Serve in the Church
ministries
Power Kidz Ministry
Children’s Worship Ministry is offered to children age 5 through grade 5 at 11:00am on Sundays; a younger age group (age 5-2nd gr.) and older age group (3rd-5th gr.). Leaders serve about every 4th week as a team leading prayer, music from videos, puppet skits, etc. All worship curriculum and materials are provided to each team, weekly.
NextGen Ministry
NextGen is a vibrant, Christ-centered ministry where students grow in faith, build real relationships, and learn to serve boldly. Rooted in Ezekiel 37, we believe God brings life to every student. Through weekly Bible studies, Sunday worship, fun monthly hangouts, and transformative retreats, students are known, valued, and challenged to follow Jesus. Leaders model Christ-centered living, foster community, and help students discover their purpose—while having fun along the way.
Social Media Ministry
Serving in the Social Media Ministry means helping tell the story of what God is doing in our church online. This team creates, posts, and manages content that encourages, informs, and connects people both inside and outside our church walls. Whether it’s sharing sermon highlights, upcoming events, or moments of worship and fellowship, you’ll help extend the reach of the Gospel one post at a time. No experience required, just the desire, along with a strong sense of creativity and responsibility and a heart to serve.
AWANA
Serving in AWANA is an opportunity to invest directly in the next generation. Volunteers help guide children as they learn God’s Word, build strong biblical foundations, and grow in their relationship with Christ in a fun, structured environment. Whether you’re teaching, listening to verses, leading games, or simply encouraging kids, your time makes a lasting impact on young hearts and families.

We Care Ministry
When we intentionally engage with one another and the community around us, something powerful happens, real relationships are formed, and lives begin to change.
In our groups, you’ll experience the joy, fulfillment, hope, and forgiveness found in Jesus Christ while building meaningful connections with others who are on the same journey. Together, we encourage one another, pray for each other, and grow in our faith.
These connections happen through Sunday morning Grow Groups and Connection Groups that meet throughout the week in homes, creating spaces where you can belong, be known, and grow.
Come be part of what God is doing. Let Him transform your life, and be ready to share that story with others.

This ministry handles audio, visuals, and livestream elements to ensure services run smoothly and distraction-free. By serving here, you help create an atmosphere where the congregation can focus fully on worship and the message. No tech background? No problem, training is provided. Faithfulness and a willingness to learn are all you need.
