Bus Ministry
The Bible commands us to go out into the highways and hedges and bring them in. The bus ministry allows us to fulfill that commandment.
​
Each route is designed to pick up people who want to know God and develop a relationship with Him. When you ride our buses, you will be greeted by a bus worker. Each bus has been cleaned since last use, and sanitized. We will sing, hear the Bible taught, play games, and come to church. The Bible is taught. Salvation will be explained. You will be taught things that will help you grow as a Christian. We will sing, and I believe after riding once, you will want to ride weekly. We have Sunday School by age and have the greatest pastor who will love you. Remember God loves you, and we hope you will see the love of Jesus while here.
​
We currently have five bus routes. We pick up children, teens, and adults every Sunday for our morning services. All routes except for Bus 5 picks up in time for the 8:45am service and Sunday School at 10:00am, then afterwards, leave to drop everyone off at home. Bus 5 picks up for Sunday School at 10:00am and leaves after the 11:00am service ends, around 12:15pm.
The bus ride to and from church is unforgettable. We sing Scripture songs, learn new memory verses, listen to preaching, and play fun games!
