Sunday School includes all ages with
supervised nurseries and classes beginning with 2 year old through kindergarten in
the pre-school department, primary department for grades 1-3,

7 adult classes offering a variety of Bible studies and fellowships.
The groups meet at 10 AM every Sunday of the year.
Preaching and Teaching
The church worship services are at 11
AM and 7 PM each Sunday. The services usually include a Bible based message by
one of the pastors as well as congregational singing and
testimonies. On Wednesday at 7 PM there is a meeting for Bible discussion,

Grace Christian School
A private Christian School was founded
in 1972 with kindergarten. It is now offers a K-12 program in three combination
elementary classrooms for children from K-5 and a Learning Center for
students in grade 6-12. We presently have 5 full time teachers and 2 part
time staff members plus volunteers who work with 65 students. We
have 71 graduates. Our school serves many Christian families in our
community. Mr. David Wishart is
the principal.
Campus Bible Fellowship
In 1979 we purchased a single family
home at 1232 Highland Avenue adjacent to the campus of Minnesota State
University at Mankato. The house provides a kitchen and lounge for weekly
Bible studies where students can relax, study, and develop
relationships. Rick and Delana Powers and their 4 daughters live in the
upper levels of the house and they are both involved in befriending students
and supporting them in making good decisions while at the
University. The lounge is also used by the Chinese Bible Study group; they have
weekly discussions in the Mandarin language. Rick Powers can be
reached at 345 4862 or [email protected].
Awana Clubs
During the school year children are
welcome to participate in the Awana Club program. There are approximately 32 club
meetings for children from age 4 - grade 6. The meetings are scheduled at
6:30 PM on Wednesday between September and April. More
information can be obtained from the church office.
Growing Kids God's Way
Parents may get involved in a study group
called "Growing Kids God's Way" which is periodically offered usually on
Wednesday evenings to coincide with the Awana program.
Missionary Outreach
We regularly support missionary
families in Europe, Africa, Asia, North and South America. These teams work through
various Baptist Missionary Agencies to help in evangelism, church planting
and medical ministry. We presently help support 15 family teams and
encourage our members to explore short term missionary opportunities.
Media Ministries
Each week our church program "I
Believe In Miracles" is produced and aired on KEYC- TV at 10 AM on Sunday. This
gospel telecast was started in February of 1961 and is in the 39th year of
presenting a music and message format to plant the seed of God's Word in
the homes throughout Southern Minnesota and Northern Iowa. The
program is supported by the church and assisted through contributions from
churches of like faith and order throughout the viewing area. The
program is also released on CCTV (ch 13) on the Mankato cable system as well as
three other cable systems in the area, St. James, New Ulm and St.
Peter.
Dial-a-meditation is a 24 hour a day service that
