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.
Sunday Mornings
We desire to live a life of worship, both inside and outside the walls of the church. Together, we worship God on Sunday Mornings through preaching, teaching, singing, praying and celebrating baptism and communion. As individuals, we strive to glorify God as we live out our lives at home, work, church and the world. rify God as we live out our lives at home, work, church and the world.


A Church Family

​As a growing church, we are committed to keeping a sense of connection and family in order that we may know one another's needs and be able to encourage one another in the faith.  Check our our events calendar or read our monthly "Monument Messenger" to see what's coming up. You are welcome anytime!

Kids

​We love kids! At Monument, we have teachers and leaders who want to help kids discover and embrace a growing relationship with Christ. Through Children's Bible Fellowship, AWANA and special events, your child will be nurtured along in their faith.

Students

IGNITE Youth is Monument's youth program for students 7th-12th grade. The IGNITE leadership team loves students and desires to see them flourish in their faith. You will find an emphasis on God's word, as well as relationship building and a ton of fun!

​Adults

We want to encourage adults to worship, grow, love and share, all for the glory of God! Classes and small groups, as well as ministries for men and women are offered on a regular basis. We invite you to take that next step and join us!

Reaching Out

Partnering with missions within our community and beyond, is an important part of ministry at Monument. We are committed to being a body of believers who are engaged with the missionaries we send out and support in order that we might be part of reaching a world that desperately needs Jesus.

Monument Family,
 
Greetings!

Dana and I recently spent a day basking in the summer heat and refreshing water at Lake Minatare. I don’t know what it is about floating on an inflatable raft in a lake or ocean, but over the years it’s been the place where I’m drawn into the Lord’s presence and where my soul experiences a special sabbath rest.

Our recent outing reminded me of Jesus’ invitation to the apostles--“Come with me privately to an isolated place and rest a while” (Mark 6:31)--Jesus acknowledged the need for us to get away for some much needed rest that will refresh us body and soul. We’ve been living in an unprecedented time that is emotionally, physically, and spiritually exhausting. Rest is part of God’s created order and I hope you’ll enjoy an ongoing refreshment & rest of His presence during this summer season even if that “place” is a quiet corner of your house, a walking path, pasture, vacation, backyard, or floating in a lake.

Please take a few minutes to read this month’s newsletter that contains some exciting news and updates. We’re in the process of relaunching several of our ministries as we prepare for the fall. We will continue to worship in the gym this month but look forward to returning to the sanctuary as soon as possible. Thanks again for your prayers, patience, and sacrificial giving as we’ve navigated life together during a global pandemic.

We love and miss those of you who haven’t returned to public worship each week but are so glad you’re able to worship with us online. The Lord has been so faithful and gracious. His mercies are new every morning, and we are sustained by His presence and the hope of His return to restore all things. Let’s continue to hold fast to Him, love deeply, and point others to the hope that is in Him. We have one mission as a church—to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28)—I pray we’ll be found faithful in the task of developing dedicated followers of Jesus Christ who worship, grow, love, and share all for the glory of God. I love you…Serve Him well!
