Ministries
WORSHIP SERVICES
Our morning service is at 11am, and usually lasts until 12:15 or 12:30. We enjoy fellowship and refreshments afterwards.
Our evening service is at 5:00 pm, and usually lasts for about an hour and fifteen minutes. We spend the first fifteen minutes singing hymns and psalms.
Before the morning service, we meet at 9:45 for Sunday School. There are age-appropriate classes for children as well as adults. For everyone, the goal is to grow in our understanding of Scripture, and our knowledge of the Lord Jesus.
PRAYER MEETING & CATECHISM
We meet every Wednesday evening for fellowship, prayer, and ministry. Every week, there is a meal at 6:00pm. At 7:15 pm the adults and older kids spend an hour studying a brief part of Scripture, and then praying for our congregation, our community, and God’s kingdom. During that time, younger kids (up to age 6) enjoy a catechism time, with simple instruction from God’s Word and fun activities.
BIBLE STUDIES
During the week, we study the Bible or other Christian books together. These are times of fellowship and conversation, as well as opportunities to dig deeper into Scripture. The men and the women both have their own specific studies.
YOUTH MINISTRY
The teens of the church meet monthly for food, fun, and Bible study. The purpose is to develop friendships in the church and to grow deeper in the Lord.
WOMEN’S MINISTRY
The women of First OPC Sunnyvale desire to bring glory to God and enjoy relationships with Him and with each other. These women strive to represent Jesus in their lives, through love and ministry to those in their sphere of influence. The women’s ministry seeks to challenge and encourage women to grow in their spiritual maturity and to provide specific opportunities for women to develop relationships with other women.
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
Each year, we welcome children ages 4-12 for a week of friends, games, crafts, snacks, songs, and lessons from the Bible. We know the kids love it, because many of them have been coming for years! The most important purpose of VBS is to show children and their families what it means to believe in Jesus and live for him.
