About our ministries

VIRTUOUS WOMEN OF PRAISE

The Virtuous Women of Praise (VWP) is the women's auxiliary ministry of the church and is available to all women. VWP guides the women on becoming virtuous women of God and trains women and girls on how to remain holy and pure in today's world. The group hosts a monthly women-focused Bible Study that addresses the needs of women, plans different activities to build the sisterhood of the women, and fellowships on a regular basis to build Godly relationships with one another.

MEN'S MINISTRY

RPM guides men and boys in their Christian walk, as pertaining to men, with monthly men-focused Bible studies and fellowships so that they can bond. RPM also acts as a service organization to the church by mentoring the young men and boys, serving as armorbearers for the Pastor, and keeping up the appearance of the church.

GROWING IN JESUS YOUTH MINISTRY

The Growing in Jesus Youth Ministry is the teaching arm of the Youth Department. It is a youth Bible Study and activity ministry designed to encourage and strengthen children's faith and their relationship with God. Biblical principles and values are taught to the children and activities include: arts & crafts, activity pages, positive message videos, guest speakers, educational and fun field trips, and class projects.

The Youth Department also provides a once-a-month Christian youth night titled, TRIPLE-F. TRIPLE-F was a concept created by the Youth Department to provide our youth with regular fellowship opportunities with one another and other Christian youth. TRIPLE-F stands for “Fiery Furnace Fridays” in reference to Daniel 3, where the three Hebrew youth (Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego) refused to bow down and abandon their faith. Although they were thrown into a fiery furnace, God was with them, provided His divine protection for them and delivered them for holding true to their beliefs. Through TRIPLE-F, we wanted to create and support youth that will keep the Christian faith and won't bow down and be enticed by the world because they think it's more fun than being saved. TRIPLE-F is held on the 4th Friday of each month at Walker-Ford Community Center from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. and is open to youth from around the city.

Parents are always welcome, and are encouraged to attend and participate, in all Youth Department activities.

LOVE IN COVENANT MARRIAGE MINISTRY

Love in Covenant Marriage Fellowship is a Christian fellowship for married couples and pre-marital couples that provides Bible-based teachings on marriage and includes a forum for discussion of various marital topics. The mission of the Marriage Ministry is to build strong, healthy, loving marriages using the original blueprint for success (the Bible). Pastor and First Lady are the leaders of the Marriage Ministry, and the meetings are informal and relaxed so that everyone can feel comfortable participating. Because the meetings are so relaxed, they always provoke a joyous spirit of fun amongst the couples, even when discussing serious topics, and end with a heightened appreciation for the institution of marriage and couples looking forward to the next gathering. In addition to the Marriage Ministry meetings, pre-marital and marriage counseling sessions are available.

Additionally, the Marriage Ministry hosts an annual weekend-long Sweetheart Retreat and Conference as a getaway for the couples to refresh their marriages and be blessed with sound wisdom from other Godly couples in the faith. Please check our church calendar for dates and details.
