Spiritual Ministries
The basic purpose of our educational/spiritual ministry is to provide knowledge
of God through His Word, as provided in the Bible. Without this knowledge, we could not
truly worship God. Sunday School classes are provided for all age groups from nursery
through adult classes.

Women’s
Outreach- To

church, the community, and links to the broader, church-wide women’s outreach
ministries. The women meet the second Tuesday of each month during the day
to quilt and make
items for the annual Virginia Relief Sale, which benefits Mennonite
Central Committee (MCC); the women also respond to needs in the church and community. There
also are times of Bible study and fellowship
luncheons.

Disaster Service is a channel through which various constituencies of
the Anabaptist church can respond to those affected by disasters in North
America. While our main focus is on clean up, repair and rebuilding
homes, this activity becomes a means of touching lives and helping people
regain faith and wholeness.
