Student Ministries
This is a time when students come together and pray, worship, and study God's Holy Word (the Bible). Students can share their concerns about life, struggles, and questions and someone will be there to listen and help. Each student is placed with students of his or her own school grade. We have the following classes: 7th-8th grade boys; 7th-8th grade girls 9th-10th grade boys; 9th-10th grade girls 11th-12th grade co-ed; college co-ed.

  Bible Study 
We believe that the Bible is God's Word. The Bible provides instruction for all areas of our lives. Because of this belief we provide several opportunities for Bible Study. Sunday mornings we have classes for all ages including 13 different classes for adults. Sunday evening we have discipleship classes that are topical Bible Studies. Also each Wednesday night the pastor leads us in a Bible Study Series.
Worship & Music
The expression of praise is vitally important in the life of every Christian. We hold three worship services each week.  Music is an important aspect of our praise to God. To assist in worship, we have Adult, Teen, Children and Preschool choirs. In addition to these, ensembles, orchestra and praise bands regularly lead in worship. Our morning services offer a blended selection of music from traditional hymns, to praise songs.
  Drama & Musicals
Each of our choirs present special performances through out the year.  At Easter we present a major musical drama of the passion week. The cast will involve over 75 performers.  Drama is occationally used in weekily worship to help illustrate important messages.
Support Groups
  Fibromyalgia Support Group
At 1:00 pm on the first Thursday of each month, the National Arthritis Foundation sponsors a Fibromyalgia Support Group here at our church. Everyone is invited to come. For more information, please call the church office.
  Recovery Support Group
Every Thursday at 7:00 pm, “A Safe Place” support group meets for people recovering from or struggling with addictions, as well as a component for family members and loved ones of those with addictions. This Christ-centered ministry strengthens, supports and encourages the well-being of people with addictions and their families, and is based, in part, on the Christ-centered 12-step program that has been used by the established Alcoholics for Christ program.
