Discipleship

Sunday Worship Service – 10 am

Kimmels Church is offering an in-person as well as live-streamed service at 10 am on Sunday morning. Adult and youth baptisms are held during our Sunday Worship Service hour. We believe that the New Testament baptism by immersion “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” is a symbol of our faith in the crucified, buried and risen Lord, and of our death to sin and resurrection to a new life. The nursery is also open for children up to 4 years of age.

Sunday Small Group Study

Adults & Kids - Every 1st & 3rd Sunday - 9 am to 9:45 am

All are invited to join us for our Sunday small group studies. We offer a class for adults as well as a class for kids ages K - 5th grade. Our adult group study is entitled Multiply. God wants disciples of Jesus to make other disciples of Jesus. Francis Chan, best-selling author and founding Pastor of Cornerstone Church, and David Platt, author and Lead Pastor at McLean Bible Church, provide this simple, practical, biblical, helpful, and personal resource to help us understand Scripture and give us the tools to disciple others. Our younger kids (K to 5th grade) are beginning a new study program entitled All Together Sunday School. This curriculum is designed to simplify the teachings of the Bible for everyday life, and help children have a deeper relationship with God.

Sunday Morning Book Study

Adults - Every 2nd & 4th Sunday - 8:45 am to 9:45 am

On April 27th we will finish our study of Colin Marshall and Tony Payne's book, The Trellis and the Vine. As we've learned, all Christian ministry is a mixture of trellis and vine. There is vine work: the prayerful preaching and teaching of the Word of God to see people converted and grow to maturity as disciples of Christ. Vine work is the Great Commission. And there is trellis work: creating and maintaining the physical and organizational structures and programs that support vine work and its growth.The image of the trellis and the vine raises all the fundamental questions of Christian ministry:

· What is the vine for?

· How does the vine grow?

· How does the vine relate to my church?

· What is vine work and what is trellis work, and how can we tell the difference?

· What part do different people play in growing the vine?

· How can we get more people involved in vine work?

In The Trellis and the Vine, Colin Marshall and Tony Payne answer these urgent questions afresh. They dig back into the Bible’s view of Christian ministry and argue that a major mind-shift is required if we are to fulfill the Great Commission of Christ, and see the vine flourish again. This book study is for everyone who desires to see God grow the vine in and through His church at Kimmels, and how they can be used by Him to accomplish the work. Much discussion will be given on how to “shift” our mindset from trellis work back to a biblical vine focus.

Teen Sunday School

Every Sunday @ 9 am - Chapel

Our Teen Sunday School takes place in the lower level of the Chapel @ 9 am. Our curriculum is entitled 'Connect The Testaments'. Much of what we learn serves an immediate purpose, but God's Word has eternal life. That is why it is vital we seek his Spirit through prayer and Bible study. This study challenges our teens through reading the Word, thought provoking questions, and life application to properly exegete the Bible. The class is taught by Micah Ruch, Jared Williams and Ariana Ansel.

Adult Study Group

Wednsdays 6:30 pm

Our Wednesday adult small study group will continue through April 30th. Led by Jack Wetzel we are taking a look at a few of the phenomenal events that took place when Jesus died, including a darkness that came over all the land, the earth quaked, the rocks split, the temple curtain was torn, and the bodies of many saints were raised from the dead. Please join us - you won't want to miss it!

Women's Study Group

Thursdays - 6:30 pm

Our next study is entitled Fighting With Faith. It is an in-depth, four-week study that goes verse by verse through the book of Philippians. From beginning to end, the book of Philippians speaks to the blessings believers receive from their union with Christ. Paul encourages believers to live lives worthy of the gospel by examining themes of joy, endurance, fellowship, and contentment. This study will fix your eyes on the grace and glory of Christ, and will teach you what it truly means to fight with faith.

Child Evangelism Fellowship Good News Club

The 'Good News Club' is a weekly Bible club for elementary kids that meets on Wednesday afternoons, at the Blue Mountain Elementary East building following the school day. The purpose of the ‘Good News Club ‘ is to evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of Jesus and disciple them in the Word of God. Kimmels Church is a proud sponsor of the Club that meets during the fall and spring school year. The Good News Club spring session continues through April 9.

The Journey Discipleship Program

The Journey is a one-year, intentional plan for discipleship that provides a purposeful process for maturing in Christ. Throughout The Journey, both new and seasoned disciples will encounter key ideas and practices to help them grow in Christ and mature as disciple makers. You can participate as either a mentor (leading a group or person through the series), or as a disciple (being led through the series). The current Journey Program runs from April 2025 through March 206.
