Greetings!

My name is Jeff Banks and I’m the Senior Pastor at Monument Bible Church. God is at work here in the panhandle of Nebraska and we are excited to be part of what He is doing.  Monument is a close church family with a deep love for one another and for our community. Our church includes people from all walks of life and varying experiences. We have a diversity of ages from children, young adults, newly married, mid-lifers, empty nesters and senior saints! I hope you will come visit us and discover the love of God and the love of our church family as we carry out our mission of making dedicated followers of Jesus Christ who worship, grow, love and share all for the glory of God!

When you visit:
Our desire is that you feel welcome when you visit us on Sunday mornings. Come in your jeans or dress up if that is what you feel comfortable in. The important things is that you are able to connect and take your next step of faith. You can expect practical and in-depth teaching from the bible (we are passionate about communicating God's Word!) and a worship style that is a blend of contemporary worship music and a hymn or two.  Our service lasts about an hour and twenty minutes. Nursery and children's church are available for kids up to age 5. There are two primary entrances to our building, both on the east side. The doors at the north end are closest to the sanctuary. Our covered, south end entrance will lead  you into the gym.

View in your browser September 2019 Greetings Monument Bible Church Family! Monument Family, Greetings! September is here and we’re settling into new schedules and routines as the kids are back in school. Fall officially begins Monday, September 23, but we’re already enjoying some of the good things that come with this season—certainly one of those is the return of football season (unless you’re not a football fan)—and we can look forward to cooler temps, falling leaves, fire pits, and candy shaped like pumpkins mixed with nuts and pretzels. I’m so grateful that God is sovereign and Jesus is our hope in every season (1 Timothy 1:1). I’d like to take a moment to highlight a few things as we begin a new month of ministry together. New Sermon Series – I’m excited to kick off a new sermon series this month entitled “Habits of Holy Relationships.” Relationships are a vital part of our lives – they can be a source of encouragement or heartache – and our relationships are transformed by the gospel. This month we’re going to walk through Paul’s letter to Philemon to discover ten habits that will set apart the way we do relationships. I’m praying these habits will transform our relationships. Please read through Philemon three times as we prepare for this series which begins Sunday September 8th.   Baptism – Baptism is an important and special part of Jesus’ call to make disciples of all nations. I’m really excited to share that Carol Goranson is going to be baptized as a believer in Jesus and you’re invited to join in the celebration. Carol’s baptism will be on Sunday September 8th in the chapel at Heritage Estates in Gering at 2 p.m. Please join us for this special moment in Carol’s life and stay for some refreshments   Youth Ministry Update – God has been doing a good work in and through our students in the last year. At the annual meeting the membership affirmed a budget that included providing some compensation for the Hausman’s. Matt & Mary have recently decided to remain as volunteers instead of being paid staff. Please continue to pray for their ministry to our 7th-12 grade students. Please take a few minutes to read through this month’s Newsletter which highlights what’s happening at Monument. You’ll find various classes, small groups, events, and programs that kick off this month. Please take advantage of the opportunities to get connected with others and grow in your walk with Jesus. May our hearts trust and rejoice in God’s goodness and grace as we strive to develop dedicated followers of Jesus Christ who worship, grow, love, and share all for the glory of God. I love you and am praying for you – serve Him well! Pastor Jeff   At the end of August, we held our FALL KICK-OFF SUNDAY! It was a fun time for all, and even though it was a little hot, it didn't spoil our time.
