Ministries
The following page provides details about the general schedule of our various activities, meetings, and ministries. However, we sometimes change which weeks they may fall or have to cancel them altogether. We try our best to post these changes on the website, but feel free to email us or check out our Facebook page for the latest updates.
women on mission
Once a month the women in our church gather for Women on Mission. A major part of our outreach, the Women on Mission gather to determine which ministries or faith-based charities our church will partner with on a given month, to pray for and donate toward supporting them. We contribute regularly to the Backpack Program, a program that helps feed underprivileged students at schools; we support ministries like the Missouri Baptist Children’s Home, which oversees a Christian orphanage and a refuge for women fleeing domestic abuse; as well as many others. All women are invited to participate.
The first Wednesday of every month at 6:30 pm.
member meetings
During this meeting, we gather to discuss updates, matters, and concerns in the church. Every member is invited to join as we talk about what’s going on in the life of our church and plan for the future.
The second Wednesday of every month at 6:30 pm.
prayer meetings
Open for everyone who wants to come, we meet at this time simply to pray. We go over our church prayer list, discuss and update it as needed, and pray over it. We pray for one another as we bear one another’s burdens (Gal. 6:2). We pray for our church and for God’s guidance as we seek to obey Him. And we pray for our community, other churches, and the world.
The third Wednesday of every month at 6:30 pm.
Family night is simply a gathering where we enjoy a meal together. We always have a wide range of food brought by the members of our church. Everyone is invited to come, eat home-cooked meals, and enjoy some community.

The fourth Wednesday of every month at 6:30 pm.
Besides an ongoing outreach, if a “fifth Wednesday” occurs in a month, we will use that time as a church to do some form of outreach. Whether that be two-by-two evangelism, prayer walking, or gathering to pray for Springfield, we want to use that opportunity to engage our community. Sometimes we may use our Sunday evenings for this purpose as well. Our desire is simply to be obedient and to share the great joy of the gospel.
outreach
Ongoing / The fifth Wednesday of any given month at 6:30 pm.
On the last Saturday of every month, our men gather for breakfast and an hour-long discipleship meeting. The goal is to spur one another on in the faith and in good works (Col. 1:9-14), particularly through accountability, confession, theology, Bible study, and service.
