Stanley Church of the Brethren

What are services like?
Services are welcoming with worship from CDs. We receive praise and prayer requests during the service. (Will pray with you individually also if you would like). A children's sermon is given before the main sermon. Communion is given the first Sunday of each month. The second Sunday of the month is a Children's Sunday. The service is geared toward the children. We celebrate birthdays and anniversaries.

What is the community like?
The Church community has friendly people who like to lend a hand to those in need. We welcome everyone and encourage people to come as they are. We are a church that believes God's Word is the inspired Word of God and that it is flawless. Our goal is to follow it. There is no condemnation and allow God to do the work in each person. We are here to follow His lead and love as He loved.

What if I'm not a Christian?
That's o.k. You are very welcome to attend. We would love to meet you and get to know you. Sharing the Word of God just as Jesus did to anyone who comes our way. Our goal is to be like Jesus with skin on. To act in a loving way that draws people to God not pushes them away. We all have sinned, none of us are perfect. There are no perfect churches because there are no perfect people. Our goal is to see people through the eyes of our loving God that loved us so much and took care of the sin problem that was keeping us out of fellowship with Himself. He sent His Son to pay the debt for our sins on the cross of calvary. His blood was shed for us. He is alive as He was raised from the dead which gives us opportunity to believe and the ability to be in the presence of our God, the God that created us. It's a process, but what is so cool...God does not give up on us. As we read and hear the Word of God, we receive hope and this emptiness, this longing that is found in us all for something bigger than ourselves can be filled. So, know you are very welcome.
