 Sunday School
Sunday School classes for age 2 through adult meet at 9:30AM. At present, with the exception of the Adult Class, we are using curriculum from Gospel Light Publishing. The focus is on Biblical Truth and how the students can apply it in their own lives. The material for the Adult classes typically consists of Bible Studies. The Sunday School Superintendent is Jennifer Willard.

Youth Group
We have an active Youth Group for grades 5 through 12. They meet Sunday evenings from 5:30 to 7:30PM. Meeting activities include devotions, business pertaining to upcoming events, games and refreshments. Other activities include skate nights, hayrides, occasional all - nighters, community service projects and more. Each year they participate in the "30 Hour Famine" where each participant gathers pledges for each hour they go without eating. The group stays together for the whole 30 hours, to offer support and distraction. Over the years, our young people have raised thousands of dollars for Food for the Hungry during the Famine. A Youth Leader who can be reached by email is John Stoughton

Women's Fellowship
All women of the church are members of the WF. They are mainly a service organization but also meet for fellowship several times during the year. Women's Fellowship provides meals for families after funerals and meals for those who are ill. In addition they hold several fund raisers every year, including Rummage Sales, occasional Christmas or Spring Bazaars and Bake Sales for other organizations in the church. Funds raised are used for mission projects, the Sunday School Camp Scholarship Fund, to equip the church kitchen and in support of other ministries of the church.

Bible Studies
Bible Studies are available throughout most of the year. Topics, locations and times are announced in the Newsletter and in the weekly church bulletin. Typical offerings include studies geared to men, women and a mixed couples/singles group. From time to time, studies on special topics are offered, such as finances, marriage, child rearing etc.

Vacation Bible School
We have hosted a Vacation Bible School Program here at the church for many years. About 5 years ago we decided to try something new and started an all-family school in the evening, rather than a program for children only, in the daytime. For one week in the summer, we gather each night for classes for every age and a short time of worship and music. The week ends with an evening that includes food, games and music.

Helping Hands Food Pantry
The Helping Hands Food Pantry serves Berkshire, Richford and Speedsville NY. Approximately 35 families are served each month and during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, over 100 families receive food baskets. The Pantry is supported by the generous donations of the church family as well as other community organizations and county food programs. Regular hours are Monday evenings from 6:30 to 7:30PM and Thursday afternoons from 2:00 to 4:00PM. Pantries for Senior Citizens are also held from time to time and these are publicized beforehand.
