Ministering Communities—Adult Ministries

Purpose

Ministering Communities exist to help our church better adapt to the size we have become and allow for growth as the Lord may choose to add more people. After several months of prayerful consideration with the Elder Board, the congregation ratified Pastor Mathis ' vision of a two-part development in adult ministries.   The first part of his plan makes the Sunday time between worship services be primarily for relationship building. Ministering Communities, nicknamed MCs, were inaugurated in May, 2003.

Description

MCs are multi-generational, sub-congregations of (ideally) between 35 and 70 people meeting on Sunday mornings between worship services.   Each has its own unique characteristics however, all allow for significant time for visiting, engaging in small-group prayer and discussing biblical themes around a table.   We have three MCs. See below for current activities and study topics.

 Each MC is led by a lay-team of men and women who meet several times a year for additional training, planning and evaluation.
