Spiritual Development & Fellowship

I'm New Here Background #1

Children’s Ministry

As a family-oriented community hub, our top priority is to deliver a comprehensive Children’s Ministry for our members. We provide age-appropriate programs to help children grasp the concept of having a relationship with Christ and their peers. We designed our campus with children in mind, featuring an outdoor activity area, a playground, and three uniquely themed rooms for different age groups. Additionally, we have a youth group dedicated to engaging and ministering to middle school and high school-aged kids.

  • Sunday Service Nursery for Children 2 and under
  • Sunday Service Pre-School for Children 2-4
  • Sunday Service Children’s Church for Children K-5th Grade

Youth Ministry

Our Youth Ministry is a vibrant and welcoming community where we focus on building a strong relationship with Jesus, both individually and as a family. We are dedicated to personal and collective growth, discovering and fulfilling God’s calling in our lives, and having fun together. Held on Sunday nights from 6-7:30 pm, our program is open to youth from 6th to 12th grade. Whether you’re new to Jesus or have known Him for a while, you’ll find a place where you are appreciated and valued. Join us for an engaging and supportive environment where faith and friendship flourish.

  • Youth Group—Middle school through high school age kids can join us on Sunday nights from 6:00-7:30 pm for food, fellowship, fun, and a lesson

Spiritual Development Team

The Spiritual Development Team’s purpose is to facilitate activities for all individuals and families that promote spiritual growth. Those opportunities include Adult Sunday School, Sunday morning praise and worship, Wednesday night bible study, Prayer Brunch, children’s and youth ministries, as well as other evangelism and discipleship events.

  • Youth Group—Middle school through high school age kids can join us on Sunday nights from 6:30-8 pm for food, fellowship, fun, and a lesson

Worship Team

As a church, we take great pleasure in uniting to praise, honor, and celebrate God, which we express through the medium of music and song.

Just as Psalms 100: 1-5 says,
“Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. 4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. 5 For the Lord is God and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.”

Discipleship Team

We earnestly embrace our Christ-given mandate to create disciples of Jesus Christ. This begins by spreading the good news within our community, encouraging them to become followers of Jesus Christ, and experience His love that has the power to transform lives and give second chances. This involves sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with those who do not know Him, teaching, training, and mentoring Christians to grow in their relationship with Jesus and facilitating times for us to come together as a church family to worship God through music, singing, prayer, and preaching.

Fellowship Team

The Fellowship Team is all about weaving the threads of connection and care within our church community. Our mission is to strengthen the bonds among our members, provide heartfelt support, and safeguard the unity of our congregation. We aim to make every newcomer feel warmly welcomed and seamlessly integrated into the vibrant life of our church. We strive to help our members get to know each other better, create opportunities for meaningful interactions, and foster deep, lasting relationships among those who worship together. Additionally, we are dedicated to offering pastoral care—emotional, social, and spiritual support—to those in need, whether they are ill, incapacitated, or unable to attend services.

While programs and events play a crucial role in achieving our goals, they are merely the tools we use to build something greater. Our true aim is to ensure that everyone feels welcomed, valued, appreciated, and cared for in everything we do. The Fellowship Team will continue to fulfill its divine mission as long as genuine, meaningful relationships are being nurtured and strengthened within our church.

Our activities include organizing gatherings for church members to spend quality time together, finding innovative ways to integrate new members into our community, overseeing the visitation of church members, and keeping everyone informed about opportunities to fellowship with other Christians. Within our team, we have specialized groups such as the Welcome Team, the Visitation Team, the Care Team, and the Special Events Team, each dedicated to specific aspects of our mission.
