Men’s Group
On Monday nights a group of men meet at 7pm. This group gives guys an opportunity to gather together to grow in what it truly means to “Act like men!” (1 Cor. 16:13-14). This group enjoys sharing time in God’s Word, life experiences, service projects, and good food with one another.
Women of Grace
On the second Thursday of each month a group of women meet for Women of Grace. These ladies gather to look into God’s Word, hear from others, and also to serve in different capacities. This is a time to find encouragement and others to grow with.

At the end of each month, ladies gather at a different restaurant to encourage one another and share in friendship.

Marksman Ministries
During the months of June through August, kids (ages 6-12) are given hands-on experience and the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of marksmanship with a gun and a bow while at the same time receiving essential truths to live by from God’s Word. Each night is also ended with hot dogs, chips, and drinks around a campfire. All of this takes place at “The Good Place” (off Route 22 West).

Christ-Centered Basketball Camp
Every summer we look to encourage young athletes by providing a FREE day camp for 1st-6th graders focused on teaching basic basketball skills and encouraging the sacrifice it takes to succeed, not only as a player but also in life. All instruction is done by coaches, former college athletes, and current high school players. As part of the day Kids receive a shirt, bracelet, do drills, compete for prizes, and showcase all that they learned for parents/guardians.
Outdoor Extravaganza
On the second Saturday in August we put together a professional 3D Archery Shoot for bow hunters and enthusiasts. Our course is comprised of 25 animal targets of all shapes and sizes. The competition is separated into 3 divisions with a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prize in each. Shooters are also given the opportunity to win door prizes along with a grand prize. With the Shoot, there are also games provided for younger kids to compete in and win prizes plus we end the day with a picnic. This is something to bring the whole family to enjoy.
