Children’s Classes — 10 am and 11 am every Sunday

Classes for the children provide an opportunity to study Bible doctrines in a manner that the children find interesting and relevant as well as Bible stories with application in a survey which teaches the big picture of the Bible.

Youth Group — monthly activities

Our young youth enjoy a regular monthly activity including fun outings, crazy games, community service, as well as Biblical teaching and healthy discussion of topics affecting youth of today.

Young Adults — Sunday afternoons and evenings

Our teens and young adults often enjoy a Sunday afternoon hike and usually have a Sunday evening fellowship, sometimes with an outdoor activity or a movie and, of course, food. This friendly group welcomes newcomers.

Adult Classes — 10 am every Sunday

Our early classes emphasize the believer’s relationship with God, the application of biblical principles to daily life, and effective Christian service. We are currently exploring Koine Greek, the Greek language of Biblical times, including learning the Greek alphabet, learning to parse a word, learning the most commonly used words, and learning significant sentences of the Old and New Testaments.

Mid-Week Bible Study — monthly

Our mid-week Bible study and fellowship is a time for spiritual refreshment, corporate prayer, and supper.  Occasionally we have a Bible quiz night or an evening dedicated to trying new songs for consideration of use in our Sunday services.

Personal Discipleship — scheduled privately as needed

Individual needs and interests are recognized through Bible studies available with a mentor for anyone who desires help.

Leadership Training — weekday evenings during school terms

Men and women are both encouraged to participate in a 10-course Bible-based curriculum which is designed to equip leaders for service in the local church.  The class currently running is Personal Spiritual Life. Enrolled students represent four Waikato area churches.

Ladies’ Bible Study — monthly meetings

A monthly evening Bible study for women with topics applicable to living as women in today’s world.  Contact for details of location.

Biblical Leadership Training (BLT) — weekday evenings during school terms

Adults are encouraged to participate in a 10-course Bible-based curriculum which is designed to equip church members for service in the local church.  Classes are held 7p – 9p once a week on select weeknights during school terms. Students typically take one or two classes per year. For those students who choose to complete the entire programme, a graduation is held and a completion certificate is awarded. Enrolled students represent multiple Waikato area churches. One of our recent graduates had a successful application for a prison chaplaincy role because he had this formal qualification.

CAP Money — budgeting course

CAP Money is a four-week course that helps participants take control of their finances. Taught from a biblical perspective, our church members have received immense benefit from applying the principles. This course is offered several times a year. Please register your interest in attending the next course.

Other Fellowship Opportunities

The third Sunday of every month we enjoy a shared lunch and fellowship following our services.  This is a great time to visit informally with anyone in our church family.  There is always plenty of food.  We also periodically enjoy a movie evening when we watch and discuss a Christian movie.  Teen camps and retreats as well as men’s and ladies retreats are enjoyed annually.
