Congratulations, Shradar Family!

Friends, Neighbors & Newcomers,join us in worship as we glorify God. Faith is the heart of the Kroc Community. We believe it is this faith in Jesus that allows us to make a difference and transform lives.

Adult Bible Study 9:30amAll of us have important questions about faith, God and how to make good choices. Studying the scripture in a small group helps us discover what God invites us to be, do and change in order to be healthy in body, mind and soul.

Sunday School Classes 9:30amStart your morning off by singing songs, memorizing Bible verses, and working as a team to learn the books of the Bible. Sunday School classes for preschoolers, elementary agers and Jr./Sr. High Schoolers available.

Estudio Biblico lunes, 5-6:30pm

Todos pueden ser participes.

Escuela dominical para Niños y adultos domingo, 9:30am

La Iglesia del Kroc Center ofrece Escuela Dominical y clases de Educación Cristiana a las 9:30am cada Domingo antes del culto para ambos jóvenes y adultos.

Ministerio significa “servicio” que es el ideal para todos los cristianos, que es la imagen de Cristo como siervo (Filipenses 2:5-7; Marcos 10:45) se extendió a los cristianos como iglesia en su conjunto.

Tomando en cuenta esto hemos comenzado hace dos meses todos los días lunes “Estudio Bíblico en Español” en donde aprendemos de una manera más específica, minuciosa y clara de lo que es creer por Fe en este Dios tan maravilloso y lleno de amor. Otra actividad que se ha ido realizando en los días domingos, es la “Escuela dominical” en donde hablamos diversos temas para la familia en su totalidad.

Se está en planeamiento el iniciar “curso de discipulado” y “reuniones de alabanza y adoración en español”, proyectos a mediano plazo que nos otorgarán vivir momentos gratos compartiendo los unos con los otros y será una forma para que nuevas personas puedan también llegar a conocer a quien nos dio la vida.

Tú puedes ser parte de todo esto, estamos preparando la tierra porque sabemos y creemos que Dios muy prontamente dará la cosecha y quizás sería bueno que veas de como Dios nos va a sorprender.

Dios te bendiga,
