OUR MINISTRIES
Join in one or more of our exciting ministries!
Our ministries are the heart of our church and reach all persons, from young to older. Take a look at these available ministries and plan to join us for these small group opportunities to connect with other believers.
Men of Restoration
The Restoration & Praise Men’s Ministry, “Men of Restoration,” is open to all men and provides Christian leadership and spiritual guidance through monthly male-focused, Men's Ministry Bible studies, prayer groups, and fellowships.
The Men's Ministry also acts as a service organization to the church by mentoring the young men, teaching life skills, serving as armor bearers for the Pastor, and maintaining our church facilities and grounds.
Virtuous Women of Praise
The Virtuous Women of Praise (VWP) is the women’s auxiliary ministry of the church and is open to all women, whether members or friends of the ministry. VWP provides guidance on being virtuous women of God and provides Biblical training on how to remain holy in today’s world. The group hosts a monthly women-focused Bible Study that addresses the needs of women and girls, plans different quarterly activities (dinners, group activities, retreats, etc.) to build the sisterhood of women, and fellowships on a regular basis to build Godly relationships with one another.
Generation Next Youth Ministry
The Generation Next Youth Ministry is the anchor of the Youth Department. It is a youth Bible Study and activity ministry designed to encourage and strengthen our young people’s faith in Jesus Christ and build their relationship with God. Biblical principles and values are taught and activities include: educational life messages, videos, arts & crafts, and educational and fun field trips. Parents are always welcome and encouraged to participate with their child(ren) in all Youth Department activities. In addition to Youth Ministry, the Youth Department and Sunday School Department also hosts a dynamic weekly Sunday School every Sunday at 9:45 a.m.
The Mother Janice B. Stanley Food Bank
The Mother Janice B. Stanley Food Bank is an outreach arm of the church that provides food assistance to those in the community with dignity and compassion. With the increasing demand for food assistance and rising prices affecting household budgets, the food bank is on the front lines of support to help to meet the food needs of families and individuals and provide healthy meals to anyone in need. We partner with Farm Share of the Big Bend and our local community to give away free food once a month on the second Saturday of each month. We desire to help meet the growing need for food assistance more than ever and plan to expand services in the near future.
The food bank is named after Mother Janice B. Stanley who was instrumental in its establishment.
Outreach and Hospitality
Outreach and serving others through genuine hospitality is our passion and genuinely at the heart of this ministry. Annually our church plans several dedicated outreach opportunities through Pop-up Sunday Schools and teaching ministries in the community which allows us to do spiritual evangelism and reach people outside of our four walls to share the Good News. We also conduct quarterly Community Outreach which allows us share the love of Christ in practical ways by meeting needs in the community (free dinners, clothing drives, back to school supply giveaways, nursing home visits, personal care supplies for the homeless, etc.), thereby showing the love of Christ in ways all can understand. For outreach dates, please feel free to visit our Church Calendar on the website and contact the church to find ways you can assist.
Love in Covenant Marriage Ministry
The 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.
