Why Do We Meet on Saturday?
Saturday or the Sabbath is a day of rest, reflection, enjoyment, and worship. It dates back to the seventh day of the creation week, when God stopped His work and took time to rest and savor all He had created — setting an example we still follow. On the Sabbath day, we too pause from our work, reflect, and rejuvenate. We put aside the cares of the world so we can focus on our relationships and spend time together. Sabbath rest and worship give us the perfect opportunity to connect with God and with each other.

Saturday Bible Study for Adults,

Join us every Saturday at 10 am for a lively discussion of God’s Word and its impact on our lives. Our general adult group — a diverse group for all ages — dives into a new topic each quarter. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we are studying Themes in the Gospel of John. If you’d like to follow along, daily lessons — in web, audio, and PDF form — are available here in multiple languages.
Our Young Adults small group, where most participants are 18–30 years, has many interesting and free-flowing guided discussions on God’s word. Currently, this group is exploring the book of Revelation and the prophecies of end time. We welcome new members of any age and hope to nurture strong bonds as we plan more weeknight Bible study groups and social activities together.
