Library

The library provides adults and children with books and audio visual materials that stress Christian themes, topics, interests and influences. Adult, teen and children's fiction comprise the majority of the hundreds of books in the library. Other categories include biography, Christian and family living, devotional, inspirational, Bible and doctrine, and reference.

The library conducts two 10 week reading contests each year to encourage the congregation members to read.

Readers are encouraged to share books and audio visual materials with family and friends. In this way the library serves the congregation and reaches out to others.
