Within This Topic:
The church is made up of people. The people performing a variety of mission, staffing and fun activities. All of them are a service for God for the benefit of his children.This web site can not track all the activities carried out by the people of the Bergstrasse congregation.
However, this section does give you excellent insight based on the perspectives of those individuals serving as our staff. Please see the links to the left below "Within This Topic" for these perspectives.
Information about some specific ministries discussed in those perspectives can be found under "Stuff We Do". Our newsletters are packed with a variety of information about our congregation life.
Naturally the best way to learn about a congregation is to join us. Just show up and tell us about your needs or interests for service.
