Ministries

Bryan United Pen­te­costal Church has var­i­ous min­istries that will be a tremen­dous bless­ing to you and your fam­ily. At the heart of each min­istry is a sin­cere focus upon pre­sent­ing rel­e­vant resources and oppor­tu­ni­ties for peo­ple to grow in their walk with God, wher­ever they are in that lofty pursuit.

Home Bible Studies

Home Bible stud­ies are a valu­able resource for peo­ple in their walk with God. From some­body who is just begin­ning to show an inter­est in God and the Bible, to the sea­soned believer who seeks a deeper under­stand­ing of the Scrip­ture, Home Bible Stud­ies have served as an invalu­able tool in equip­ping peo­ple with the knowl­edge to more fully serve the Lord.

The dura­tion and depth of Home Bible stud­ies range from either an intro­duc­tory one hour les­son to a sur­vey of the Old and New Tes­ta­ments that lasts sev­eral weeks. If you are inter­ested in a Bible study, please con­tact the church to set up a time. The time, place, and les­son are flex­i­ble, and will serve as a price­less expe­ri­ence in your life.

Some of the Bible stud­ies that have been taught by our church include: Search for Truth (#2), Explor­ing God’s Word, Into His Mar­velous Light, A Place Pre­pared for You, and Rightly Divid­ing the Word.

Prayer

Prayer is a vital spir­i­tual dis­ci­pline that each Chris­t­ian believer needs in order to stay in close com­mu­ni­ca­tion with our Lord. It is the goal of each New Tes­ta­ment believer to spend time with the Lord, daily. Not only is prayer a part of the Christian’s per­sonal walk with God, it is also a means for us to min­is­ter to the community.

The fact is that prayer works.  The effec­tual fer­vent prayer of a right­eous man availeth much (James 5:16, KJV). If you are sick, the prayer of faith saves the sick. If you are dis­cour­aged, prayer can uplift your spir­its. If you have a spe­cial need for God to inter­vene in your life, please con­tact us and allow us an oppor­tu­nity to pray with you over it. We sim­ply believe that God answers prayer!

Sun­day School

Sun­day school is a vital part of a believer’s Chris­t­ian edu­ca­tion — com­ing to a fuller knowl­edge of Jesus Christ and how to be a dis­ci­ple of His. Sun­day morn­ing ser­vices begin with forty-five min­utes to an hour of solid Bible teach­ing. The adults meet in the sanc­tu­ary, while chil­dren have a fun and excit­ing time in their classes.

Chil­dren Sun­day school classes are bro­ken down by grade/age-group. These classes are taught with excit­ing and engag­ing quar­terly themes, char­ac­ter role play, and games and prizes. If you have chil­dren in any of the fol­low­ing age groups, they will be excited to be a part of our safe, car­ing, and engag­ing Sun­day school classes.

Chil­dren Sun­day School Classes

• Tod­dlers (ages 1–3)
• Kindergarten/Beginner (ages 4–6)
• Pri­mary (ages 7–9)
• Pre-Teen (ages 10–14)

Youth Min­istry

Youth min­istry is such a vital part of a church, as well as a vital tool to help young peo­ple nav­i­gate one of the most dif­fi­cult times of their lives. For­tu­nately, our church has a group of young peo­ple who love God and are com­mit­ted to prayer and a life of ser­vice to God.

Our youth group meets many Fri­days through­out the year. Sev­eral events that our youth group par­tic­i­pate in include rel­e­vant youth ser­vices, spe­cial din­ners, games nights, and out-of-town trips such as Her­itage Youth Con­fer­ence (Col­orado Springs, CO) and Win­ter Her­itage (Hurst, TX). Keep your eye on the events cal­en­dar for spe­cific times and dates for youth min­istry activ­i­ties and services.

Music Min­istry

Wor­ship and praise invite God’s pres­ence into our church ser­vices — and our music min­istry pro­vides the basis and instru­ment upon which our praises arise. Lead by Sis­ter Doretha Jones, music min­istry con­sists of sev­eral lev­els of involve­ment: instru­men­tal­ists, praise singers, youth ensem­ble, adult choir, and children’s choir. These groups prac­tice at var­i­ous times through­out the week and before each ser­vice dur­ing which they sing.

Another value part of our Music Min­istry are group piano lessons. Each Wednes­day, var­i­ous groups meet in the church music room from early after­noon until 7:00 p.m.. Groups are based upon age and expe­ri­ence. See Sis­ter Jones for more information.
