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 satellites 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).
