Bible Fellowship Church of Ephrata - Changing Lives that are Changing Lives

Adult Ministries - Connecting with those within the church:

Getting connected is a very important part of our family life here. We want you to feel at home and one to do that is to get involved with groups where you will meet and grow with those in your group. We offer many different groups for you to connect with.

Mercy Ministries The Care center was organized by some of the small groups in the church. The purpose of the care center is to assist church and non-church members with prayer, physical, or food assistance. (Examples - moving assistance, yard work, prepared meals, donations of food.) If you would like to talk to someone about volunteering or receiving help, please contact Ashley Scheirer at bfccarecenter@yahoo.com.

Life Groups Ministry One of the best things about Life Groups is how lifelong friendships are formed. Life Groups have a huge impact for growing in a personal relationship with Christ on our spiritual journey, and much deeper friendships are formed personally, and in the context of community. It provides participants with a safe place to share needs and concerns. People support each other while serving others with compassion, and help those who have various needs both inside and outside our church. Spiritual growth and transformation happen in groups. Life Groups also provide leadership opportunities and training. In this age of over-committed schedules, gridlock highways and non-personal internet communication, it is wonderful way to help people reconnect and grow together personally and spiritually. Doing Life together is: Approximately 22 various age groups from our Singles groups through ages 55 plus. Each group has approximately 6 to 12 participants. We meet on a regular basis in the spring and fall for approximately 1 ½ to 2 hours one evening a week. And there’s always great food!

Men’s Ministry R.O.C.K. The Men’s Ministry is currently under reconstruction.

Prayer Services We offer two prayer services each Wednesday. The first meets at 3 PM and the second meets at 7 PM. These services are designed to allow people to get together and pray for whatever God lays on their hearts. There is a short devotional, but most of the time is just spent praying.

Senior Life Ministry Those aged 50 and above are encouraged to attend the various monthly activities, some of which are trips to interesting locations and others for fellowship at the church. Most activities are held during the day on the third Thursday of each month. Approximately 30 "senior" (aged 50 and above) meet each Sunday from 9:15 to 10:15 AM for a discussion on pertinent subjects in the Bible.

Women’s Ministry The Women's Ministry Mission Statement is as follows: "As women obeying the Word of God and trusting in Him, we are commissioned to support each other through prayer, encourage each other toward spiritual maturity and provide mentoring to one another." They do their planning with this in mind. They offer a variety of activities throughout the year.
