New Internet Church Services
Christian Ministry Introduces New Internet Church Services to the Public.
FreshStart Fellowship launches weekly online church services available to those who are unable to attend a local church.
May 19, 2010 – FreshStart Fellowship, a non-profit prison ministry, now offers internet church services on Sundays. The purpose of these services are not to keep a person from going to a local church, but to provide a weekly service in the comfort of one’s home for those that may feel uncomfortable in a formal church environment or are otherwise not able to attend their local church home. FreshStart Fellowship focuses specifically on helping prison wives of the incarcerated and was inspired to launch these services when learning how many prison wives have felt unwelcome or embarrassed when attending their traditional church service.
The goal of these services is to ease their listeners back into the habit of attending a weekly church service (???) and inspire them to continually grow their faith. Pastor Bill Martin, founder of FreshStart Fellowship, explains why these services exist: “Our Internet Church Services are designed for those who may not have a local church home, those who are not able to make it to their regular church and for those who may not feel comfortable attending a regular church service at this time.” The format of these services is not unlike a regular church service. You can expect approximately twenty-five minutes of Praise and Worship Music, a brief introduction and time of offering, a fifteen to twenty minute short, inspirational message from Pastor Bill and a closing salvation invitation. The total length of the services lasts about one hour. Pastor Bill Martin speaks candidly about their services: “At our Internet Church Service, you don’t have to sneak in and sit on the back row hoping nobody will notice you.”
Listeners may access their Internet Church Services on their website at www.FreshStartFellowship.com on Sundays at 9am & 5pm (PST), 11am & 7pm (CST) or 12pm & 8pm (EST). FreshStart Fellowship’s focus is not only to provide hope and encouragement to the families of prisoners, but to help anyone who is struggling and in need or is passing through a difficult situation in their life. FreshStart also offers free correspondence Bible study programs through one of their partners for prisoners. They also provide a children-specific program to children of the incarcerated featuring free Bible lessons to kids in a comic book format.
Additionally, FreshStart Fellowship plans to open several Helps Centers across the United States that will provide many programs to those who need encouragement and assistance. With the help of supporters and volunteers, FreshStart will be able to continue to move forward with the launch of their Helps Center Outreaches.
