Family Worship
We believe it is important to have times for all the members of a family to be in church together, so we have family worship as well as other times designed for children to be taught at an age appropriate level. Our Sunday 10:30 service is designed for the entire family (age 3rd grade and up, at the parents discretion stay in the main church service). This worship service serves as a time for children to not only learn about faith, but also the task of simply sitting and listening. That being said we also understand church can be an adjustment, so we have flexibility built into it our 10:30 kids class, where newer church members can attend that class as they get acclimated.
Discipleship
It ought to be the desire of every Christian to be grounded in their faith and learn answers to their spiritual questions. Our personal discipleship program will place you with an experienced Christian who will help guide you in your new-found faith so that you can learn how to apply the Bible to your own life. Lord willing, you will be able to be strong enough in your faith to teach, witness and disciple other new converts.
Community Outreach
Members are encouraged to participate in various community outreach programs throughout the year in the Painesville area. During our outreach time together, we will pass out flyers containing the gospel message and an invite to an upcoming event. We also will visit older members who are unable to attend services and spend time reaching the lost with the Gospel of Christ. It is the church’s duty to fulfill the Great Commission, and all year long we try to do our part.
Patch The Pirate Club
Each Sunday afternoon this group (2nd grade to 6th grade) gather for a time to perform skits, sing songs, learn memory verses and hear missionary stories. This time is used to experience how serving God with our gifts and talents is not only what God desires, but loads of fun. Watch as your child see’s their part in the church body and grows in their Christlikeness.
Peewee Club
Each Wednesday our PeWee Club sailors (ages potty trained to 1st grade) Learn about God, His love, His Word and have a great time doing it. They to learn how to perform songs that reinforce good and Godly character. They make crafts, play games, enjoy snacks, learn to love others, obey mom and dad, and God given authority.
Preachin' & Eatin'
Each Sunday following our morning service many stay to have lunch together before our 1pm afternoon session! This wonderful fellowship time gives us an opportunity to enjoy friendships and feed the body before more spiritual food is served up in the afternoon. We welcome everyone to stay, there’s always room at the table!
Teen Answers
Each week ages 7th grade through 12th have an age-appropriate lesson directly from Pastor Daniel where they learn that the Bible has the “Answers”. This group meets each Wednesday and their attendance, service and Sunday “note taking” earns them points toward their quarterly reward! What have we don’t so far? Whirly ball, Adrenaline Monkey, bowling and Escape Rooms are just a few of the adventures we’ve had!
Titus 2
Throughout the year the ladies and young ladies meet to teach and learn fun life skills. From picking fruit and making applesauce or jelly from it, to baking homemade bread and sewing clothes. Join us as we learn or hand down fun practical skills that glorify our creator and bless others.
Nursery
For those families who have children three and under, we have a nursery available for each service. Our workers’ special care of the children will give you the peace of mind knowing that your children are taken care of. We have clean toys for the children to play with and snacks for the older children.
*Please let the nursery worker know of any allergies or sickness
Counseling
The Bible is an extremely powerful book and it is our desire to help you apply Bible truths to your everyday life. Some of the best and most helpful counseling you can receive is from Pastor Novy's weekly preaching services. From these messages you will learn what the Bible says, why it is important, and how to apply it to your life.
If you have a specific need that you would like to speak to the pastor about, we would love to hear from you and schedule a time to meet your needs. Pastor Novy, through the authority of the Word of God, can give biblical principles for marriage, family, finances, and other spiritual needs. Please call the church to set up an appointment.
