Ministries

ELEVATE is a post-high school ministry group that meets at a host family’s house every other Saturday from 7-10 pm. It is geared toward young men and women in our church and community who are transitioning into independent living, marriage and family life, and those seeking God’s purpose for their lives ahead. Our goal as a ministry is to “encourage one another and build each other up” through Christian fellowship and studying God’s Word (1 Thessalonians 5:11). Fellowship time includes group games, worship through singing, Bible study and prayer, and snacks. We even plan group outings for occasional off weeks for extra fellowship time!

“We have seen God move in the lives of young men and women in the group as they seek His direction in their lives.  The Lord has led some to further their education, some to start their own businesses, some to serve Him in church ministries, and some have gotten married!  As we acknowledge the Lord in all our ways, He is directing our paths as He promised (Prov. 3:5-6).” — Dan Peterson, ELEVATE facilitator

Nursery (Newborn - 2 years old)

The goal of our Nursery Ministry is to run a safe, clean, and orderly childcare space for 0-2 year-olds.  We have experienced women and men who love kids and desire to give them a pleasant experience every week. Our hope is to provide this space so parents can have the opportunity to focus on worship and be fed from the service. Part of our routine in Nursery, once babies are settled, is to have a group reading from The Bible Book, a song time, and a snack.

Sunday School (for all ages)

Our Sunday School ministry takes place every week at 9:30 am before the service. This time offers valuable, Scripture-based learning options for every member of the family!

Children aged 3 years through high school are guided through age-appropriate and gospel-centered lessons, covering all the way from Creation to Eternity with an intentional focus on Christ. Our aim is to grow our children and youth in an appreciation for Jesus’ redemptive plan as it is unveiled throughout HIS-tory! Our current curriculum even sneaks in the foundational doctrines of the church, preparing kids for spiritual maturity and adulthood.

Our adult classes often focus on a particular book of the Bible or topic expounded in Scripture. Periodically, these classes are tailored toward specific groups, such as men or women, newcomers, and relationship or family-related studies. As a ministry, we are strongly committed to sharing the love of Jesus with you and your family and provide guidance and fellowship on a weekly basis. Nursery ministry is available for little ones who aren’t quite ready for a structured learning environment. 

Junior Church (3 years old - 1st grade)

Junior Church is available every Sunday morning to children aged 3 years through 2nd grade. Our service begins with a time of corporate worship, prayer, and announcements, during which children are with their families. Prior to the sermon, our pastor dismisses the children downstairs. In Junior Church, qualified church members lead our children through Scripture, songs, crafts, and an age-level message, typically based on the same Scripture as the sermon. When the sermon is done, the children are released or kept until parents pick them up per request.
