Ministry Examples
Leadership
| Deacons | The deacons assist the pastor in the administration of the ordinances, strengthen the hand of the pastor in his labors, and in concert with him, exercise a general watch care of the spiritual interest of the church. Deacons must meet the qualifications laid down in I Timothy, be a member of the church for at least one year, be elected to office, shall serve for three years, and shall not succeed himself in office until at least one year has elapsed. |
| Trustees | The trustees hold in trust all property belonging to the church and take measures for the protection and management of the same. Qualifications and terms of election are identical to deacons. |
Ushers & Greeters
| Ushers | The ushers greet people and ensure everyone has a church brochure. They help seat visitors, and coordinate and receive the regular offering. The ushers are also responsible for keeping general order in the services to maintain an atmosphere for worship. Ushers are selected by the Head Usher. |
| Greeters | Greeters go out of their way to shake hands with church members and visitors to make everyone feel welcome and glad they are here. |
Missions
| Missions Team | The Missions Team oversees the missions activities of the church to include recommending which missionaries the church should support and the amount of the support. The Missions Team works to meet the needs of our missionaries. We get to know our missionaries better through their regular prayer letters, we support them through financial assistance, and we help meet their needs through the missions closet and special projects. The Missions Team also works to get the people of Forestville involved with our missionaries on a more personal level through the adopt-a-missionary program, the fall Missions Conference, children’s missions conference, and prayer letters. |
Children's & Youth Ministries
| The FLOCK | The FLOCK (Faithful Lambs of Christ's Kingdom) is a Sunday evening (6pm) children’s program for school grades kindergarten through 6th grade. FLOCK musicals/children’s choir events are conducted twice per year and are an opportunity to showcase our children’s talents and for them to present the Gospel. Our focus in FLOCK is to help our children grow spiritually while teaching them to worship God in song. |
| Gopher Buddies | Gopher Buddies is a Wednesday evening program designed for our 4 year olds through Pre-school. Our focus is to help our early learners learn Bible stories and Bible verses in a fun and exciting way. |
| Cross Trainers | Cross Trainers is a Wednesday evening program designed for our Kindergarten through 6th graders. This program allows our elementary kids to continue their learning of the Bible, Bible verses, Quiet Time and Christian Service. |
| Youth Ministry | The Youth Ministry serves teens in grades 7-12. We meet regularly for Bible Study, outreach, service projects, and social interaction (a.k.a. FUN!) As a group of teens, we strive to worship God, witness for God, walk for God. We want to help teens become all they can be—fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. |
| Upward | Upward offers boys and girls from Kindergarten through 6th grade the opportunity to participate in cheeleading and basketball. Registration begins in October each year. |
| Vacation Bible School | Vacation Bible School reaches out to the community each summer to attract children of all ages for a week of Bible instruction, games, fun, and skits centered around a new and common theme each year. Forestville has a great reputation for a Vacation Bible School which is exciting and truly extraordinary. |
