We offer a nursery area for infants and toddlers that is adjacent to the sanctuary so parents are only steps away from their children as they drop them off with our trained staff of childcare workers.

Workers provide dependable care so parents may enjoy a worry free worship experience.  A restroom and changing table are available in the nursery area.

Children will enjoy beginning the worship service with their parents for the music portion of the adult service.  Especially enjoyable is the special Children's Message each week and the time with Pastor Carl and others as they bring Biblical principles alive with objects and stories that will entertain all ages.  After the Children's Message, the elementary age children go to their own worship service tailored to their age group.

Sunday School classes are offered at 9 AM on Sunday for each age group where children learn about the Bible and God's love for us.

Each year we also have several special programs geared to our elementary age group.  These include Vacation Bible School each summer as well as Christmas programs and other special events to help make being involved in church fun, and help the children develop their faith.

Adult ministries are many and varied.  They include:

Young Adults "The CREW" meet on Sunday evenings at 7:00 pm in the church basement. This lively and active group does Bible Studies and mission projects and, at least one fun activity each month. Occasionally they will do a major renovation project.  They recently made an unused storage room into a beautiful video room in the church basement.  They followed that with a facelift of the old, outdated kitchen into a beautiful, functional classroom/kitchen for all to enjoy.  While doing this work, they not only built new rooms, more importantly, they built a community.

Adult Sunday School Class meets each Sunday at 9:00 at the church.  This classroom style Bible study covers different books of the Bible and offers lively discussions for adults of all ages.

Family Prayer Service (where all we do is pray)  Each Tuesday at 3:30pm our faithful prayer warriors meet to pray for our church, community, neighboring churches, pastors, local and national political leaders and the many special prayer requests we receive.   

Bible study at Golden Living Center meets each Tuesday at 9:30.  Roger and Virginia Peters enjoy studying the Bible and learning from the wisdom of the nursing home residents.  Music is enjoyed by all.

Adult Choir meets each Wednesday evening at 6:30 during the school year.  You don't need to be able to read music, we will teach you a part.  If you like to sing, you are welcome.  We have a lot of fun and we sing for the glory of God.  Our choir director Leland Foreman says,"We even need a few people who can lip sync" 

Men's Bible study meets each Wednesday at 9:00am. Our men's group goes beyond just a Bible Study. Together we do projects, laugh, study, grow, go fishing and camping, cook and enjoy ball games together. 

Women's Ministries currently meets on the first Thursday of the month. Called "Women of the Church",  this group generally meets at 2:00, but call the church because they might be meeting for lunch somewhere or taking a trip to the Safari Zoo at Mahoney State Park.  Don't let that fool you though, these ladies are serious about missions and complete several mission tasks each year.   

Topical Bible studies meet at various times and places.  Some meet at the church and others in private homes.   Currently a group is meeting in the church basement at 6:30 on Thursday and working together on developing healthy eating and living habits as they walk through "The Daniel Plan".  Another group that formed after our recent Israel trip and meets in the church basement on Tuesday at 7:00pm. They are studying the Ray VanderLaan video series "That the World May Know"

As we are affiliated with multiple  denominations, we support many missions, both domestic and foreign through these denominations.  Our Women of the Church help with many of these denominational missions, whether it is by rolling bandages or filling shoeboxes with personal items.  As a church we support many local missions: food pantries, school supplies, and Christmas gifts for needy families just to name a few.  We also have selected some individuals to support, some working with large mission groups, others working independently.  Here is a sample of the missions and ministries we support. 

Haiti Health Ministries was the destination for our mission trip in 2008.  Our group was blessed as they ministered to the patients who came to the clinic. Visit haiti Health Ministries

Steve and Linda Walters work with the Navigators in their micro loan program in Africa.  Each year Steve takes several businessmen to African nations to teach business skills and strategic thinking to recipients of the loan program.  If you have business skills, you may be eligible to travel on one of these trips.  Since the recipients are college educated and speak English, this is one of the more non threatening trips to take. You may contact Steve and Linda here

We have the honor of having several Christian Camps to work with and each one has its own unique style of ministry and facility.  We support all of these camps as a church and send youth and adults to activities at each one.  Camping isn't just for kids in the summer anymore, as there are family activities scheduled throughout the year at each of these camps.

Camp Calvin Crest is our Presbyterian Camp and it is located in the bluffs overlooking the Platte River near Fremont.  You can access their website here

Camp Fontanelle is our local United Methodist Camp.  It is located just North of Fremont in a beautiful setting.  It features high ropes and tree houses.  You can access their website here

Project Loves and Fishes was begun by a few men deciding to provide a free meal for our community. since they overpurchased food for the first meal, they decided to offer a second.  Individuals donated enough money for them to buy more food for more meals and within the first year over 5000 free meals had been served within our community.  The meals continue and are served at the community building on Sunday nights from  5-6:30 PM.

 Care-A-Van is a local transportation ministry begun through our church then spun off into its own seperate entity.  Care-A-Van, Inc. provides free transportation to the elderly and disabled of western Douglas County.  Most of the trips are to medical appointments but it also takes a bus trip twice a month to the Wal Mart in Fremont.  Though we have no formal relationship with Care-A-Van, many of the volunteer drivers are from our church and they use our facilities for office space and to park vehicles.  Our pastor and several members of our church are on the Care-A-Van board.  To volunteer or if you need a ride, please call 402 359-8634 or email Care-A-Van at careavan01@yahoo.com

Community Garden plots are available to members of the community at large and are located on land behind the church building at the corner of West Street and Valley Street.  Please contact the church office to reserve a plot for next year.
