Zoom Bible Study
An open Bible study over Zoom on Sunday evenings, for members who have moved away, for anyone who cannot travel, and for friends of the church anywhere. The link goes out with the week's announcements.
Outreach & Missions
Outreach coordinates our work in the barangays around us, from feeding and medical missions to simply visiting people who cannot get to church. Its programmes each run in their own season through the year.
Two things are held together here and neither is allowed to swallow the other. We say plainly who Christ is and what He has done, because that is the best news anybody in Ilagan will hear this year and withholding it would not be kindness. And we feed people, treat them, sit with them and help them, because they are made in God’s image and hungry is hungry — not as a means of getting a hearing.
We also support missionaries working further afield, and pray for them by name in the Lord’s Day service rather than in general.
There is work here for almost anyone: medical and dental skills, cooking, driving, carrying, childcare, translating, and the ordinary willingness to visit somebody nobody else is visiting. Speak to the ministry head, and watch the calendar for the next mission.
What this ministry runs
In-the-Word Seminar
A short, open seminar working through one book or one doctrine, for our own members and for anyone in the community who wants to come and read with us.
Home Bible Studies
Small studies in members' homes, in the barangays around the church. The simplest thing we do, and the one that most often brings somebody through the door on a Sunday.
DVBS
Daily Vacation Bible School: a week of Bible lessons, songs, games and food for the children of the neighbourhood, run by the Children's Ministry teachers and a crowd of volunteers.
YES to Jesus Camp
A camp for young people — ours and their friends — built around teaching, and the friendships that make a teenager willing to keep coming back.
Prison Ministry
Visiting the provincial jail to read the Bible, sing, and sit with men and women the rest of the town has stopped visiting. Dates are set with the wardens, so it runs when it is allowed to run.
