Contemporary Worship

A Christ-centered experience that includes contemporary Christian praise and worship music with instrumentals, the Word of God, and Holy Communion. Join us on the 4th Sunday of the month at 11 a.m. as we celebrate the Good News of our Savior, Jesus Christ!

Mission

Once a year or so, Pastor Craig is privileged to lead a multi-generational group of folks on a Cross Country Mission trip and/or be involved in City Mission. The primary purpose of these events is to engage the participants with people who have been through the storm…be it a hurricane, tornado, human-generated catastrophe, or just the difficulties of life. These mission efforts have made disaster relief/re-build part of the “new normal” in our discipleship, fostering a heartwarming success story with hundreds –of all ages- donating their time, gifts, and prayers.

Early Learning Center

The purpose of the ELC is to guide and nourish the spiritual growth of pre-kindergarten age children in a Christian educational setting. Matthew 18:4-5 and Proverbs 22:6.

Men in Mission

The Men in Mission brings the men of the church together for a time of fellowship to participate in the Wood Cross Ministry, the annual Men’s Retreat, and a Saturday morning Bible study. We also have a cookout every three months to celebrate God’s Word. Maybe add some text to include Vernon Kipp’s involvement in the Wood Cross project and refer to the map of where the crosses have been shared.

The Bible Advocate Group for Men

The Bible Advocate Group for Men or BAGMEN for short has had a great following over the years. The members enjoy the group coming together in fellowship allowing the Holy Spirit to enter their meetings. This time allows us to dive deeper into studying the Bible and asking questions about the Scriptures which we are reading at the time. It also gives us the chance to just relax and enjoy each other’s company.

Bible Studies

(i.e. TAP, Into the Void, Bait of Satan)

Pastor Craig has written a book on parenting entitled The Awe-full Privilege (TAP): This Thing Called Parenting which we use to prepare parents for their child’s Baptism as well as First Communion. Please let us know if you’d like a copy for your own reading. Pastor Craig and the TAP Team will be teaching this as an occasional class.
