Ministries List
A monthly initiative in which members sign up for one or more 30 minute
time slots to pray starting at 7PM the fourth Friday of the month and ending
at 7pm on Saturday. Prayer requests are collected the third Sunday of the
month and distributed to everyone who has signed up to pray. This initiative
recognizes the power of collective prayer to a heavenly Father who loves us
and hears our prayers of praise and petition. It has turned out to be a
powerful process for building and sustaining a heart of caring in the
congregation, as we experience together the fullness of life in Christ.
FriendSpeak is a ministry that reaches out to our non-English speaking
neighbors. Can you speak English? Then you are fully qualified for this
ministry. It is a program that offers Free English Practice Sessions while
using the Bible as our text. It is an awesome experience to build a
relationship with others while they are learning to speak English and
then watch the light come on as they come to understand the love God
has for them. Come join us in this ministry and start making an impact
today.
Men’s Breakfast – The male members of the congregation meet the
second Saturday morning each month at 8AM for breakfast, Bible study
discussion and prayer. The responsibility to prepare the breakfast is
rotated through 2 men teams. The responsibility for leading the Bible
study discussion also rotates among the men who participate in the
monthly breakfast. At times we meet in one of the member’s homes
and at other times we meet in the fellowship hall. These monthly
get-togethers are times of service, camaraderie, fellowship and spiritual
development. They facilitate opportunities to experience together the
fullness of life in Christ.
Encourages the spiritual development of inmates in the Waller County Jail and with
certain inmates in various State prisons. Contact with inmates is primarily through
mail and to a limited extent through personal visits. Bibles are provided for inmates
that request them. The ministry also involves some limited follow-up with folks after
they are released from incarceration, to help them adjust to their new environment.
It also involves interaction with friends and family members of inmates, particularly
at hearings. The goal is to help incarcerated folks see their time of being incarcerated
as a time for rehabilitation and for continually focusing their lives on living to honor
God and blessing the lives of others, in preparation for the time they are released from
incarceration – paving the way for them to experience the fullness of life in Christ.
The teen Ministry is so much more than just a group of teens that get pulled along to
Church by their parents on Sunday morning. Our teen group is all about serving the
Church, the Community, and most importantly God. While the young men serve on
the table, lead opening and closing prayers, and songs the young ladies run the AV
booth and provide care for the younger children during service. Our teen group has
even started to plan and host events for the congregation. We have started a life group
specifically for the teens where we discuss how they can apply scripture to their daily
lives. Our goal is to prepare them for what the world may throw their way and how
they can use scripture to handle those obstacles. We want them to build a relationship
with God that is their own and not their parents or grandparents.
The digital ministry of the church is not just a necessity of modern times. We see
the digital world as a huge tool for the spread of the gospel. Through the internet
we can experience the fullness of life in Christ together with people we may never
meet, just like Paul using his letters to reach us two thousand years removed from
him. We maintain the church website, not only as a front door to the church for
visitors, but as a tool for us to practice spiritual disciplines together. The Prayer Hub
on our website lets us join in prayer from wherever we are. We maintain an active
presence on Facebook, with plans to branch onto more platforms soon. We stream
our worship online and keep all the technology in the building running smoothly.
