MINISTRIES
Children
Our children’s ministry starts from birth through 6th grade. Through Sunday School, and programs such as AWANA, and Vacation Bible School, children learn about God not only through bible teachings, but also through activities such as crafts and games. They also have opportunities to go to camps, go on field trips and mission trips.
Youth
Our youth ministry is for teenagers who are in 7th through 12th grade. Our youth Sunday School offers topical studies that are relevant to them. We help them to grow closer to God and help and support them during these crucial yet challenging years. Operation Christmas Child, youth rallies/camps, Feed My Starving Children, mission trips are just some of the ministries and activities that our youths participate and enjoy throughout the year.
Women
A place where women can learn and grow through bible studies. A place to develop relationships. A place to offer support and encouragement to each other through prayers. Besides bible studies and prayers, our ladies also attend conferences, go on retreats, participate in outreach and missions (WMU).
Men
We seek to mentor and disciple men and help them to live a godly, productive life. We meet monthly for breakfast, bible study, and church work day. Our men attend the ‘Iron Sharpens Iron’ conference every year.
AWANA
AWANA offers a fun, proven approach for early evangelism and discipleship. Scripture-based programs and exciting games attract families, promote Bible literacy, and help kids develop lifelong faith in Christ.

AWANA is currently on hold.
Operation Christmas Child
Every year around October, we pack and collect shoeboxes for OCC. These shoeboxes will be delivered to children all over the world to show them that God loves them. The children will hear the gospel for the first time and will go through a discipleship program, The Greatest Journey, and learn about Jesus. Visit the OCC page for more information.
