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 thing 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.

December 2019 Greetings Monument Family! The Christmas season has officially arrived—the decorations are going up, parties are being  planned, Christmas lists are being made, and cards are being dropped in the mail—and in the midst of it all there will be sickness, loneliness, surgeries, marital strife, stress, and the sadness of lost loved ones who are no longer here to celebrate Christmas. All the while this season has been described as “the most wonderful time of the year.” Have you stopped to think about what makes this holiday season so wonderful? Is it the traditions you love? Is it time spent with family? Is it the baking? Is it the gifts you receive? Is it the nostalgic memories of Christmas’ past?  I would say “yes” wholeheartedly to all of the above, and so much more, but none more “wonderful” than the absolute wonder of Jesus’s birth—Immanuel (God with us)—for can we truly grasp the truth of Jesus becoming flesh to come and save us? It’s truly amazing, and so very wonderful! I’m looking forward to our celebration of Jesus’ birth this month as a church family. ADVENT Sermon Series: Each Sunday morning in December we’ll open up God’s Word to consider the hope, peace, joy, and love connected to Jesus’ birth. Kids Christmas Program: On Sunday December 15th the children’s ministry will be presenting a special Christmas program during the worship service.  Candlelight Service: Our “Candlelight & Carols” Christmas service will be on Monday December 23rd at 7 p.m. Don’t miss this special time set aside to celebrate Jesus’ birth together as a church family. Missionary Christmas Tree: Let’s bless our missionaries this holiday season. Each ornament on the Missionary Tree (located in the lobby) has the name and address of one of our missionary families, please take an ornament and send them a special Christmas gift this year. May our hearts be filled with “wonder” and “worship” this month as we celebrate anew the birth of Jesus, our Savior, and coming King. Like the Magi long ago, may our lives be dedicated to worshipping Him all the days of our lives. I pray that we’ll be drawn closer to the Lord and to one another this Christmas season. I love you – Serve Him well! In Christ, Pastor Jeff   Mark your calendar for a special Christmas Candlelight Service on Monday, December 23rd at 7:00 p.m. Invite your family, neighbors, and friends to come be a part of our celebration of Jesus' birth!
