Why be part of a church?
• You have the opportunity to learn more about God and the Bible, and to grow spiritually as a result.
• You and your children receive a firm moral and ethical grounding, and you will hear God's perspective on life.
• If you are a skeptic or have doubts, you may receive answers to many of your questions by coming to church
and attending adult Sunday School.
• God calls us to spend time with Him, so we get to know the Creator of the universe. What better way to start the
week than worshipping God with a gathering of believers each Sunday?
• You become part of a "family" that cares about you.
• We nourish our bodies. We should also nourish our spirits. Worship, Sunday School, Bible study and prayer are
good ways to do this.
• The hour or so attending church will be the most rewarding of your 112 waking hours in the week.
Why should I attend
• All are welcome. We have "open minds, open hearts and open doors."
• We are small enough to know you personally but large enough to have a variety of ministries and studies.
• We are a caring family that values each member, and we are a kid friendly congregation.
• In our Sunday school we reinforce the values you are teaching your children.
• We teach the Bible in such a way that you can get to know God for yourself.
• As we grow, we will continue to add ministries and programs to meet the needs of the congregation and the
community.
• We are conveniently located just off Route 9D, easily accessible from all parts of Beacon and surrounding towns.

We encourage you to pay us a visit. If you have children, there is no better way to have them learn about God and the Christian faith than by attending church and Sunday School with you. If you are new to the Beacon area, attending church is a good way to meet people and make new friends.
Please join us this Sunday! See Schedule page for times of services and various ongoing studies and meetings.
