Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Men's Bible Study
The Men's Bible Study provides structured learning and spiritual fellowship. We provide support materials and help to provide biblical understanding, historical/doctrinal knowledge, and a solid base for contemporary relevance.
Women's Bible Study
The Woman's Bible Study provides structured learning and spiritual fellowship. We provide support materials and help to provide biblical understanding, historical/doctrinal knowledge, and a solid base for contemporary relevance.
Missions and Outreach
We provide opportunities to make God's love real in the world by meeting people's needs and sharing the Gospel in practical ways in our local community, region, and world.
Parent Ministry
The Parent Ministry serves to provide opportunities and programs for both parents and the family as a whole. Striving to be a "community of loving disciples, growing in spiritual maturity," the Parent Ministry offers many ways for families of all ages to connect relationally and spiritually.
Student Ministry
This program helps students to know, love and serve the Lord through discussions of the Bible and field trips.
Children's Ministry
Learning to love and worship the Lord with games, singing and other activities. Some of our big events include Vacation Bible Study and Trunk or Treat.
Community Life and Fellowship Ministry
The Community Life and Fellowship Ministry arranges opportunities that nurture and deepen relationships among the congregation and its extended community, creating a loving, caring community of believers who demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit by loving Christ and each other with friendliness, true concern and compassion. Food and drinks seem to be a good way to start those relationships (after worship)!
B.L.A.S.T.
This college age group is all about Belonging, Learning, and Serving Together (B.L.A.S.T.)
Hope, Help, and Healing
Hope, Help & Healing is an open sharing support group that is Biblically-based and Christ-centered.
It is a safe place of confidentiality, mutual respect and acceptance to get support and help in dealing with issues such as low self-esteem, loneliness, depression, eating disorders, co-dependency, abuse, broken relationships, drug and alcohol addiction, financial stress, fears and anger.
Through discussing challenges and sharing experiences, strengths and hopes with one another, feelings of isolation, fear and hopelessness diminish.
Mom2Mom
Mom2Mom is a group of women who meet on Thursday mornings during the school year for a time of study, support and prayer. Daycare is available.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We are strive to empower and equip people to be like Jesus – loving, compassionate, kind, joyful, generous, just, peaceful, humble, and merciful. We seek to share God’s love in practical ways in our community with people of all ages and without distinction. We see our facilities as a tool to serve the community and through our generous giving and volunteering make a lasting difference in the lives of thousands of people.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We connect individuals with their God-given identity and purpose through experiences of worship with other spiritual seekers. We assist people to discover their servant profile which includes their spiritual gifts, personal style, and passion and we place them in a role where they can give meaningful service and be a blessing to other people. We encourage people to become a part of a small group for mutual care, belonging, and continued growth and accountability.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Our congregation is one of the largest in our area in terms of people who attend and belong, staff, physical plant, and financial capacity. We also believe strongly in partnering with other social benefit organizations whose purposes are in line with our own including, but not limited to, the Lower Cape Outreach Council, Homeless Prevention Council, Alzheimer’s Family Support Center, and Cape Cod Children’s Place, and Habitat for Humanity. We have cultivated a strong and healthy relationship with our town including the Brewster Library which is our neighbor to the west. We open our facility to town programs and needs and to many organizations. We raise close to $1,000,000 a year almost exclusively from the individuals who are a part of our congregation and from a few grants. We are very well known and respected on Cape Cod.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
While we will always be pursuing our mission we will never fully achieve it. However, we can say with confidence that every year we are influencing and impacting the lives of hundreds and hundreds of people who are touched in some way by one of our ministries. We know we’re being successful when we hear the testimonies of people who write, email, call, or share how our church has made a difference in their lives. However, there are still so many people who are hurting, grieving, struggling with innumerable issues including addiction, loneliness, and a lack of purpose and direction and an absence of love in their life that we will never get to a point where our work is finished.
