Pastor’s Bible StudyWednesdays6:45 PM - 8:00 PMChapel

Have you ever had a question in the middle of a sermon and wished you could just raise your hand and get an answer? Well, this is the class for you. Each week Pastor Lynn takes a topic or a book of the Bible and breaks it down into bite sized chunks that are easy to understand and apply to your life. And, if it doesn’t make sense to you, just ask a question.

Every Wednesday night our students in 6th - 12th grades meet together for Bible Study and fellowship.

Our students may play games or break into small groups with an adult leader to discuss the topic they are studying that week. Join us and bring your friends.

(K4-Kindergarten)

Word of Life’s Children’s Ministry Program is built on a powerful goal: to lay a solid foundation of biblical principles at a young age in the lives of children. We want to teach them from the very start the important fundamentals of spiritual growth. The Olympian ministry is built on an important theme in Scripture; the Olympic athlete. Paul uses this illustration often saying that he wanted to “finish the race.” Gopher Buddies uses age appropriate materials to teach those principals to early learners ages 4-6.
