Where Can I Serve?

Jesus told us, his disciples, to make disciples of all nations. One of the most important values of this church is our mission to the world. It begins in our own community, and spreads overseas to every nation. Church members are involved in a variety of ministries from things as simple as answering the phones, to preparing the church bulletins.

Mission Outreach

We serve a magnificently gracious God who has forgiven our sins and has satisfied our souls and because we love Him, we desire to “proclaim His excellencies” to all who will listen. Our Outreach Ministry seeks to instruct and equip The Refreshing Center members in the obedient and joyful pursuit of that Great Commission (cf. Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8) by taking the Gospel to our local community.

Our philosophy of ministry regarding evangelism is as follows:

God-centered rather than man-centered,
Theology-driven rather than method-driven,
Discipleship-oriented rather than social-oriented

Music & Dance

God-honoring worship is something we strive for. Many church members get involved in our music and dance ministries. Some play their instruments and some are vocalists. While others get involved in dance ministry. These volunteers are an important part of the ministry of our church, using their talents and gifts to glorify God.

Ushers

The usher team at our church fills an important role. They are involved in directing attendees to their seats, ensuring the safety of the building during services, guiding traffic, helping visitors, answering questions, providing direction, unlocking doors, locking doors, and generally ensuring that the service can proceed problem-free. The usher team is a servant group of men and women whose ministry is integral to church life.

Media & Technology

Using media to spread the gospel is a privilege of this church. In an age of widespread technology, we have a stewardship to use these tools as best as possible for kingdom purposes. All of our weekly sermons are uploaded to our website in video and/or audio formats. We also maintain an active Facebook and Twitter feed for additional church communication

Prayer Warriors

Prayer cannot be overestimated. Prayer moves the hand of God. Our Church is a body of believers dependent upon prayer, and committed to God’s sovereignty. Each Sunday, during the morning service, a team of volunteers is praying for the ministry of the Word. Throughout the week, volunteers from our Prayer Warriors team pray for their pastor, a list of church members, any special requests, and missionary prayer needs. Each Wednesday, the church comes together for a special time of prayer and Bible study.
