Ministries
Ministry is where people lead and serve and where we make a Christ-centered difference in people’s lives. Ministry is reaching people through serving and ministry. This is a form of witness for Jesus wherever we go. We continue to pray for God’s guidance in developing ministries that will impact lives and our community. As a church, we provide the following opportunities for ministry...

Mini-Gatherings
 Mini-Gatherings are small groups of eight to 12 individuals or five to six couples who meet weekly in someone’s home, coffee shop, park, etc. for Bible Study, prayer, accountability and fellowship and ministry. Mini-Gatherings are the best places for sustained life change to happen. People study the Bible and discuss how to apply God's Word to today's issues and challenges.

Children’s Ministry
 We love Kids! Providing the best possible ministry for children is a high priority for us! Every Sunday, kids, ages birth thru 5th Grade, experience God through age-appropriate Bible studies, interactive games, and hands-on learning experiences that help them connect with Jesus.
We give special care to build into every child. We provide an environment that children will be excited about and one they want to be part of every week.
Elevate is where our children (five years old to fifth grade) worship and learn about God through the Bible, worship, and interactive activities.
 Preschool We provide appropriate activities for three and four year olds. Your child will learn about God and receive special care.
Nursery care for children birth through two years old is provided every Sunday. We are committed to caring for your child while you worship.
Awana. We partner with Pacific Islands Bible Church to provide Awana for our children. This is an amazing children’s ministry. Awana is an international organization "whose goal is to reach boys and girls with the gospel of Christ and train them to serve Him".
There are five clubs for children ages 3 through 12th grade. There are three main components: Game Time, Council (or Lesson) Time, and Handbook Time (scripture memorization).

Student Ministry (6th through 12th grade)
It is our vision to see students come into a personal and growing relationship with Jesus. We desire to provide environments that help students grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ through:
Base Camp. Junior High (6th through 8th grades). Ministry during morning worship services, which provides age-appropriate teaching for junior high.
Mini-Gathering. The youth meet at the Fritts' house 6.45 p.m. Youth are challenged to grow in their relationship with God. We also see how the Bible applies to our lives. In our youth Mini-Gathering, we build into each other’s lives and encourage each other to grow as followers of Christ.
We also go to Camps, Retreats, & do other Fun activities

Please join in and pray with us as we seek God’s direction.
