On Sunday – the Lord’s Day – we come together to
-
Offer Worship, Praise, and Thanksgiving to the Lord - Psalm 95:6; Ps. 116:18; Ps. 40:3
-
Break Bread (Communion) - Ps. 40:3; Acts 2:42, 46;
-
Hear God’s Word - Ps. 40:3; 85:8; Acts 2:42
-
Fellowship with believers - Acts 2:42
We recognize Sunday, the first day of the week, as the Lord’s Day (Mark 16:1-6; John 20:19; Rev. 1:10; Acts 20:7).
(Psalm 27:4).
On the Lord’s Day we gather together as His people, to worship the Lord remembering His great love and the redemptive
work done for us on the cross of Calvary. We sing hymns and choruses, meditate on God’s Word, and take part in His Table
(Communion) as commanded by the Lord and taught by the early apostles (Ps. 24:7; Luke 22:19-20; Acts 2:42, Acts 20:7; I
Cor. 11:23-31). Believers are given the privilege of individually praising and thanking the Lord before partaking in the
Lord’s Table (Psalm 22:2; Ps. 116:13,14; Ps. 40:3). Thus, instead of the pastor alone giving thanks for the Bread and
the Cup, the participating believers are also given the privilege of offering their thanksgiving to the Lord who gave
His body to be broken for them, and shed His blood for the remission of their sins. This is a wonderful experience for
God’s people at the Table of the Lord on every Lord’s Day (Acts 20:7). A message of teaching and instruction from the
Word of God follows.
After the service, those who can stay back participate in a fellowship-meal. We believe the church is the Household of
God (Ephesians 2:19). And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached
unto them (Acts 20:7).
"Ye shall neither worship in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father …… But the hour cometh, and now is,
when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him."
(John 4:21-23).

East Lansing, MI: Tuesday 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM

"Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples." Luke 11:1
"Peter therefore was kept in prison; but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him" Acts 12:5
"Watch and pray..." Matthew 26:41
D.L. Moody rightly said, “It is foolish and wicked to try to do God’s work without God’s power. But, there is no way for
Christians to have God’s power except by prayer”. It can be said that prayer meetings are the backbone of the church.
The last message of the Lord to his disciples was: Watch and pray (Matt. 26:41). We believe, a Christian is to pray
literally about everything (John R. Rice) and that a life of prayer is necessary for understanding heavenly things
(Bakht Singh). We meet for prayer once a week. In our prayer meetings we bring our needs and problems to the Lord and
seek His guidance for the ministry.
Bible Study
Canton, MI (Farmington Hills, MI*): Friday 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM
East Lansing, MI: Thursday 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM
Missasagua, Canada: [date] 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM

"Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God" - Mark 12:24.
"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" - II Timothy 2:15.
Learning more of the Word of God and coming under the power thereof is our desire. Believers of different areas meet for
Bible studies on different days of the week. All the Bible studies are participatory. The participants are given the
privilege of sharing their thoughts and also to raise questions during the study (Acts 17:11; 2 Timothy 2:15).
*The Canton's church's Bible Studies are held in a separate location in Farmington Hills, MI. Click here to see the location.
Additionally, the Canton location has Bible Studies occasionally after the service. You are welcome to come for that as well
Children's Ministry
"Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not" - Mark 10:14.
"And there arose another generation after them, which knew not the Lord, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel" - Judges 2:10.
"Let your children tell their children" - Joel 1:3.
"And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures" - 2 Timothy 3:15.
We believe, it is extremely important for the church and the parents to take care of the spiritual needs of the
children. If the Lord tarries, they are the ones who shall be Witnesses and Ministers in the next generation. Parents
are exhorted to pray much for their children and teach them God’s Word. Sunday school is not a substitute for what the
parents should be teaching their children.
On Sundays, children are taught the Word of God in separate rooms during our Worship Services. All the teachers, who are born-again and baptized, periodically meet for prayer and consultation.
Additional, in mid-July, we have a children's camp, where children 3-12 years old are invited to participate in learning more about God's Word.
The children's camp is held for 3 days on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. On Thurday and Friday, the children's camp goes from 8 AM to 3 PM, with lunch provided, snacks, and games and activities.
On Saturday, the children's camp runs from 8 AM to 12:30 PM, where parents are invited to come for a potluck lunch.
The camp is held at First Presbyterian Church in Farmington Hills, the same location as the Canton Bible Study. The camp is free to attend. If you are intrested in the children's camp we will post details as the date approaches. Additionally, you can contact [] for more information.
Youth Ministry
"Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit,
in faith, in purity."" - 1 Timothy 4:12
"How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word." - Psalm 119:9
Occasionally, on Saturdays, we have youth meetings where the youth come together to hear about God's word, in addition to partaking in activities. Anyone can join from 13-30 years old. If you are intrested in joining these meetings contact [] for more information.
In addition, in August, we have a Youth Camp, where youth from 13-30 years old are invited to participate in the youth camp. In the youth camp, the youth learn more about the Word of God, as well as partake in many fun games and activities.
The youth are put into teams, and through the duration of the camp, have to compete with the other teams through different games and activities to win, such as volleyball, memorizing Bible verses, charades, acting out a skit, and much more. There are also non-team activites, such as basketball, kayaking, and more.
The Youth Camp runs four days, from Wednesday to Saturday. It is an overnight camp, where the youth will arrive on Wednesday afternoon and stay until Saturday afternoon.
On Saturday, all parents are invited to come for a potluck lunch.
The camp is held at Faholo Conference Center in Grass Lake, MI. The camp is free to attend. More information will be posted as the date of the youth camp approaches. if you are intrested in attending contact [] for more information.
