MINISTRIES
MINISTRIES
Below we have a list of all the ministries offered here at FWC. We want you to feel as comfortable as possible when joining one of them. We believe that engaging in fellowship is a very important tool when growing to be more like Jesus. The encouragment of others is a powerful thing.
Group Gatherings
Every Ministry has an entrance point, an event either weekly or monthly that allows you to get involved and begin to grow and develop relationships with other believers. Below each ministry you will find this info.
FWC KIDS
The Kids Ministry here at Family Worship Center wants to team with parents to “Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.” (Proverbs 22:6) Our goal for kid’s ministry is to share the truth of the Gospel with children, lead them to accepting Christ as their Lord and Savior, and equip them as they begin their life long journey of following Him. How do we do this?
AWANA
AWANA is a national program that focuses on Scripture Memorization and Biblical Literacy. Each week we come together in age-appropriate groups to work on scripture memorization and play games. Our High School Awana program has several National Titles in the annual AWANA competitions. Sign up at the beginning of each new school year - space is limited.
STUDENTS
1 Timothy 4:12 “Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith and your purity.” Students are called to set the standard for the believers. The goal FWC Student Ministry is to come along side parents, helping encourage students to be life-long followers of Christ, challenging them to “Be an example to all believers” through relevant Bible studies, genuine worship, earnest prayer and Christ-centered events.

APOLOGETICS
Have you ever asked or been asked a question about Christianity that you didn’t know how to answer? The Bible tells us to “be ready always to give an answer to anyone who asks the reason for the hope that’s in us” (1 Peter 3:15) which is what apologetics equips us to do. Apologetics comes from the Greek (Apologia) and means to give a reason or defense for the Christian faith.
CELEBRATE RECOVERY
