Empowerment Fellowships

We share together to strengthen each other and to encourage and enrich one another’s lives. We are linked by age, stage, gender or specific status. By serving together we become an effective witness in the world, at work, at home for others in our category.

Empowerment Fellowships

We share together to strengthen each other and to encourage and enrich one another’s lives. We are linked by age, stage, gender or specific status. By serving together we become an effective witness in the world, at work, at home for others in our category.

Marriage Enrichment

For couples who must attend as husband and wife; and those who are anticipating marriage within one year. All present with their spouse or fiancé. To cultivate harmony and enrichment in the marriage union so that it might display the essence of Ephesians 5 and be a model for others in the community and church. Sharing and strengthening the bond of matrimony through dialogue, events, and fellowship.

Singles

For men and women 21 to 35 who are not married. They meet, share and socialize as Christian to foster their lives as saved singles.
