"As I walked through the wilderness of this world, I lighted on a certain place where was a den, and laid me down in that place to sleep; and as I slept, I dreamed a dream."

So begins one of the most widely read books in the world: Pilgrim's Progress.  John Bunyan's classic is said to be the most popular piece of literature behind the Bible.  And rightfully so.  This work contains rich truths; all of which are encompassed in the most intriguing story line.

For the next several months Providence's Sunday night fellowship group will be studying this great Christian classic.  If you would like to join us, we welcome your participation.  

Each night we will read a short section and then discuss it together to tease out the Biblical truths it contains.  Books are provided.

Studies are held at 6:30 pm each Sunday at Pastor Matt's house [1010 Chestnut St.]  For more information, contact Matt.

We continue to hear the wise marital counsel of Richard Baxter in our latest newsletter.  Read about how to improve your relationship here.

Jesus took 12 young men under his wing for three years and trained them in the best seminary that ever existed.  In doing so he set a pattern for what a real discipleship program should look like.

We are seeking to replicate this with our young men.  Each Friday a group of young men have committed to studying God's word with Pastor Matt.  We meet from 1:15 - 2:30 in Ashland to read, discuss, and apply what God teaches in the book of Judges.

Prior to our study some of the gang are helping with our street evangelism which runs from 11-1.  They are being "doers of the Word and not hearers only."

If you or your boys (ages 15-19) want to join in, drop us an email.  Matt is also open to starting a group in Mansfield.  So let us know if you'd like to participate in there.
