The Seekers

Come and discover something new with the Seekers.  This fellowship explores God’s Word through a variety of short studies as we seek after Him.  Open to anyone, this group continually brings something new to your walk with the Lord. 

 The Seekers meet Sunday mornings at 9:00 AM in room 110. 

Primary Facilitator / Teacher: Bob Page

ABF Leader: Dan Kirschner

Current Study: "Dont Give The Enemy A Seat At Your Table" - Louie Giglio (on Right Now Media)

Annual One Desire Prayer & Fast

Each January, we encourage the entire Word of Life family to embark on a time of Prayer and Fasting. 

Each year has a theme that builds off the prayer, "“O Lord, give us ONE DESIRE: Make our hearts beat as one with yours..."

For 2026, the theme is "Expand Our Desire" and our key verse is Psalm 73:25 - "Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth I desire besides you.”"

This year’s prayer and fast will be begin with a 3 week season of preparation, culminating in a concentrated week of corporate prayer, fasting and worship.
- Season of Preparation -January 4-24, 2026
- ONE Desire Prayer & Fasting Week - January 25-31, 2026
 
We do plan to have opportunities for people to gather in small groups, called Gathering Points. Stay tuned for more information.
You can find our inital information here.

Kidville (Nursery - Kindergarten)

We have special opportunities for our youngest family members to learn and grow both at the 9:00 AM hour and the 10:45 AM service time.  Our infant and toddler nursery is open to children under 2 years of age.  We also offer age appropriate classes for children age 2 to Kindergarten that lay a foundation of faith through caring teachers, a Biblical focus, and crafts that help the kids take home what they learn.

Men's Bible Study

Men, join us each Wednesday morning at 7:45 AM in the Fellowship Hall for coffee and doughnuts, and more importantly, a time of group study in God’s Word. We are focusing on drawing out the meaning of the Scriptures and applying them to our lives.

Current Study:  1 Peter

WOL Disc Golf Course

What started as a pop-up course for a church event is now open to the public as an outreach of Word of Life Baptist Church to our community.

The course is closed on Sunday mornings and/or when funerals are taking place.

Parking in the lower lot is preferred - the 1st tee is up the stairs by the front entrance / mailbox.

Course maps are available near the first tee pad or available here: 

Loaner disc sets are available just inside the first set of doors at the main entrance to the church, inside a yellow box.

 

Some Course Notes:

- We have a mixture of tee pads marked with orange or yellow stakes as the front of the "tee pad." Some are existing concrete or asphalt, others are outdoor carpet-covered rubber mats.

- We have garbage bins available by the bend on #2, after # 4(13), 7 (16) and # 9 (18) on the course, so please help us care for the church property.

Mando's (we hope to add signs eventually): Hole 3 - right of the 1st tree Hole 9 - left of the group of 4 trees. If you miss the mando, take your penalty stroke and go the the marked drop zone to the left of the two other birch trees (it should make sense when you're there).

Recommended "Hazard": All asphalt (Hazard penalty stroke, but play from where the disc lies). When leagues play, this rule is followed.

Have fun out there!

Hospital Singing Ministry

Most weeks, a small, but friendly group of people meets up, after the morning service, in the lobby of MidMichigan Medical Center of Alpena. They gather some hymnals and sing some hymns and/or choruses at the ends of the hallways on multiple floors. A few of the patients/families may make requests or even join in as we sing two or three hymns in each spot. It may remind you of Christmas caroling, but with regular hymns. Expect to spend around an hour at the hospital, depending on how much visiting (with the team and/or patients) you happen to do.

Does that sound like something you would like to do or try? Contact the church office for more information.
