MINISTRIES

• EVANGELISM – By serving others in need, we express our love of Christ to others through what we like to call ‘Servant Evangelism’. ‘Lifestyle Evangelism’ is simply letting our actions speak louder than our words, by displaying God’s love & hope through our own lives. Sometimes it is easier in this life to think or say things that are “good”, but it is always better to let your actions speak for themselves! We also value ‘Relational Evangelism’ as a way of sharing Christ with the people that we interact with on a daily basis, by building long-term, personal relationships.

• MISSIONS - we have ministered on short-term mission trips around the world. Teams have ministered in Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Romania, Bulgaria, Liberia, South Africa, Philippines, Canada, Cuba, Jordan, Mongolia, Pakistan, Israel and many other countries as the Lord leads. Teams minister in street evangelism, drama, church services, crusades, medical and dental clinics, emergency relief, construction, music, worship, leadership training and many other ministry areas. Our goal is to reach the lost with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, not only meeting their spiritual needs, but their physical needs as well. Supporting missionaries on the field, as well as training and sending new teams out, is and will be our focus.

• HOSPITAL & NURSING HOME MINISTRY - Personal visits and Bible studies for those in area nursing homes or in the hospital.

• PRISON MINISTRY - Inmates of New Hampshire State Prison in Concord and Laconia, are offered spiritual and practical help.

• YOUTH GROUP – “The Knitted” is an exciting youth group for ages thirteen and up challenging them to a deeper relationship with God. Weekly Tuesday night gatherings include teaching, recreational activities, worship and ministry time. We are actively involved in promoting unity among youth throughout New England. This includes multi-church prayer meetings once a month, youth rallies, ministering in worship for various youth events and participating in retreats. Youth from all backgrounds are welcome!

• COUNSELING – We have Pastoral counselors who are trained in Theophostic Ministry & that facilitate inner healing for a full range of life’s problems.

• HOME MEETINGS - Small gatherings of believers who meet together in homes for a meal, fellowship, worship and prayer, as well as communion and Bible study.

• WORSHIP TEAM – Our worship team consists of singers & musicians from a variety of backgrounds. Team members are chosen not by talent or gifting alone, but by their integrity & faithfulness to the local church ministry, as well as our local community. This ministry exists for the sole purpose of worshipping God for who He is, no matter what the circumstances are in our lives.

Recognizing the importance of the ministry of the Lord’s people to each other, we encourage open expression of affection and caring in the Body.

Members of the Body are also encouraged to pray for one another and to fellowship as families outside the regular meetings. And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, (Acts 2:46) We are seeking to be open, transparent and without hypocrisy.
