To be Christian is to Grow in Faith!

A major part of our mission involves serving those who desire a deeper understanding of their faith. To that end, we offer a variety of growth opportunities.


​Faith Alive

As Christians, we strive toward life-long learning and growth. Beginning this Advent (Nov. 28th, 2021) at 9am each Sunday, we’ll gather in Bradford Hall for this purpose! Faith Alive is an opportunity to enliven and enact our faith. In several short series, we’ll engage a variety of faithful topics and invest in service opportunities. 

Current Topics within Faith Alive:

  • Christmas At the Movies, led by Pastor Emily
  • Plugged-IN: Opportunities to learn about local non-profits such as Pierre Area Referral Service, National Alliance on Mental Illness, Missouri Shores, Avera Hospital Volunteer Chaplaincy, Foster Care & WRAP services, Al-Anon, and more!
  • The Spirit of John Prine: Stories of Grace & Redemption, led by AJ Munger


​Riggs Guild

​Women’s guilds have long been a source of community, service, and study in our church. This year, the Riggs Guild & Mayflower Guild have decided to combine and form one guild: the Riggs Guild, to honor the Riggs name of our heritage (Read more history here if you’re interested!)

All are welcome to join the Riggs Guild gatherings on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 1:30pm in Bradford Hall. Arlene Krueger will be leading a bible study. The Riggs guild is also a great way to get involved in service within the church. Let Teddie Adamski or Lavonne Pickering know if you have questions.

Messy Church

Messy Church occurs the 1st Wednesday of each month at 5:30pm in our fellowship hall and begins with a FREE meal. The growth that follows is fun and free-flowing, because we trust the Spirit is at work through story, song, sharing, and hands-on activities.  This dynamic gathering offers all ages a chance to be playful, creative, and collaborative in doing church.

5 Values guide our time together: 
  • Creativity
  • Hospitality
  • All-Ages
  • Celebration
  • Christ-Centered!

It really is life-giving for adults, youth, and children alike:
​So join our messy lives as we embody Christ’s love together!
