addition to program opportunities, we have a church library located in our lounge. This growing resource contains many books, videos, and CDs addressing the spiritual, meditative, and educational needs of adults and children. It is continually updated with new materials as they become available.

• Church School  A new curriculum entitled "SEASONS OF THE SPIRIT" has been in use since September 2004.  These young people attend regularly and make a willing and meaningful contribution to the Sunday morning Church Service, the annual Bazaar, Social Events, helping with the Sunday morning coffee hour, and the Christmas Celebration evening.  We are blessed to have these young men and women in our midst.
    
• Morning Bible Study The Bible Study group meets on Thursday mornings at 9:45 am in the Fireside Lounge for a time of study and fellowship through the scripture. Newcomers are always welcome.
    
• ALPHA  Alpha is a ten-week opportunity to explore the validity and relevance of the Christian faith for our lives today. It is a practical introduction to the basics of Christianity with loads of opportunity for debate and discussion. The style of Alpha is informal, friendly and non-pressured.

• Spiritual Reading (Lectio Divina) This is a method of praying the scriptures that has been around for a long time. It aims at giving an awareness of God's presence through a fourfold process, lectio, meditatio, oratio, and contemplatio. Lectio is receiving the word of God, meditatio, allowing the Word to be present in the awareness – giving rise to oratio, prayer, and contemplatio, resting in the presence of God.
