Teen fellowship in a Christian setting is vital for the spiritual development of our young people. Such opportunities have been provided through Sunday School and the following activities: Bowling, ski trips, horseback riding, canoeing, ice skating, theme dinners, camp retreats, field trips and their own group called FUEL that meets on Tuesday nights for Bible study, fellowship and prayer.
All age groups benefit from a trip to camp. Scioto Hills Camp* offers excellent facilities for all seasons to get away from daily concerns and enjoy fellowship and learning in a spiritual atmosphere. There is a summer camp for the children, adult retreats, men's retreat, women's retreat, and youth retreats. Provides activities for those whose children have grown and gone or who have retired. There are opportunities for service such as visiting sick and holding mobile services for the shut-ins, give a helping hand when needed. Social activities such as sight seeing trips, luncheons, dinner parties, etc. promotes fellowship.
With its combination of words and harmony, music has a special way of conveying scriptural truth and provides an additional means of worship. The choir brings special music to our services and offers cantatas for special occasions. There are opportunities of service for individuals with voice or instrumental talents. A children's choir periodically presents music for the worship services.

Designed to help parents meet the challenges of today's society, periodic classes are conducted aimed at parenting according to scriptural principles. Young families benefit from films, lectures, and group input as well as God's Word.
Contact with our community is vital to our growth and our responsibility to share our faith with others. Weekly calling is designed to establish contact with people new to the area, find those who may need a church home and present the gospel message to those who will listen.
Jesus prayed that we "may be as one". To encourage that oneness, we have scheduled periodic fellowship activities for every age. These activities include not only service projects, but also picnics, retreats, pot luck dinners, and gatherings designed to minister to missionaries home on furlough. Some of these fellowship groups include, the Ladies of Hope, Men's Prayer Group, Summer Men's Golf league, and the Mature & Motivated.
