Ministries for you and your family

Children’s

We are excited to offer you several areas where your children can grow in Christ and learn about the exemplary life Jesus portrayed. Our children’s program volunteers are dedicated to enriching your child’s life with the love of Christ. We offer children’s church for toddler’s, preschool and young elementary aged children. We also are a part of the nationally acquired AWANA program every Sunday evening in August through the end of May. We look forward to meeting you and your children.

Children’s Drama Class

The Children’s Drama Class is composed of Kindergarten – 6th grade held on Wednesday nights from 7:00-8:00 pm. We learn to worship God through music and drama, and hear the Bible truths in an engaging and fun way through storytelling. We apply the Bible lessons to the children’s everyday lives.

Senior’s

If you are over the age of 55 and love to interact with people of your own age then our senior’s ministry is where you need to be. We love to take day trips, have lunch at your favorite local restaurant and get together for special occasions. Some of our day trips include trips to pick apples in the mountains every Fall. So come on and join us and let’s celebrate life together.

Youth

We as youth leaders try to teach our students spiritual principls and how to apply them to everyday life.

We meet every Wednesday night starting at 6:00 p.m. with a light dinner and then join in worship at 6:30 p.m. for worship and praise, as well as teaching of the scripture. Our mission is to go out of the four walls of the church carrying the message of God to the community.

We as youth leaders try to teach our students spiritual principls and how to apply them to everyday life.

 

Matthew 5:16 says, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."

Music

Music is an expression of our love for God and helps us to vocalize what we may not always be able to say. We are a church that incorporates both traditional and contemporary music styles. If you play an instrument or sing you can tap into our band or our Praise & Worship team. Your children can sing in our Children’s Drama/Music Class which meets each Wednesday evening for ages K-5th grade. Come Worship our Almighty God with us and lift your hands in praise.

Feed the 5,000

Our church has a compassion for the people of our community and the surrounding area. In 2008, God laid on the heart of our pastor to reach families in need. Each year we raise money and pack 1,000 boxes of food to be distributed to needy families in our area. Each box feeds a family of five. You can help by joining others in our church as they load and unload trucks of food or pack the boxes with God’s love. If God has given you a compassionate heart and a willingness to serve, please contact us so that we can get you involved in this wonderful ministry.

Motorcycle Ministry

We love motorcycles and those who ride them. Our motorcycle ministry reaches out to those who would not typically come into a church on their own.
