Ministries - Providing Shade
Worship is grand. Discipleship is needed. However we desire to move our worship and learning into the world by creating ministries as a church and living out or faith as individuals. We do this as we organize our church to meet a need that God has given us and as simple as how we treat those we come into contact with at the store, restaurant or at school. We are providing "shade".
Teen MOPS -Mothers of Preschoolers - is a ministry to meet needs of girls in our community who are either pregnant or who have a baby. We do not preach at the girls but applaud their decision not to abort and we give them a hand during their first years as a teenage mom. Our "Mops Shop" is a room packed full of clothing and baby supplies.
Father for the Fatherless - as a church we believe that we are to be in ministry with children who do not have a parent or who have become wards of the State. We provide clothing and school supplies and have some members who are foster and adoptive parents.
International House of Prayer (IHOP) - is our daily prayer ministry. We have many people who have volunteered to pray one day per month for all our members by name and our staff.
