FAMILY CHURCH

Loving God - Loving People

CONNECT AT FAMILY CHURCH

LIFE JOURNALS

Our desire is to help New Christians grow into all that God desires for them to be! One of the tools that we are using to do that are “Life Journals”. Part of the process of doing these daily journals is reading and praying for the Holy Spirit to speak to each person in that day’s scripture. They then write down what the Lord put on their heart for that day and how He is going to accomplish what He is calling them to do in the moments of each day. New believers are also encouraged to join a small group to begin their new life with Christ in accountability and encouragement.

ROYAL RANGERS

Royal rangers meet on Wednesday nights! All boys and girls 1st-6th grade will find a class to learn about God and have fun with others in their age group! This is a merit-based program that teaches children Biblical principles and truths, and has classroom behavioral requirements to participate in activities. There is a weekly dinner together at 6:15pm and classes begin at 6:45 until 8pm. There are field trips, and summer adventure camps for these age groups. Ranger kids is 1-2 grade, Discovery kids is 3-4 grade, Adventure rangers is 5-6 grade. 7th grade can attend as a student leader or go to REAL YOUTH.

REAL YOUTH

Our mission as youth leaders is to encourage teenagers to engage in a real and personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We emphasize the importance of prayer, worship, and solitude in the Word. We want to see a generation changed by the power of the Holy Spirit, a generation that is not afraid to reach the lost, and a generation that has a boldness to proclaim the gospel.

We meet at  Family Church upstairs in the sanctuary. We look forward to seeing you there on Wednesday nights (6:15pm -8:00pm-“ish”) and your are welcome to join other special events that we put on, even if it is your first time.  Summer camps are available every summer for middle school and high school students! 

MIGHTY MITES

Mighty mites is a fun program to introduce children to our merit-based classes for older kids. Children will be taught Bible stories and truths! Time is the same as Royal rangers, with a meal from 6:25- 6:45 and classes from 6:45-8pm. This is for potty trained preschool – kindergarten aged children. 

HOME GROUPS

Family Church has several home groups at any given time, we have a home group based on the needs of those in addiction recovery, groups based on building relationships through prayer and fellowship, groups focused on Bible studies, etc. Groups that are formed around meeting certain community needs. Come find where you’re can plug in!

WOMEN

We hope to accomplish this goal through many different ministry “arms” led by many different women—Bible studies, fellowship gatherings, a food pantry, organized and specific outreaches to the community, prayer groups, ministry to the younger women and girls, ministry to our “silver crowns”, ministry to single moms, meals, rides, retreats, etc.  Mom’s group for young mothers to do lunches together during the summer. The leadership at Family Church aims to encourage, equip, empower, and get behind women throughout the church body as they find and step out to fulfill their unique and beautiful callings in Jesus Christ.  This is Women’s Ministry!

SILVER CROWNS

Silver Crowns is for women ages 50+, the group meets weekly on Tuesdays from 11:30am -1:30pm . We currently meet at Our Savior’s Lutheran church located at 707 West 3rd Street.

Together, we enjoy a meal, a short devotion and sing a few hymns. It is our hope that those attending the group will discover and nurture new friendships as well as create an opportunity to serve one another and the community, both individually and as a group.

We have volunteers who drive, if anyone who needs a ride to attend Silver Crowns.

T.N.T. (TWENTIES AND THIRTIES)

This group focuses on our twenty and thirty year olds! There are seasonal classes, BBQs, date nights, and game nights. Singles and couples are invited to these events throughout the year.

MEN

Men’s ministries at Family Church is really all about men growing together in Christ! We seek God together in prayer and in serving in community projects. We train up young men and boys to be what God has called them to be as men of God. Men work together on projects for the church and seek out God’s will for our lives together. We have fun together while 4 wheeling or camping, fishing, hiking, rafting, shooting, BBQing and eating. At Other times different men in the group will lead studies as we really try to “hammer out” what is going on in our lives by walking in “transparency” with each other. It is Worship, it is Prayer, it is helping each other. It is teaching, it is listening, it is sharing. It is keeping each other accountable before God, and being submitted to the Lord. It is in this search, in reaching towards this goal and in living for this purpose that we find Christ living and moving among us. Come and see what God might do in you as you commit your heart to God and to other men!

We meet weekly at McDonalds on Wednesday from 6:30-8:00am for fellowship; and we meet together on Fridays at 11:30am for lunch and fellowship at the Laurel Golf club.

Projects and special events happen throughout the year whenever we are needed.

Come explore the kingdom of God with us!

SOW COMMUNITY OUTREACH

The Sow ministry is one of our compassion outreaches to our community. This is an outreach that seeks to help families with physical needs, food and clothes. We have partnered with up to ten churches in the community with this ministry to reach into larger needs that no church could handle alone. This has enabled us to fund our School’s “backpack food program” for the first years after its inception in Laurel. Teams from various churches work together for children in need of meals when the school lunch program ends. SOW picks up that need each summer with our mobile food trailer which brings meals to the children and families at locations in their neighborhood! SOW also helps at various church sponsored community outreach events.
