Prayer Chain

This is the emergency prayer ministry of our church. Special needs are forwarded to the prayer chain which is made up of men and women who desire to intercede for others. Each member of the prayer chain will receive a phone call notifying him or her of a prayer need and they in turn pass this need on to the next person in the chain. Contact: Kathy Greene

Media Center

Books on spiritual growth, encouraging audio tapes, inspirational and family-oriented videos, resources on religious subjects, and a variety of fiction -- all of these and more can be found in our church Media Center. The media specialists keep our inventory current on the latest Christian resources. These resources are helpful to Sunday School teachers, parents seeking to improve their skills, Christians searching for wholesome fiction, and anyone needing further information on any Christian issue. Our media staff is comprised of a variety of talents, ranging from familiarity with books and library science to creativity in keeping the media center resources publicized, to computer skills. The minimal training needed on the computer system does not require a computer expert -- just a willing learner. Time available during the week or on Sundays is also a great asset.
