Ministries
Our music ministry is growing & is exciting. We feature a lot of different styles of music from traditional hymns to southern gospel to contemporary to praise & worship. Our choir meets on Sunday evening at 5:00 pm for practice. Our music ministry truly sets the tone for our worship.
Our prayer ministry is a dynamic part of our church. It is an active ministry that constantly lifts up those who are sick and lost. We do this through a prayer chain & through the Upper Room. The Upper Room is a Prayer Chapel set up in our Sanctuary building for those who wish to come & pray anytime the building is open. Our Prayer chain is active everyday for immediate needs & concerns
Stewardship is a ministry that often gets overlooked. We realize that we are to be good stewards of the things & the talents we have been given. Mrs. Betty Cross & our finance team do a great job of being good stewards. A steward is a manager of the assets of the owner. We believe that God is the owner of it all & has placed a portion of His assets under our responsibility. Therefore we take seriously the Stewardship Ministry of our Church.
We have a heart for missions in our church. We give to missions through our Southern Baptist Convention by giving to the Cooperative Program, Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, Annie Armstrong Easter Offering. Janie Chapman State Mission offering & through individual support of other missionaries around the world. We also have several unique ministries such as our sewing ministry called Touching Hearts for Jesus. Many people within our church are involved in this dynamic ministry which sews blankets and bears for police officers to carry in case of shock for those involved in car crashes. We also minister in the hospital by making bears for children, neck pillows & regular pillows for adults, blankets, smocked dresses & gowns for premature babies that are too small for store bought clothes. We are also involved with the Seaman's Ministry in Charleston. Volunteers crochet hundreds of seaman's caps each year that go out from the port in Charleston with the message of Christ in their language. These ministries truly do touch hearts for Jesus. Touching Hearts for Jesus Sewing Ministry meets in the Fellowship Hall, 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month at 1 pm - Open to ALL! Ms. Pat Wood is our director.
Our youth ministry is also a key focus of our church. We meet every Sunday Night in our youth room for Bible Study & fellowship. We plan many different activities throughout the year for our youth such as Youth Retreats, other fun activities & missions projects.
The Children's ministry of our church is at the heart of our ministry. We have Sunday School, Children's sermons, Children's church (for both Sunday services) & Awana every Wednesday night throughout the school year. We plan other activities throughout the year for our children.
Education is a vital part of any church. We have trained teachers for all ages. We are committed to teaching the Bible & leading people to the truth of the scripture. We are teaching men and women, boys & girls about salvation in Christ Jesus.
Young at Heart is our ministry to individuals who are 50 and over. This group meets once a month for food & fellowship. It has been a tremendous blessing to our church. Each month we meet to fellowship together & do things that meet the needs of our Senior adults. We have Bible studies, fun times & informational things that pertain to senior adults.
