Mission Statement:

Empower and challenge young adults to take hold of their Christian walk.

But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. (1 Timothy 6:11-12)

Objectives:

• Establish a strong identity in Christ making His character our character
• Cultivate an atmosphere of God’s love
• Encourage the formation of godly relationships
• Grow and develop future leaders

Our Music Ministry, headed by Craig Anthony, consists of a large group of musicians who enjoy worshipping and praising God together.  The choir/orchestra has practice on Wednesday nights from 7:15-8:45 PM and Sunday mornings at 10:30 AM, and the orchestra meets Sunday mornings at 8:35 AM.

Anyone aged high school and up is welcome to join the choir or orchestra.  It doesn't matter to us if you haven't sung since high school or you have to blow the dust off of your instrument case.  We are always looking for new members?

If you have any questions, contact Craig Anthony using the "Contact Us" option below.

We have several different Adult Bible Fellowship classes to meet your individual needs.  Each class is open to whomever is interested in coming!

Current classes include:

• "Judges" led by Pastor Martin in the Fireside Room
• "The Book of Acts", led by Pastor Jim in the Youth Center

The Children's Sunday School classes meet in different buildings and are sorted by age group.  This is such an exciting ministry!  We spend time each week with the children teaching them the Word of God and helping them grow in their knowledge and faith. We teach stories and lessons that are applicable to their lives and their specific age groups. This is a growing ministry and we appreciate your support and prayer!

If your children fall into one of these age groups please consider bringing them to Sunday School. We have a lot of fun and would love to see new faces!

• Infants and toddlers meet in the Main Building, downstairs in the nursery/toddler rooms.
• K-6th grade meet downstairs in the Main Building.
• Junior and Senior High meet downstairs in the White Building (Youth Center).

Children's Church Time:

During the worship service, children in grades 1-4 are invited to take part in the Children's Worship Hour, downstairs in the Fellowship Hall.  They are dismissed at the Offertory. 

Volunteers Needed:

We are looking for a few volunteers to be substitutes. Our classes are growing and we need people who can come in to help when a teacher is absent, whether planned or on the spot. This does not include planning or teaching a lesson. It would simply be sitting in to help the children, take attendance, hand out papers, etc.
