Please note that our regular Come and See Bible study gathering on Tuesday, June 2 from 7:00–8:30 pm will be replaced this week by the Bella Vista Church Christian Education Townhall Info Night hosted together with the Canadian Christian Education Movement (CCEM).

As we have been seeking The Lord together through prayer, fasting, and His Word, we feel Him continually drawing our attention toward the responsibility of raising up the next generation in truth, faith, and discipleship. Through Joel, we see The Lord promising to pour out His Spirit upon all flesh — sons and daughters prophesying, young men seeing visions, and old men dreaming dreams. We also continue seeing through 2 Chronicles 7:14 the call for God’s people to humble themselves, pray, seek His face, and turn back to Him.

Throughout Scripture, teaching the next generation and making disciples has always been part of God’s heart for His people. Jesus commands us to “go and make disciples,” and we believe the church has an important responsibility not only to care for the present generation, but also to help prepare and disciple the generations that follow.

This evening will be an opportunity to learn about educational trends in Canada, hear from Greg Needham (CCEM), Pastor Kevin, and Pastor Timothy, ask questions, and explore ways churches, parents, educators, and believers can thoughtfully engage in Christian education moving forward.

This gathering is open not only to Bella Vista Church, but also to anyone from the wider community or other churches who feels The Lord stirring their heart in this area and would like to learn more, pray, ask questions, and participate in the conversation.

Coffee and tea will be served, and everyone is welcome to attend.

We are excited to be starting our third set of ESL (English as a Second Language) classes this June. It has been a blessing to see the relationships that have already been formed through this ministry and the opportunities it has created to serve and connect with people in our community.

Our desire continues to be to provide a welcoming and encouraging environment where people can grow in their English skills, build friendships, and experience the love of Christ through genuine community.

If you are interested in helping, volunteering, or learning more about the ESL ministry, please see us after the church service. We would love for you to be a part of what The Lord is continuing to do through this outreach.
