Worship & Music
Church Choir: Practice Wednesdays before 2nd & 4th Sundays at 5:30 p.m.
Bell Choir: Practice Wednesdays before 1st & 3rd Sundays at 5:30 p.m.
Our music is another way in which we worship. We sing hymns, chorus and contemporary songs that lift our praises to God. You don’t have to sing, or play an instrument, or raise a hand in prayer to God. The only thing you need is a willingness to put everything else aside and just just our Holy, Living God, for He is worthy to be praised!!
Trunk or Treat
For a safe Halloween, we hold a Trunk or Treat. We give out candy and children’s books to over 200 children. Due to the pick up times for the Boys and Girls club we will not be able to hold our Trunk or Treat for 2018. Please have a fun and safe night where ever you are.

Friends of Burma is dedicated to helping the Christians of Burma in whatever way they want to be helped. About 80% of the Protestants are Baptists, so much of our work is with the Baptists. Christians number about 1.5 million in a country of about 50 million, most of whom are Buddhist. It incorporated as a Non Profit Corporation with the state of Indiana in 2006. It was approved by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) organization in its own right November 2007. It is governed by a board called the Executive Committee of sixteen which has an Annual Meeting in the Phoenix area in February or March. In the U. S. all work is done by volunteers with one paid financial secretary overseas. There is also an administrative board, which evaluates programs and makes recommendations.
