Currently Studying: Psalms

This Year: After concluding our powerful study of Psalms which focused, in part, on our relationship with God, next year we will shift our focus to the relationship that God wants us to have with each other. We will start the 2026-2027 class year with Christian Living. The course will begin with the book Philemon. This letter by Paul is a practical demonstration of the gospel transforming social relationships teaching forgiveness, reconciliation and Christian brotherhood.The dynamic relationship between truth and love is a common theme in Philemon; 1, 2, and 3 John; and Jude. Truth without love is harsh, and lovewithout truth lacks sincerity. But when combined, truth and love are powerful forces. They change people’s lives and bring the kingdom of God into a world that needs Him. Jesus embodies perfect truth and love, and He is our example of how to live them out in a practical, everyday way.

MINISTRIES

Next Gen Ministry

Our Peace River class has a full NextGen Ministry program. We welcome all pre-registered children/youth from birth up to 18 years. For more information contact us to enroll your children/youth today. Teaching students the word of God is a vital part of nurturing their spiritual growth and helping them build a strong foundation of faith. By introducing biblical stories, encouraging prayer, and discussing the teachings of Jesus in ways that are accessible and engaging for young minds, we can guide students to understand God's love and the importance of living according to His principles. Activities such as interactive storytelling, memorizing verses, and creating opportunities for children to ask questions foster a deeper connection to the Scriptures and make learning about God both meaningful and memorable.
