Wednesday Night at Belmont
Wednesday Night at Belmont (WNAB) seeks to model the early church by providing opportunities for fellowship, teaching, prayer, worship, and service. The vision for this format comes from Acts 2:42-47.
They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. Awe came upon everyone, because many wonders and signs were being done by the apostles. All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need (service). Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple (worship), they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having the goodwill of all the people. And day by day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.

Belmont Arts Council
About the Belmont Arts Council…
The Belmont Arts Council was established in early 2009 for the purpose of increasing the awareness, celebration, and involvement of art in the life of the church.
Since the beginning of The Church, believers have expressed their love for God and His creation through every art form, in both worship and secular settings. From cathedrals of old to modern worship centers, the works of devoted artisans have enhanced the beauty of buildings and the connection of followers to God.
It is the desire of the Council to facilitate the same at Belmont. One of our first efforts is the establishment of a permanent gallery space in the hall along the outside of the Chapel. There you will find works from Belmont members of various media, whether painting, photography, childrens’ works, tapestry, collages, and others. Guidelines for submission of works for consideration are covered elsewhere on this website.
