Choir

There's nothing that can replace a classic church choir! We welcome all ages and abilities, even if you dont' know how to read music. We rehearse every Wednesday at 5:00pm. 

No audition is required! Just a willingness to share your voice and be part of something special. This is a lively and fun group, and we welcome you to join us in this experience.

Bible Study

We invite you to join our enriching morning Bible study led by our pastor in a warm and intimate small group setting. This is a place where personal attention is paramount, fostering a supportive environment for everyone, regardless of your level of religious knowledge or experience. We meet every Thursday morning at 9:30am and delve into the Bible passages presented at the upcoming Sunday worship service. 

We value and welcome all ideas and perspectives, encouraging open and respectful discussions as we explore the teachings of the Bible together. Come join us this Thursday as we journey together in faith and fellowship.

Bemidji Food Shelf

The church's involvement in supporting the local food shelf is deeply rooted in our passion and mission to serve the community. Our commitment extends beyond mere donations; it encompasses active participation in organizing food drives, volunteering at distribution centers, and raising awareness about hunger issues. We rotate and take shifts to serve at the Bemidji Food Shelf on the second Monday and Friday of every month. 

Through these efforts, we strive to make a meaningful impact on the lives of individuals and families facing food shortages. We see this as an integral part of our spiritual journey, and this ministry benefits people right here in the local area.

For more information or to volunteer, please contact Karin at ksnortland5@gmail.com.

Worship Volunteers & Events

There’s a place for everyone, and we’d love for you to be part of it. Be sure to come as you are! We have worship volunteers to help with our Sunday Services, such as ushers, readers, communion assistants, and fellowship hosts.   

Our church calendar stays full with events such as our annual garage sale each summer, craft & bake sale in the fall, Christmas Eve and Easter services, Trunk or Treat for Halloween, and our summer youth day camp. We also give thousands each year to local nonprofits, and our committees help decide where those gifts have a strong impact in our area.
