Pastor’s Bible Study & Teaching Moments Ministry

The mission of Way Ministry's site is to transform lives through the Love of God, proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Power of the Holy Spirit by worshiping, serving and teaching. Accordingly, this ministry trains individuals in the knowledge of the Bible and gives biblical and theological responses to help people deal with daily stresses and issues of today's society.

Spiritual Mission Directives

To become knowledgeable of the Word of God and engage in regular devoted time to bible study, prayer and meditation; and to equip and strengthen families to meet daily challenges in this environment

ii] It is active, Isa.55:11. It is a communication which fulfills the purpose for which it is uttered.

iii] It is penetrating. The Word of God can probe the innermost motives of the real self and bring them out into the open, and then, with the self exposed to the light, prompt repentance and forgiveness.

Welcome

In the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I welcome you. We are grateful for the way God has opened up the windows of heaven and poured into our life overflowing abundance and evidences of faithfulness that have surpassed what God has done in our lives in times past.

We hope that you are blessed, and are excited to partner in worship. Under the direction of the Holy Ghost, we represent believers who are studying, learning, growing, serving, and further developing ourselves into effective Christian servants.

We are grateful for what God has already done and we are excited that God by the power at work within us is about to "accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever, Amen." If you are looking for a church home we extend ours to you, at Scotts Chapel AME, 511 Tulip Grove Rd., Hermitage TN, or here.
