Our evening services are always youth-oriented, and we hold monthly meetings to allow the pastor and church council to keep up with the rapidly changing lives of the younger members. An accurate membership survey will no doubt reveal two thousand or more members of our Church living within the congregation boundaries of

Permanent residents and homeowners make up a very small percentage of our membership, but they form the core of the congregation, serving the higher interests of the congregation with great strength, sacrifice, and dedication. Bronberg's strength is its ability to maintain an active congregational life among all the distractions of the city. Great praise is owed to our zealous and dedicated church council members who conduct the difficult task of meeting monthly with all ward members.
