ADULT MINISTRY

We believe that God desires to enter into a personal relationship with those created in His image. 

 

As a church, God has given us the resources we need to help fan the flame of the relationship between people and Jesus Christ.

For a Christian, this means we are disciples when we follow Jesus Christ. He has a heart for the lost, the last, the least, and the lonely. When we follow Jesus, our hearts begin to change to share the same concern.

 

The process of growing into this lifestyle is called discipleship. It is simply a matter of being willing to continue following him through worship, prayer, the reading of God’s Word, fellowship, and other spiritual practices.

ADULT FORMATION GROUPS

Our Adult Formation Groups gather on Sunday mornings from 9:15 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. to read God’s Word and explore spiritual practices. Childcare is available for children six weeks old through 5th grade.

On January 11 at 9:15 a.m., we'll meet in Room 102 to begin a new 6-week COMBINED Adult Formation Class. 

Step out of the sanctuary and into the volatile world of the Apostle Paul! 

Discover how the early church navigated immense Political, Economic, Racial, Cultural, and Social pressures under the Roman Empire. Learn how their commitment to Christ created a radical, unifying counter-culture—a message just as vital for us today. Don't just read the letters; understand the revolution!

DAUGHTERS OF THE KING

Members of The Order of the Daughters of the King® are women and girls between the ages of twenty-one and one hundred and seven who desire a closer walk with the Lord. We are Christian women, both lay and ordained, who are strengthened through the discipline of a Rule of Life and supported through the companionship of our sisters. We are all at different stages of our Christian journey – some have just begun, and some have been on this path for a long time. But no matter where we are on our sacred journeys, our primary goal is the same – to know Jesus Christ and to make Him known to others.

Reaffirming the promises made at Baptism and Confirmation, a Daughter pledges herself to a life-long program of prayer, service, and evangelism. She receives support in this commitment from a worldwide community of like-minded women.

In solidarity with one another, all Daughters everywhere make the same promises upon their admission to The Order:


To obey the two Rules of The Order: the Rule of Prayer and the Rule of Service.
To offer at all times loyal aid to our clergy and parish to spread Christ’s kingdom.
To wear faithfully the cross of The Order.
To work for the purposes of The Order as God may give us the opportunity.

 

We meet on the third Sunday of the month after the 10:30 a.m. service in Room 102. If you are interested in joining our chapter, please contact the president, Donna Bell.​​​​
