Aside from Education events
and classes, we also provide opportunities for
ministry. One
can serve on a variety of ministry teams.
These teams are developed as needed for
specific ministries.
In 2005 we modified our Executive Board
structure to reflect this attitude as a more fluid
style of leadership.
The Board is now made up of 4 elected officers,
(Moderator, Treasurer, Clerk and Financial Secretary)
plus 6 members at large.
In this format we have eliminated standing
committees in favor of developing ministry teams as
needed. This
has been a learning process but it does enable people
to give of their time and talents in more defined
areas of their interest.
Members are encouraged to become part of a
ministry team or if they are led by God to bring a new
ministry to the church; with the Boards approval; they
are encouraged to bring that leadership to action.
We are always open to new ideas and ministries
as they relate to our church body and the community.
Of course, don't
forget these opportunities:
American Baptist Men
(ABM)
-- meet every third Saturday for a Men's Breakfast,
brief study, and more. The "more" can
be going golfing or fishing, doing a service project
for the community, going on a short road trip,
etc. They have taken a trip to Cabella's already
this year! They also prepare a Church Breakfast
every 3rd Sunday and serve at 8:45 AM.
American Baptist
Women (ABW)
-- meet every second Thursday of the
month. The projects of ABW include serving
funeral lunches and wedding receptions as
needed. Support local mission projects like
Doorstep, The Rescue Mission and our own Mitten
Patch. We provide concern, support and
fellowship to one another and provide small gifts,
prayers and concerns for our Special Interest
Missionaries. Also, we contribute to the Central
Region Project of ABWM, which helps with supplies,
surgery and research for the women of Nigeria who have
been injured during childbirth.
Gage Park Needle
Bees / Threads of Life -- meet at the church on the
third Saturday of the month at 9:00 AM. Although
we are all "quilters," this group is open to
anyone who enjoys any type of needlework or
craft. It is a great time of fun, fellowship and
being Crafty. We would love to have you join us!
