1) Worship

Worship centers the life the community of faith on God. On the first Sunday of every month, and on special Christian holidays, the Italian and English-speaking communities come together for bi-lingual worship, blending languages, traditions, music. The first Sunday of each month, bi-lingual worship with Holy Communion begins at 11:00.

On the other Sundays of the month, the Italian and English communities worship separately in their respective languages: in Italian at 10:30, in English at 11:45.

After worship each Sunday, the community gathers in the Salone on the first floor for a time of fellowship and food. All are welcome - it's a great way to get to know one another.

2) Sunday School

The church takes seriously its commitment to raise young Christians! Children and young people of all ages - from toddlers (around age 3) to high school students preparing for Confirmazione - are all welcome to Sunday school, beginning at 10:45.

3) Adult Bible Study

Do you want to explore the Scriptures? Do you have questions or struggles with understanding God's Word? Do you want to grow in your understanding of applying the Gospel to your every-day life? Each Sunday morning, a group of persons studies the Bible together - at 10:00 on the first Sunday of the month, and at 10:30 on all other Sundays. Everyone is welcome.

4) Choir

The International Choir is made up of members from both the Italian and English-speaking communities at the church. Most music and instruction is in Italian. The choir practices on Sunday evenings at the church from 19:00 - 21:00, and sings on the first Sunday of the month during bi-lingual worship at 11:00. All are welcome!

5) Praise and Worship Team

The Praise and Worship Team ministers with music, mostly in English, by singing praise songs, music of faith from around the world, and traditional hymns. The group, made up of children, teenagers and adults, uses guitars, flute, drums and voice to praise God. The team often offers music during English-language worship.

6) Outreach

This congregation reaches out in Christian service through its participation in a food distribution ministry ("Banco Alimentare"), growing involvement with imprisoned persons, and ministries of visitation.
