This year looks to be a very promising and exciting time for us. There are so many things to look forward to. Our church family is being led by God’s spirit to make an impact on our community. There is a real feeling of mission, as we allow God’s love to be poured through us.  We are energized by His spirit to care for the needs of our community, here in Ephrata, as well as around the world.

          At Bergstrasse a Rotation Sunday school is offered for the youth at nine a.m. most Sunday mornings from September through May. This program utilizes multiple learning techniques to teach a lesson. Children learn by acting, writing, hearing, playing, speaking, watching, and sometimes even eating, their way through stories of the Bible and learning about God’s love.

          Older youth have been exploring God’s message through a class that reviews contemporary Christian music. They listen to and discuss the lyrics by Christian artists, and how they relate to their personal walk of faith.

          An adult Sunday school is also offered, where a topic is reviewed and discussed sometimes using a study guide and other times using a video.

          The worship service begins at 10:30. We are supported by no less than five choirs, and worship is presented through music and scripture. All are welcome as we worship together and learn anew the message of God’s love for us and His will for our lives.

          Special events happen throughout the year that brings our church-family closer, There are times of fellowship, events planned to promote and support community missions, as well as events to connect us and guide us to a closer understanding of our faith.

          Please join with us and participate in the worship of our Creator, and support us as we as we present the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord.
