The Card Ministry uses the act of sending monthly greeting cards to share the love of Christ to those in nursing homes & rehabilitation facilities. We do this to help encourage people and show that they are loved. Scripture is included in the cards so the people receiving these cards will know the love of Christ though His Word. We also pray over these cards before they are sent—that the cards would be used in a way that will draw people closer to our Lord. If you would like to be a part of this ministry.

Our Mission Statement: To share Christ's Love and draw people to God by providing greeting cards that contain Bible verses.

Ministry Leader: Kerri Hurd

It’s no secret that this world presents many challenges. As young adults graduate from high school, it’s important for them to have a group that they can connect with and grow in God’s Word. That’s where CURRENTS comes in. We meet each Sunday at 11am and study the Word of God, share in amazing conversations and develop strong and lasting friendships. We support each other and help encourage each other. The currents of this world can have us moving from one place to another, but with our foundation rooted securly in Jesus, we can navigate through these highs and lows. For more information about Currents, please contact Lynn Davis. EMAIL LYNN

Kara Caregivers

Audience: Adults 18+

Leader: Bonnie Camp

Location: TBA

Class Begins: January 2024

Coed Group

Contact: Bonnie Camp EMAIL BONNIE

"To care is the most human of all human gestures.  It is a gesture that comes forth from a courageous confession of our common need for one another and the grace of compassion that binds us together with others like ourselves who share this wonderful, and painful journey of life." Jesus instructs us to carry each other's burdens and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. (Galatians 6:2) Jesus also tells us to love one another as He loved us in John 13:34.  Because our goal is to be more like Christ, and serve others as He served, these verses eventually call most of us to the life of a caregiver at some point in time  Right now there are more than 53 million unpaid caregivers in the US in 2023.

Caregiving is difficult whether it is at home or in a hospital or a nursing home.  Trying to meet the needs of another person is never easy, especially when we are emotionally involved with the one we are providing care for.  A parent, a child, a sibling, a friend... there are many who are called to be caregivers.  And it is not an easy road to travel, and that is why we have established Kara.  

Kara is a group for those of us who have been called to provide care for someone else but who also need to feel cared for.  Kara is a support group where caregivers can come to share what is on their hearts, seek advice from others who are walking the same road and just be appreciated, supported, cared for and encouraged by their own community of believers while experiencing the highs and lows of being a caregiver. Kara will offer a place to unwind amongst others who understand the caregivers journey, and hear encouragement on how blessed it truly is to take on the servant's heart of Christ as we care for others who need our help.

Ministry Leader: 

The purpose of everything determines its nature, design and features. Our Creator, the Lord God Almighty is a God of purpose. He had a purpose in mind when He created you and molded you throughout life (Ephesians 2:10). What God has made you to be is intentional, meaningful and guaranteed to succeed as He has purposed for you. 

Therefor, discovering who you are in Christ Jesus is an important key to determining your purpose in life and in the body of Christ—the kingdom of believer priests! God NEVER wastes anything! He has a plan and purpose for your life!

Your Spiritual gifts, Heart and passions, Abilities and talents, Personality, and life Experiences are what makes you who you are—who God has created you to be. Understanding your unique S.H.A.P.E. will help you discover your place in service to Him--your sweet spot-- so that you can be everything GOD wants you to be!
