Ministry Profiles

CHILDREN'S MINISTRY- The children's ministry is a teaching ministry that provides Spiritual training, which will build the foundation for a child in establishing a meaningful, Christ centered life. It is designed to bring children into the knowledge of Jesus Christ and lead them into salvation, baptism in the Holy Spirit and allow them to experience the power of God. It also provides activities of a social nature, such as visiting museums, zoos, amusement park, etc. in order to provide an environment for fun and fellowship. This ministry serves all children from newborns to age 10.

CHOIRS- Faith Center Ministries has four choirs: Voices of Faith (youth/young adult members) which sings once a month; Voices of Praise (young adult/adult members) which sings twice a month in our late morning services; Voices of Koinonia (adult choir) which sings twice a month in our early morning services; and Angelic Praise Children's Choir, which sings once a month. These choirs deliver the gospel through song. They expect souls to be saved, people healed, and Spirits uplifted by the words and music. The choirs help to set the tone of a service. Members are expected to display a Christian attitude at all times and they are expected to represent God and Faith Center Ministries where ever they go!

DANCE MINISTRY- The purpose of the praise dance ministry is to provide a visual representation of God's Word. While hearing the Word plants the seed of faith in the mind of the hearer, doing the Word (dancing the Word) causes fruition. When we can visualize the nature and character of God, we can better understand Him and worship him. To minister effectively, the minister must allow the Holy Spirit to be the choreographer. The minister of the dance must be both anointed and competent.

DRAMA MINISTRY- The mission of the drama is to change lives by ministering to people through skits and plays. The plays or skits may be humorous or serious, but they always carry the message of Salvation. The drama ministry has the opportunity to minister throughout the year on occasions such as Christmas or Resurrection Day. This is a powerful ministry that captures the attention of many. FAMILY AND FRIENDS PROGRAM- This is a voluntary program that gives members the opportunity to formally invite family and friends to attend the church services on a particular day. Formal invitations are sent out to each family or friend. The intent of the ministry is also for church growth whereby, if one's family or friends are not members of other churches, they have the opportunity to join Faith Center Ministries.

MARRIED COUPLE'S FELLOWSHIP- Couples Fellowship at Faith Center Ministries has three chief priorities. As God established marriage as His first and most important institution, that automatically puts it on Satan's number one agenda. So, our first priority is to educate and strengthen the marriages that our Father has seen fit to bring to Faith Center Ministries. This is done through education on communication, sex, money matters and issues that couples face in their ever day walk with the Lord. The Second priority is the training up of Saints. Matthew wrote in verse 13 we are the salt of the earth, and so many of us have the opportunity to witness to those in our environment on how to have a Christ centered marriage, not only through our words, but our lifestyle as well. This brings us to the instruction part of our ministry. We are instructing couples on how to deal with their peers in the workplace and other social environments. The final and most important part of our ministry is realizing that many people may not feel led to come to a traditional church service, due to some convoluted beliefs or perhaps some challenges they may have faced in their history. We have the opportunity to show them the "Side door" into a Christian life. Through our outreach programs the average couple can possibly invite someone who does not attend church, may not be saved, or may not have a revelation of who God really is.

MEN'S MINISTRY- This ministry is the vehicle for uniting all men of the church as well as ministering to men that are in the community. The focus is to help the men grow together as a spiritual body. The activity of fellowship is a key component to establishing trust amongst the men; thereby making the growing process easier. Through this ministry, members also have the opportunity to reach out to lost souls through different events such as sports, church services and fellowship breakfasts.

PRAYER MINISTRY- The prayer ministry is a powerful ministry that intercedes on behalf of Faith Center Ministries. Members of this ministry keep the church, the Pastor and family, leadership and church body affairs covered in prayer. They also intercede before and during worship services. Prayer shut-ins, prayer seminars and training sessions are organized by this ministry.

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM - This program is sponsored by the Christian Education Department. The scholarship program was created in order to empower young people with the knowledge, tools and funding to pursue their education experience and vocational careers. The scholarship consists of the following areas: producing an annual awards banquet or showcase event; disseminating information by publishing a scholarship and grants newsletter; researching and obtain government funding; researching and obtain private corporate funding; establishing a program to accept applications, evaluate and award recipients; and provide for information and training empowerment seminars.

SIGN LANGUAGE MINISTRY- The purpose of the sign language ministry is to translate and communicate the spoken word through American Sign Language to members and guest who are unable to hear. Members of this ministry communicate through sign language at both services and during praise songs, and at the Beverly Manor Convalescent Care Center.

SINGLES MINISTRY - This ministry has been created for those who are unmarried and over the age of 25 years old. Members are able to fellowship together in a supportive atmosphere. Members share experiences and thoughts regarding the Christian single life. Through this ministry, members gain the knowledge necessary in order to live a fulfilling and Holy life. Activities include attending conferences, reading books and discussions about what is means to be holy, happy and single.

SPORTS MINISTRY- Provides evangelistic opportunities using sports and recreation to reach those who are not saved and those who do not attend church regularly. This ministry uses mature Christians to demonstrate how to compete with a Christ-like attitude, in a highly competitive atmosphere. Members have an opportunity to participate in several sporting events and activities, have fun and minister to others at the same time.
