Church ministries
& programs
All our ministry programs are designed to be biblically-based, Christ-centered and applicable to today's often complex world. Meeting the needs of the members of our church family, however, does not mean compromise or complacency. Rather, we look at ministry in light of God's word and its application in the world in which we live. Thus our church motto, "Living faith for the real world!"
The following are some of the more important programs at SCC, listed in no particular order.
Music Ministry
The purpose of Christian music (in particular, Christian worship) is to glorify the Father and praise the Son through the ministry and power of the Holy Spirit. When music is biblical, it will focus our hearts and minds upon the Lord Jesus Christ and the work that He is doing - in the world, in our midst, and in our lives.
Throughout history the Holy Spirit has inspired the church with beautiful, worshipful music, and we rejoice in this gift and the talented Christian musicians who have brought this gift to life. Our music ministry celebrates all the best of Christian worship, from contemporary songs to the classic hymns of the Christian tradition.
Nursery, Children, and Youth Ministries
Our children and youth are precious to us. The Bible tells us, they are a gift from the Lord and our heritage. Therefore, we consider our ministry to the youth and children (from the youngest to the oldest) to be of the utmost importance. Therefore, all of our youth and children's classes (for all ages), are Biblically-based, Christ-centered, safe and enjoyable for leaning and growing in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.
PLEASE NOTE: For safety purposes, all of our children's and youth ministry workers and helpers are pre-screened, given ongoing instruction, and receive a complete background check to help insure the safest possible ministry environment for our youth and children. Their comfort and safety is important to us!
Nursery: (three months through about two years)
From about 10:00 am on Sunday morning, the nursery area is unattended but available for use. A nursery attendant is available for ministry to our youngest saints (ages 3 months through 2 years) immediately following the song service.
Children’s Church: (about three years through twelve years)
Following the song service, the children are dismissed to Children's Church. Our Youth Ministries programs are designed to provide enjoyable, Christ-centered, biblically-based instruction for our younger saints. This takes place during the time of the ministry of the word in the main congregational area.
Youth Group: (thirteen through eighteen years)
Ministry activities for our youth are scheduled on an occasional basis. With the current number of our youth attending outside activities (school, sports, etc.), as well as home and family requirements, our ministry to our youth must be scheduled on an intermittent basis. Our youth are an important part of our church body, and therefore, they are always welcome (and encouraged) to participate in the other functions and activities of the church. Watch the church bulletin for scheduled activities.
Women’s Fellowship:
The women of SCC meet for fellowship, Bible Study and personal ministry at various times throughout the year. Their get-togethers are designed to allow for fellowship, sharing, and the study of topics of particular interest to women. All women (ages thirteen and over) are welcome to attend. Visitors are always welcome. Watch the church bulletin for days, dates, times and activities.
Men’s Fellowship Breakfast:
The first Saturday of each month the SCC men meet for a 'no-host' fellowship breakfast at the church. (That means bring your own breakfast if you want more than the donuts and coffee that are provided).
It's a great time for the men to get together, eat, talk and to get to know one another.
We meet at the church at 9:00am and finish between 10:30 and 11:00 am. All men are welcome (no age limit, so bring the boys). Visitors are always welcome, so bring your friends.
