How we share our gifts
The congregation cares about the community where we are located and have made it a priority to reach out to our neighbors. We hope to expand our territory beyond the boundaries of Bloomsbury to include the nearby neighborhoods of Greenwich Twp.
We sponsor both local and foreign missions, with a sister church in Honduras. In addition, we have an active Walk to Emmaus Community, small groups, teen and young adult ministry, and a music program with both adult and children's choir.
