Ministries

Sunday School

We currently have two Sunday School classes. One for children up to age 12 and then the adult class. We are planning on starting a new class when we return in May.

Saturday Bible Club
Every Saturday morning from 10 til noon, we hold Saturday Bible Club. It is a time of Bible memorization, discipleship, character building, Bible stories, games, and snacks. This has been a great outreach ministry as many of the people are Catholic and will not allow their children to attend a regular Baptist service, but they do allow them to come to Bible Club. We have seen many children saved in this ministry.

Youth Meeting

Every other Friday, we hold Youth Meeting with Victory Baptist Church of Piaye, St Lucia. Victory Baptist Church was started by missionary Larry Townsend. It is a time geared especially for the youth, but everyone attends. We have Bible quizzes, games, food, and a time of preaching usually done by the preacher boys.

Bus Ministry
We run two bus routes to pick up people for church for every service. In St. Lucia, most people do not own a vehicle, so most people travel by taxi or bus. The unfortunate thing is that the bus system does not run on Sunday. Our busses on the island are 15 passenger vans that are usually packed as full as possible. Our record for the old 12 passenger van is 31. We really do have a great time on the bus with the families that ride the bus.

VBS

Vacation Bible School is a highlight for our church every year. We have had high attendance of 100 children in our 24' x 58' building. It has been a wonderful time of church growth and unity with most of the workers being church members.
