OUR BELIEFS
  • We believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth. We believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick (living) and the dead.
  • We believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.
  • We believe that by grace we are saved through faith. It is not of ourselves, it is a gift of God. We believe that faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.
  • We believe the Old and New Testaments to be the infallible Word of God; inerrant as originally given, verbally inspired by God, the complete and sufficient revelation of His will for salvation and conduct.
  • We believe in the Great Commission; to preach repentance and the forgiveness of sins to the uttermost parts of the earth; to proclaim the gospel everywhere.
MINISTRY GROUPS
 
 
 
 
    ECHOES OF MERCY
Each Sunday morning a program named Echoes of Mercy broadcasts a sermon on a number of radio stations throughout the country. The message is given by Pastor Bruce Estola (Ironwood, Michigan) or from Pastor Gary Bertram (New Ipswich, NH). You can find this station locally at WEIM 1280 at 7:30 am. 
 
 
 
 
 
WOMEN’S
MINISTRY
We offer two Women’s Bible Studies at Ashburnham. Tuesday mornings at 9:30 am led by Judy Traffie and Carolyn Kinnunen. And Tuesday evenings at 6:30pm led by Amanda Kinnunen and Ashley Ketola. It is our hearts that women in our community would know their Savior personally. That they would know how loved they are, that God has created them with purpose, talents, and a role in the Kingdom of God.
 
 
 
 
YOUNG ADULTS
Our youth is such an integral part of our church family. We try to foster relationships, old to young. Our Confirmation Class takes a yearly trip to Guatemala to serve the people there. We hope that this experience broadens their horizons and awakens in their hearts the need of the church world-wide. We have other youth events throughout the year that will be posted on our website.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
MARRIED COUPLES
Our married couples are so important to us, knowing that God created and ordained marriage. We have yearly marriage seminars and other events for our married congregants. We believe with God as the center, your marriage can thrive, and impact your children and community for the better.
 
 
 
 
 
MEN’S FELLOWSHIP
Our Men’s Fellowship Group takes place on Saturday mornings at Pastor Colin’s home. It’s a time of fellowship, worship, prayer and accountability for our men. If you want to connect with other Godly men contact Pastor Colin Kinnunen for more information.
 
 
 
 
Bible Study
Our Men and Women’s Bible Study is led by Pastor Colin Kinnunen. Colin has faithfully led our church on the basis of The Word of God and his acceptance and love for all. It meets on Wednesday nights at 7pm at our church. All are welcome to attend and grow in grace and the knowledge of Jesus Christ our Lord.
