Women’s Ministry

This ministry exists to create a culture of inclusivity where different age demographics can intersect and build relationships. The larger annual events are designed to be life-giving (relationally and spiritually) while our smaller monthly events provide opportunity for women with similar interests to gather, connect, and build more intimate relationships. Emma Van Haaren is the facilitator (emmajvanhaaren@gmail.com).

Men’s Ministry

This ministry aims to help men become authentic followers of Jesus by providing opportunities to gather and grow in their faith and relationship with each other. The theme verse is “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another” (Proverbs 27:17). It is hoped that the men’s ministry becomes more than a program but a movement in which men commit to sharpening each other in the pursuit of Christ-likeness. Kyle Patterson is the facilitator (kdp89@hotmail.com).

Seniors M&Ms

Come and join us for a great time of fellowship once a month at our M&M’s ministry group, which starts at 10 a.m. and ends at noon with a delicious lunch. This group meets on the fourth Thursday of each month with a few exceptions so check out our calendar for details. The cost is $15.00 per person. You may be wondering what M&Ms is and why you should come. M&Ms stands for Mr. & Mrs./Misses. It is a group that is designed to bring adults that are retired who want to meet new people and enjoy some social time together. Our meetings are designed to encourage fellowship with one another as we come together for singing, learning from relevant presentations, and encouraging faith stories to help us grow in our walk with Christ. Linda Binkley is the facilitator (fbcmandms@gmail.com).
