Community Ministries 
  • Food Bank: From New Year’s through Christmas, local benevolence including food bank stocks are collected and distributed among members, neighbors, and those who the Lord sends our way. You are touching lives for God regularly right here in Whatcom County. Thank you members for donating to your food bank.
  • Home-based Evangelism: Every week regular and spontaneous Bible studies are happening in homes of members offering a comforting place for Christ-centered, biblically based conversations, study and prayers for those among us and around us in need of private personal encouragement from God’s Word and family.
  • Building-based Worship, Study, & Evangelism: Every Wednesday evening (7 PM), and Sunday morning (10 AM) the congregation offers Bible classes for all ages led by gifted teachers who foster hopeful conversation on how God’s Word provides practical insights into our Christ-like living with a godly mind-set. Every Sunday morning (11 AM) and evening (6 PM) the Word of God is preached and songs from the heart are sung to God’s glory. God is worshiped with the New Testament’s biblical pattern in Spirit and in truth. Praise God for your faithfulness and commitment to Him who saved us.​​
