ChristCare Small Groups Ministry
"Circles of Care with Christ at the center"

Our purpose:

  • to seek to know God better through Biblical equipping, prayer and living out Christ's love for one another.
  • to know one another better by listening, expressing feelings, accepting others' feelings, relating assertively and accepting one another (and ourselves) unconditionally.
  • to equip group members to reach out with Christ's love to visitors, new group members and others.

A ChristCare small group for women, hosted by Luella Cleverly and Nancy Plass, meets on Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. in the conference room.

A ChristCare small group for men, hosted by Jim Tremper, meets on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in the conference room.

Please call the church office for information on new groups forming.

Arlington Church Purpose Statement

We will bless the Arlington/Poughkeepsie area with the liberating message of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We will serve the spiritually lost, the needy, those of every race and ethnicity, in the name of and for the glory of God. By our worship and teaching, we will inspire and encourage faith in Christ and faithful obedience to His commands. In our fellowship we will recognize and use our God given spiritual gifts so that every member will have a ministry.
