Our programs for children and youth provide a fun, age-appropriate environment where they can be transformed by God's love and guided by Jesus' truth while making wonderful new friends. Serving opportunities exist both mid-week and on Sundays. Some roles include serving on Dinner Teams, Tech Teams, Teaching Teams, Nursery Care Teams - or as Small Group Leaders, Classroom Teachers and Assistants - the possibilities are endless!
ADULT MINISTRIES
Adult Ministries are helping people to grow in their faith and connect with others in real and authentic ways every week - which means there are all sorts of ways to serve in Adult Ministries!

We have Office Administrative Teams, Outreach Marketing, Business Management, Hospitatlity Team, and Property Teams that help make life at Light of Christ happen.
SERVING IN OUR COMMUNITY & BEYOND
COMMUNITY CARE TEAMS
Jesus calls us to "love our neighbor", so we've strategically created opportunities to consistently be serving our surrounding community. A few of our Community Care ministries include: Food Pantry, Golden Diners ("Meals on Wheels"), Branching Out Tutoring, S.O.S. (Servants Out Serving), and Turning Point - to name just a few.
INTO KENYA
SPONSOR A CHILD PROGRAM
The mission of IntoKenya is to provide life-changing opportunities for the orphans and vulnerable children of Irechelo Village in Kenya, Africa, by providing safe water, constructing a building for gatherings, and providing resources to support their educational, physical, and spiritual development. You can help make an impact by supporting a life-changing opportunity for orphan and vulnerable children to attend school and the systems that need to be in place to make this happen. These include: (1) Providing school uniforms as children cannot attend school without one. (2) Providing one meal a day during the school day. It may be the only meal the child gets. (3) Pay school fees and needed educational resources. To learn more about this sponsorship opportunity, visit the IntoKenya website HERE.
NATIONAL & INTERNATIONAL SERVING OPPORTUNITIES
We believe that it is our mandate to carry the Good News "to the ends of the earth", so we've teamed up with other national and international organizations to provide opportunities for this congregation to serve beyond our backyard. These organizations include Appalachia Service Project ("ASP" Adult Mission Trips), Feed My Starving Children, ELCA World Relief, Team World Vision, Samaritan's Purse (Operation Christmas Child), and more.
