Evangelism  
The team checks the Sunday attendance sheets for visitors. If they are provided with an address or telephone number, they are visited/called or sent a “Thank You for Visiting” note with church activities and information. The team meets monthly to send “Welcome to the Neighborhood” notes to a list of new residents in our area. The team also sends “Miss You” cards to anyone that hasn’t been seen in church recently. In addition, they prepare “New Member” packets including a variety of information about the church activities.
​
FAMILY/FELLOWSHIP
Holiday Meals: Meals are provided on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day for those who wish to join in fellowship and good food.

PRAYER MINISTRIES
The Prayer Ministry has four separate functions and leaders that cover the following:
Prayer Chain: We have a group of dedicated prayer warriors who pray for all prayer requests for 30 days, longer when updated. 
Monthly Prayer Service: Once a month there is a midweek Community Prayer Service. The focus is on prayer with different speakers and a time of healing. In March we focus on the World Day of Prayer and in May the National Day of Prayer.
Prayer Shawl Ministry: A prayer shawl can cover a person in peace, prayer, healing and grace. Meetings are on the 2nd and 4th Friday every month, gathering to knit and crochet shawls for people in need of comfort.
Pastor's Men's Prayer Group: Pastor Daniel meets with a small group of men for a special time of prayer every Wednesday at 7:30 AM.
