We have two opportunities during the month: the 1st Wednesday at 12:00 noon and the 3rd Thursday at 7:00 p.m.
Saturday Men's Bible Study
Every Saturday morning at 7:30 a.m., a small group of men have gathered at Corpus Christi for an hour of coffee and conversation. After brewing coffee and chit chat, we'll read a short bible passage and the commentary. Although a discussion question comes with the commentary, the discussion that follows is spontaneous and free-wheeling- not led by anyone in particular. Men's Bible Study has met virtually every week since 1985.

Servants of the Lord Prayer Group is a charismatic prayer community that serves God's people and shares his love by coordinating outreach ministries, nursing home visits, prayer vigils, and the annual prayer breakfast.
