Fellowship Bible Class
You may retire from work, but you never retire from the work of the Lord. Our ministry gives senior adults a place to continue to grow in their faith and to show the wisdom they have achieved through experience.
Psalm 37:25 - "I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread."
Faith Builders
Is a group of young adults, building their faith by being taught the fundamental doctrines of the Bible. Being taught to build relationships in the home, church, and workplace. This class is training for the future.
Hebrews 11:6 - "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."
Youth
Young people must be taught the clear commandments of God's Word. II Timothy 2:2, "And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also."
The purpose of the local church youth ministry is to help equip families with the necessary tools from God's Word to lay the right foundation for the rest of life. It is of our task to take the place of parents by keeping young people active while separated from home and family. We must work to help entire families serve the Lord together. The essential for the youth minister is to walk with God and work with parents.
Proverbs 22:6 - "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
Children
Children are a gift from God. They are given to parents, and it is the responsibility of parents to give their children back to God. Giving a child to God involves first he surrender of the parents' will to the will of God.
Psalm 127:3 - "Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward."
Nursery
Nothing serves as so precious a reminder of God's blessing to us as the birth of a child. Every newborn baby should have the joy and privilege of being brought into a truly Christian home. It is the responsibility of the local church nursery and preschool ministry to provide all the help possible to parents as they seek to serve the Lord, bring their children to church, and teach their children to know God.
I Corinthians 15:51 - "...We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed..."
