~ Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that
needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (2 Timothy
2:15). It is our goal to provide the resources needed for our church family
to learn the word of God in such a way that it not only becomes knowledge,
but it impacts the way we live our daily lives. We currently use the CLEAR
curriculum which allows our families to study the same topics each week
while presenting the material in an age appropriate manner.
~ Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he
is old, he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6). With so much competing
for the attention of our children today, we feel that it is vitally important
to offer our children a Christ centered alternative. Our teachers are dedicated
to providing an atmosphere in which our children can grow through Bible
based teaching, hands on interaction, and relevant application to the world
in which they live.
~
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing
and making melody in your heart to the Lord; (Ephesians 5:19). Throughout
the Bible, we find that music is a very important part of worshiping God.
Our Choir offers an opportunity to blend these voices together as well as
an opportunity to minister to the congregation in song.
~ For we are labourers together with God: (1 Corinthians
3:9). What a blessing it is to have a group of ladies that love the Lord
and are willing to put that love into action. Our women meet together on
the second Wednesday of each month for a time of prayer, Bible study, and
fellowship. Throughout the year they work hard raising money for missions
and other church projects. Whenever there is a need for the Lord, you can
be sure our ladies will be there to meet it.
~ Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men,
be strong.(1 Corinthians 16:13). What the church needs now more than ever
is Godly men. It is our vision here at Kendale Acres to provide an atmosphere
whereby our men can grow in the faith and knowledge of our Lord and then
take that and put it to work in their daily lives. Our men meet the second
Wednesday night of every month for a time of prayer, Bible Study, and fellowship.
This group of men also plays a vital role in the daily operations and upkeep
of our church facilities.
~ Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them
in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: (Matthew
28:18-19) We believe that the great commission is just as much for today's
church as it was for the early church when it was first spoken. In a world
where so many are being overcome by the evil around us, it is critical that
we go out into the highways and the hedges and compel people to come in.
~ But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them
not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 19:14).
This is one of the newest ministries here at the church, in fact it is in
the very beginning stages. It is our goal to provide a way for children
to come under the teaching of the gospel by providing them with a way to
get to church. Through this ministry in conjunction with our Children's
Church ministry, we are praying to have an impact on the children in our
community
~ O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful
noise to the rock of our salvation. (Psalms 95:1) The Bible leaves no doubt
that God desires to hear our voices lifted up to Him in song. What better
way to let out children participate in this than to allow them to join their
voices in song. Not only does this give our children a chance to develop
the talents God has given them, it is also a wonderful way for them to minister
to the church as they share their special music with us.
