Purpose

To supply the Church reading material that will encourage spiritual growth for adults and children and in keeping with Ten Mile Church's Statement of Faith.

To aid teachers and leaders to plan with appropriate books, lessons, programs, and devotional talks.

To furnish books for children to read and books to read to children that will help build Christian character.

To provide reading for "book therapy" for members with special problems or needs.

The ultimate long-range goal of the library will be to furnish our workers with books or material to help them in any phase of church activities.

The library will consider itself as a key support to all church activities. And try to keep books that meet the needs of these activities.
