ADULT EDUCATION
We offer two Sunday School classes each week, plus additional short-term classes periodically throughout the year, and a women’s book study group that meets twice a month from Sept. thru May.

LIFE STAGES
We recognize that sometimes it is encouraging to build friendships with those in similar ages and stages of life who can relate to what’s going on in your life. We offer various groups to meet this need.

FELLOWSHIP
We offer many opportunities for all ages to explore shared interests together. Our men’s breakfast group and women’s lunch group meet monthly; we offer a golf league and hobby clubs (camera, crochet, quilting), and host special events (like our annual summer picnic).

This ministry reaches those in need within our congregational community. Support is offer through our Prayer Chain, meal ministry, caring gift bags and cards, and personal visits.

MISSION & OUTREACH
God invites us to reach out to those in need within our community and the greater world. This team has ongoing activities with several local and regional outreach groups, and sponsors mission trips in various places.

EQUIPPING
In the book of Ephesians 4:12, we are invited to “equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ.” This ministry has two important missions: to provide hospitality to our newcomers and regular worshipers, and to mentor and recruit lay leadership for our many ministries.

WORSHIP & MUSICAL ARTS
Praising God in sermon, songs, and scripture through worship is the focus of this team. Our many musical groups (vocal choir, handbells, praise band, instrumentalists, etc.) share their talents, and additional people support other worship aspects such as our sound booth, communion, liturgy readers, etc.

ADMINISTRATIVE
These ministries help set the vision for our church, and carry out the many practical aspects of managing the church business.
