Church Life Ministry

The Church Life Ministry is dedicated to fostering a vibrant and engaging community within our church, creating opportunities for connection, fellowship, and active participation. Through our Events Team, we organize a variety of enjoyable activities, including the annual church picnic, game nights, sledding events, bowling outings, and kayaking trips, all aimed at bringing members together in fun and meaningful ways. The Connections Team focuses on helping visitors feel at home and encouraging them to engage more fully in the life of the church through follow-up care, welcome bags, and opportunities for new members to connect with mentors. Our mission is to strengthen the bonds within our church community and support both the spiritual and social growth of our members.
