Most churches focus on social issues and meeting the personal concerns, likes, and entertainment of the masses. The Kettering Church does not follow these trends. The work of the church is defined clearly within the word of God in Ephesians 4:11-12. The work of the church is to equip each member for their work of service.

The Kettering church focuses upon the spiritual development of each member so that they may live a life of service to others. The Lord Jesus stated plainly that social problems will always exist. It is not the mission of the church to solve social problems; it is its mission to develop each individual in becoming a servant of God so that they may affect the world around them. Therefore, our ministry is the spiritual education and development of each individual through bible study, prayer, worship and fellowship. The apostles appealed to the spiritual message of the gospel of Jesus. The Kettering Church makes every attempt to consistently follow that message and the examples left to us within the word of God. If you are interested in developing as a Christian and knowing God's word, the Kettering church will be a refreshing change for you.

Some of these ministries include:

Our Young People

We are dedicated to teaching our young people God'ss love starting from their youth (Eccl 12:1). We have instruction that is geared towards their age and instruction that is based on God's word.

Our Elderly

We recognize the needs of our older members. We realize it is hard to get out during winter; therefore, we adjust our fall and winter hours to meet their needs for Wednesday bible study. We visit our older members to ensure they are not missed and to take care of any special requests. We appreciate their wisdom and experience which is reflected in their involvement and contributions to the Lord's work at Kettering.

Our Widows

We have an awesome responsibility to serve several widows within our congregation. We often arrange time with our young people to visit them and perform various services from ranking leaves, to cleaning up, house repairs, and just stopping by to say hello.

Our Spiritual Development

We are devoted to each member's knowledge and instruction in the Lord. We recognize the world is full of materialism (what drives people to satisfy oneself by having more and now), that our children are bombarded with humanism (that the only thing that matters is self and fulfilling one's desires above others), and that many live without purpose in life (looking for answers in astrology, psychics, or cards to provide answers). But our focus is on serving God now so we can live eternally with Him after we die (for we know after death comes the judgment and all must give an account to God for what we've done, good or bad).

Congregational Prayer

We often devote Sunday evening worship services solely to praising God and encouraging our members in prayer. We dedicate time to pray for specific needs of the membership, for our country's leadership, our families, our sick and shut-in members, and for general courage to remain strong in a dying society. We see God's handy work alive within our congregation and we give God thanks for His blessings and answered prayers.
