Choga
Choga (Chair Yoga) is offered two times a week for anyone interested in maintaining wellness. It is great for older adults, people with certain health conditions, and those who work at a desk all day.
Bible Studies
Several times a year, The Church on the Bayou hosts several opportunities for Bible study open to everyone. In the early Spring, a Lenten study prepares our hearts for the miracle of the Resurrection, and in the Fall, the Chosen study gives us insight into Jesus’ ministry and those who choose to follow him
Missions
We are involved in many local, national and global missions to help those in need.
Local Missions:
Shepherd Center
The Shepherd Center of Tarpon Springs feeds the hungry, clothes the poor and empowers the needy to seek independence. The Shepherd Center is supported by a number of churches and organizations in Tarpon Springs. Several times a month, on “Salad Saturdays” our volunteers wash, chop and prepare fresh vegetables in our church kitchen for the meals distributed by The Shepherd Center. In addition, we collect non-perishable food throughout the year, and on special fellowship dates like “Souper Sunday” which are sent to The Shepherd Center for inclusion in their food bank distributions. www.tscenter.org
Tarpon Springs Elementary School
Tarpon Springs Elementary School, attended by many children in our community from low-income families, is the beneficiary of our annual school supplies collection. Additionally, in the month of May, the church community collects donations of new socks and underwear. https://www.pcsb.org/tarpon-es
