Genuine Community | Spiritual Growth | Developing Servant Leaders
What is a Life Group?
Real life change rarely occurs in
isolation. That is why at Beltway
Park you hear a lot about
getting together in small groups.
Gathering all over Abilene and
the Big Country, people from
every stage of life meet in homes
to follow Jesus more closely. You
might not think that engaging
truth or ministering to one
another could be so informal -
yet be so intensely rewarding.
Simple. Spiritual. Encouraging.
Life Transforming.
To learn more about our Life
Group ministry, search online
at www.beltway.org/connect/
lifegroups, or call one of our Life
Group pastors.
What do Life Groups do
during the SUMMER?
No formal lessons or agendas
– just rest and relationships
(Summer R&R). Over the
summer months, Life Groups
are encouraged to meet at least
fi ve times to simply enjoy one Jan Russell
another and to savor the richness
of Biblical fellowship. It is a great
time to strengthen and deepen
connections while having fun in
a laid-back environment.
How do I get connected with
a Life Group?
Is God nudging you to get
connected with other believers?
To fi nd a small group that shares
and encourages you in your
spiritual journey? Then you need
to come to GroupLink this fall.
GroupLink is a specifi c, two
hour experience where you can
meet and visit with many of our
group leaders and connect to a
group that is a good fi t for you.
Children’s Ministry is provided
by reservation during GroupLink.
For more information, go to www.
beltway.org/connect/lifegroups/
grouplink.
Our next GroupLink event is
scheduled for September 18 at
6:30pm.

 worship
Offering our lives as an act of worship...
MUSIC
It is our belief that worship is
much more than what takes
place on weekend services while
we sing; it can happen anywhere
at anytime. Worship Ministry
provides opportunities for you
to use and develop some of the
ways you can express worth
to God. We want to help you
and others experience God and
develop a life of worship.
Choir rehearsal
Wednesday / 6:00 - 7:30pm

Band? Contact us!

MEDIA
Media is a powerful tool for
communication. All of our
corporate meeting rooms are
equipped with sound, lights, and
video capabilities. This requires
people who love to work behind
the scenes and know the value of
bringing all the technical pieces
together so that the congregation
has the best opportunity to
clearly hear the gospel and be
led to worship God.
If you are interested in
serving on our Media Teams
including camera crew, stage
crew, lyric presentation and
sound engineers, contact the
A/V office.

 Freedom

Freedom in Christ
Sundays @ 10:50am / Begins June 5

This class is designed as an in-depth study of the war we face as

believers in Christ. “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand
firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke
of slavery.” (Gal. 5:1) Christ promises His children that knowing
the truth will set us free. Do you struggle to identify and break free
from condemning thoughts, personal conflicts, behaviors and habits
that hold you captive? Are you eager to learn God’s way of fighting
the battles and struggles you face? Then this class is for you, we will
search the Word of God to learn what every believer in Christ needs
to know about spiritual warfare, freedom, our true identity, God and
the invisible battle. 

Classes include:

• Introduction/Kingdom
• Father Heart of God
• Cross
• True Identity/Slave/Son
• Hearing God
• Ungodly Beliefs
• Power of Words
• Forgiveness
• Bitterroot Judgments
• Weapons We Fight With

Healing Prayer
June 21, July 21 & August 23 @ 7:00pm
Join us as we experience and witness the miraculous move of God
in the area of healing. The Healing Team would like to extend an
invitation to you or anyone you know who has a desire and need for
healing. We have a group of people that are called, gifted and desire
to serve through prayer and intercession. We would love to have the
opportunity to join you in your journey to seek God’s healing in your
life.

Celebrate Recovery
Thursdays / 7:00 – 9:30pm
The purpose of Beltway Park’s “Celebrate Recovery” is to fellowship
and celebrate God’s healing power in our lives through the 12 Steps
and 8 Recovery Principles. This allows us to “be changed”  and we
open the door by sharing our experiences, strengths and hopes with
one another.  In addition, we become willing to accept God’s grace
in solving life’s problems. By working and applying these biblical
principles, we begin to grow spiritually and we become free from
our addictive, compulsive, and dysfunctional behaviors. This freedom
creates peace, serenity, joy, and most importantly, a strong personal
relationship with God and others.  As we progress through the program
we discover our personal, loving and forgiving Higher Power - Jesus
Christ.  Children’s Ministry is available.
