Servedevote ourselves to God through our worship and to each other through our love and service |
| Summary of the main activities and achievements of the charity |
The Main things that we currently do are: • Sunday service – where we worship God and systematically teach through the bible, and have a time of fellowship where we hang out and build friendships, and encourage each other. • Mid-Week bible Study – We begin with a fellowship meal (fancy way of saying we have a meal, which is always a good time for friendships to grow and people to feel |
| welcome). We usually have a time of praise and prayer, then we have an open discussion on what was taught on Sunday, where people can ask questions, give input, and put forward diferent opinions, (this is where the real growth happens). • Biblical Theology – We have a biblical theology discussion every 2ndFriday where we look such topics as ‘The Trinity’, ‘Salvation’, ‘Sin’, ‘Creation’ • Ladies Study – The ladies meet the alternate Friday’s and have a bible study, which they are currently going through the Ladies in the bible. • Men’s Walking group – we have started a men’s walking group on the same Friday as the ladies studies. Each of these activities help people to learn about God and the bible, and we have seen every person attending growing spiritually. We have had several people get saved (repented of their sins, believe in Jesus, and confess Him as Lord) We have had 4 baptisms on easter Sunday We have seen people in the church gather around others in the church and help them through dificult times, where they have given up time and materials to help each other out. which is a direct result of their spiritual growth and the friendships that have been built. |
