Berlin
Evangelical Free Church
- a
satellite of Terrace Shores -
Many of you have heard the news at congregational meetings that Terrace
Shores is gearing up for a satellite church plant in mid-2009 in Berlin,
WI. No, this does not have to do with s atellites
orbiting the earth – we’re using the word “satellite” to emphasize that
the Berlin church will be a part of our church. The Berlin church will
truly be part of Terrace Shores, sharing leadership and resources, only
being smaller and meeting separately. The sermon at the new church will
be delivered via video, primarily, with the worship music being
performed “live.”
Why
Berlin?
Several families already drive to Terrace Shores from Berlin (as well as
to other nearby Ev. Free churches), and so this service will relieve a
little of the attendance strain at our current location. However, more
importantly, we believe that there is a strong need in Berlin for
reaching the lost. Berlin has 5300 people, which makes it the largest
city in the neighboring 3 counties (Green Lake, Marquette, and
Waushara).
What’s been
happening?
During the past year, a small group has been meeting in Berlin twice a
month for Bible study and prayer, with the intention of forming the
launch team for the eventual Berlin church. This small group has
averaged 10-12 people, but it seems that many more would like to be part
of the church once it actually launches.
Getting excited
yet?
It is very exciting to be part of what God is doing here at Terrace
Shores! More and more people are getting excited about working toward a
church in Berlin. As a church, let’s look forward to what God will do in
Berlin, and let’s pray for Him to move in mighty ways there. Feel free
to visit our small group in Berlin, as well, which meets on the 2nd and
4th Wednesdays of each month at a location TBD (email Mark Finger at mfinger@charter.net for specific info).
