Ministry Opportunities

Saturday Night service.  These services provide several great, unique opportunities.

  1. They provide a great opportunity for those teaching during the Sunday, 10:30 am service to be actively involved in the worship service.  
  2. They provide an environment for you to meet with a smaller group of people for the service.  There seem to be new people coming each week.
  3. They provide an opportunity to serve with children 4 years old and under.  We have not had many families with children show up but we want to be able to provide childcare for younger children if needed.   
Sunday morning teaching
Because of the fluctuating numbers and the growing number of new, young families coming, it is our prayer that there will always be a need for more disciple makers.  Think about how you can help during the 9:00 am or 10:30 am service times.  
Sunday morning security
We want and need to provide a secure environment for our children and teachers.  To do this we need individuals to serve as security at the entrance to the children's ministry wing.  Depending on the number of people willing to do this, it could once every month or two.  The main responsible is monitoring the Gathering Area entrance to make sure no one unauthorized people wander into the children's wing during the service.  
Single and Parenting
We just finished this 13 week class and are planning to offer it again soon.  This is a great class combining real life single parent testimonies with solid Biblical counseling principles from people like Steve Viars, Paul Tripp, David Powlison and Elyse Fitzpatrick.  Keep your eyes open for more information on when this is being offered.  It provides a great opportunity to invite single parents to our church.
UPWARD
This is our 2nd year of hosting UPWARD.  We have 160 children registered to play this year.  That is 20 more than we had last year.  The parents of 45 of these children left the church affiliation line empty on their registration form.  This exciting ministry provides a great opportunity to provide a service to our community while having the opportunity to share the Good News of the salvation we have in Jesus Christ.
