Club Names & Descriptions
Puggles- recognize the learning ability of older 2 year olds & younger 3 year olds by introducing biblical precepts at church and equipping parents to teach them at home. Through teaching cards, activities, music and games, Puggles is an enriching program for your pre-Cubbies children.
Cubbies- celebrate the spiritual potential of preschoolers by helping them develop respect for God, His Son and His Word. Through story time, music, games & activities, Cubbies learn about the greatness of God and His Son, Jesus Christ, the promised Savior. Fun puppets and all their “Cubbies friends” will keep these Cubbies anxious for the next club meeting.
Sparks- children, age’s kindergarten thru second grade, will love their bright red vests, exciting game time, and spending time learning about the people and events of the Bible building a foundation of wisdom for knowing Jesus Christ. Sparks is divided into three years, HangGlider, WingRunner, and SkyStormer, where clubbers explore Bible stories from scripture, memorize Bible verses and complete handbook activities. The Sparks three year curriculum takes your child on a journey thru the entire Bible!
Truth & Training (T&T)- answers a child’s questions about God and the Bible. 3rd thru 5th graders will grow in the grace of Jesus Christ through handbook time, group lessons and of course game time! T&T is designed to not only show the truth of scripture but also show how a child can live out these truths in their everyday life. Being an agent for God is a life marked with decisive decisions, but it is a life of joy and growth as they seek to follow the will of God.

Teen Ministry
ONE YOUTH TEEN MINISTRY
Our teen ministry is designed with 6th -12th graders in mind. In a world full of chaos and confusion, it is important that the leaders of tomorrow have a place for activities, ministry, and fellowship that will help them develop into the mature Christ-like believers that God designed them to become. Our teen ministry desires to come alongside parents, with the distinct purpose of leading, guiding, and developing the lives of their teens with a love for the Word of God and a desire to obey Him.
One Youth Teen Ministry meets on Wednesday nights at 7:00 pm for a time of prayer and preaching around the Word of God. Young people learn Biblical principles and commands that God has set in His Word and how to implement them in life.
Throughout the year, we encourage fellowship and Christian growth through:
Teen Visitation
Monthly Activities
Outreach efforts
Summer Camps
Teen Conferences
Youth Rallies
Ski Trips
We provide a schedule for teen activities, which details the date, time and cost of the activity.

OUR MUSIC MINISTRIES
Music has been a tradition in the New Testament church and our music is traditional with a little flavor of Southern Gospel and modern Christian.
Our Minister of Music, Bro. Devin Cominskie, directs the choir for singing on Sunday mornings and special services. Soloists and other groups minister in most of the weekly services. We also have special musical groups for concerts, revivals and conferences.
