GETTING OUT THERE - PART 2


The church is God’s chosen vehicle with which to accomplish His mission on earth, namely, to make disciples of all peoples.  Centerville Community Church desires to be on mission with God, committed to living Christ and sharing Christ in such a way that people’s hearts are open to God’s love, forgiveness and eternal life.

Last week I laid out the things we are doing as examples of Community Engagement.  Today I want you to be aware of opportunities in the area of Support Ministries, the second component of our five core foci.

SUPPORT MINISTRIES
Celebrate Recovery – Led by Adam Leigh and a strong team of people who understand the value of this ministry, Celebrate Recovery helps people get healthy from past wounds and addictions.

Divorce Care – Led by Kathy Purple and Dave Gillespie, Divorce Care brings hope and healing to people during the grief and pain of divorce.

Miami Valley Women’s Center – Though not a direct ministry of CCC we have many people involved in bringing hope and help to women and men dealing with a crisis pregnancy.  This Christ honoring and Christ centered ministry is led by Cindy Good, executive director, and through its ministry hundreds of women and men are loved in Jesus’ name and given biblical and practical help.  It is a joy to hear the testimonies of those who have given their lives to Christ.

Those are the ministries we are currently involved in.  We would like to add the following as leaders are identified:
Grief Share – A ministry to those dealing with the grief and pain of lost loved ones.

ESL – English as a second language – A ministry helping people from other countries develop English speaking skills.

Financial Counseling – Helping people create paths to financial freedom and peace through the biblical principles God has given us.

Feel a draw to any of these ministries?  I’d love to hear from you.
