Ministries
No matter your station in life, there are ministries here that you can get involved with, grow in your faith, and serve others. Relationships are built as we fellowship together, and at the center of it all is Jesus.
For Kids
We want to disciple children as well as teach parents to disciple their children. We do not believe children are the future, we believe they are the foundation. Besides our weekly events, we also have many events for children that we would love for you to get involved in.
Sundays:
E-Kids is a ministry that serves children 0-12. Our heart is to provide a safe environment for children to have fellowship and learn the Bible. Our ministry is broken down into 3 different age groups. Our nursery serves ages 0-3. Our E-kids class serves students 5-12, while our Toddler Class is ages 3-5.
Wednesdays:
Royal Rangers and Girls Ministries (See below)
We truly believe Royal Rangers changes lives. We have small groups for ages 3-5 and grades Kindergarten through high school. Our preschool age is boys and girls. Once they begin kindergarten, they move to gender specific small groups. These groups provide a safe environment to connect and build relationships. They help support each other through life challenges and cheer them on in the good. Our goal is to see every child move toward a deep relationship with Jesus Christ, and to realize their importance and potential in the kingdom of God.

For Teens
Our heart is to provide a safe place for teenagers to have fellowship, small groups, worship, and learn about the Word of God. The goal is to build disciples that will go out and make disciples. We want our students to continue to attend church long after they graduate high school. Many pastors and leaders have been developed through this student ministry.
Wednesdays
Our ministry has our main service on Wednesday nights at 6:30, but we do monthly events to engage teenagers.
For Adults
There are numerous places and opportunities where you can get involved.

Small Groups
Small Groups offer an opportunity for each individual to grow in his or her faith while participating in practical ministry opportunities--all within the context of Christian community. Small Groups happen at different times and locations throughout the week. We believe everyone thrives in the context of a small group.
