Our Services
Some information about what to expect from each service
Sunday Morning Worship Service - 11:00
Our Sunday morning service is usually our largest in attendance, and also the most convenient for families with children. This is in part because we offer a children's church during the service, where children under 12 can be taught a lesson designed for them. We also provide a nursery for babies under two years old, where workers can take care of them. We open this service with congregational singing and prayer. After this singing the children are dismissed to the children's church, for their lesson and a snack. We then will sing several songs as a congregation, while delivering announcements and other useful information between. Usually as one final preparation before the preaching, someone or a group from the church will come and sing a special song or two. A message is then delivered by our pastor from the Word of God. After this service it is quite common to have many stay for the next service, or stay until the next service spending time in fellowship with one another and enjoying a simple lunch. However, their is no obligation for someone to stay.
Sunday Midday Worship Service - 14:00
This service is an English only service, and is the only services where translation is not provided. This service however, is not an "English" version of the morning service. Our Sunday middy service obviously features an entirely different set of songs and message than that of the morning service. There is also a greater emphasis placed on prayer in this service, as we read our full prayer list and take a time to pray at the alter or in our seats, as a congregation. Occasionally we will have a more music emphasized service, where the congregation is allowed to chose the hymns we sing; as we go through the service. Like our Sunday morning service, every Sunday midday service concludes with a sermon from God's Word, delivered by our pastor. While the Sunday Morning service typically follows a monthly sermon series, in this service our pastor usually preaches through a book of the Bible verse by verse. We are currently studying the Book of Romans. There is no children's church on Sunday afternoon, the children stay with the congregation for the preaching. The nursery is still open for use by mothers and babies under two years old, but no workers are stationed there during this service.
Wednesday Evening Bible Study - 19:00
Our Wednesday Evening service is focused primarily on prayer and study of the Bible. We open with a prayer time, that last until 19:45, where we take turns praying for individual prayer requests. This service is intentionally kept to a strict time, to make the service more convenient for those who will need to be up early the next morning; After the prayer time, we sing a couple hymns, and then devote the rest of our time to an ex-positional study of a certain book of the Bible. During this time, we study our way through a particular book of the Bible, examining it passage by passage. If you want to learn the Bible verse by verse, this is the service for you. The message can potentially be translated, but is only done when necessary. For anyone with a difficulty in concentration or a need for a more linear study; this is usually the best service for you. This service has been an incredible help to all who attend it, especially because of the time spent taking turns praying for one another and the in depth study of the Bible.
The Belgian Baptist College of the Bible - Tuesdays at 19:00 on Zoom
We offer a free Bible college every Tuesday night at 19:00. Classes are currently conducted on Zoom, to make them accessible to even people outside of our church. To join these classes as a student you must enroll with in the first month of each semester beginning. To audit these classes without being a student you will need to contact our pastor.

Sunday School/Youth Ministry - The Fourth Sunday of Each Month at 10:00
On the fourth Sunday of every month we offer a youth group/Sunday school classes for teens and children from twelve to twenty years old. There our pastor teaches classes suited for their age group, and tries to answer their questions about the Bible. During this same time some of the men from our church take turns teaching a Sunday School classes for adults and children, in the church's auditorium. These programs are both from 10:00-10:45 to allow some time to fellowship and prepare ourselves before the morning service.
Special Events and Service
Usually every month there is some special event held for the people in our church. Theses include our annual Ladies Banquets and Youth Conferences, that are held with other churches of like faith. We also have a Vacation Bible School or Camp for children and teens every August. For the people of our church we have a Missions Conference every fall to raise support for missionaries around the world. We have special services attached to several holidays including: New Years, Resurrection Sunday, Mothers Day, Fathers Day, Belgian National Day, Christmas, and our church's anniversary on June 25th. We host fellowships for men and special banquets for couples as well each year. In addition to special event and service we usually have a communion service once every three or four months, as the Lord leads. For information about any of these events contact Pastor Haley.
