Twin Lakes Church 50 Years In Aptos
Twin Lakes Church believes in…
THE LIVING WORD–God’s only revelation to man of His
eternal purposes. (Hebrews 4:12)
THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST–God’s only provision for cleansing from sin. (I Peter 1:19)
THE BLESSED HOPE–God’s only promise for a world of
peace and righteousness. (Titus 2:13)
To all who mourn and need comfort; to all who are weary and need rest; to all who are friendless and need friendship; to all who are lonely and want companionship; to all who sin and need a Saviour; and to whosoever will,–this church opens wide its doors and in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ says: “WELCOME.”
On September 17, 1973, Twin Lakes held the Dedication Service of its new Aptos church campus.
In the fifty years since, over 3,000 people have been baptized. Over 200 have gone into full-time ministry. Over 50,000 children have heard the gospel at church, school, or camp. Over 13 million meals have been provided through our food drives. With each new building here, a facility was also built on the mission field, including churches, orphanages, schools, and clinics. To God be the glory!

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
- Please read Psalm 115:1. How did the 50th Anniversary Celebration encourage you? How have you seen God’s faithfulness in your life in the last month?
- Please read Galatians 5:13. How do you struggle with abusing the freedom you have in Christ? How do you struggle to believe it? Why do you think Paul says that freedom is best used in service of others?
- Please read Ephesians 4:2-3. What do these verses have to say about living in peace? When do you struggle most to live in peace with others? What would living in peace look like for you this week?
- Please read 2 Peter 1:3. What difference does it make when you try to live a godly life in your strength versus living in God’s strength? How would you like to grow in godliness? What would it look like to live in God’s strength in that area?
