Descriptions of our Ministries:

Sunday School : We have a 7th-9th grade class and a 10th-12th grade class that meets at 9:55 upstairs in the family life building. We begin with announcements, prayer and donuts before and then we break up into the individual classes.

Youth Worship : We meet each Sunday night at 7:00pm for games, worship, and awesomeness upstairs in the gym. Music is led by our praise band and worship leader Tom Edwards.  Sprinkled with an element of fun, the night includes speakers and programs that help students to be lead into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.  We exist to provide an atmosphere for worship and discipleship and to give students the tools necessary to follow Jesus.  This happens through all programs, but especially on this night!

Small Groups : During the school year we meet for small groups immediately after the Wednesday evening meal. Small groups are lead by adult and college volunteers who invest in the lives of our students. The focus is Bible study, fellowship and accountability.

Prayer Breakfast : Each Tuesday morning (during the school calendar), 6:45 AM at Chick-Fil-A we meet for breakfast and a short devotional/prayer. Transportation is provided to all the schools.

Elevation Weekend : A weekend retreat after the first home football game of the CHS schedule in August. It is a great start to the new semester to be both challenged and encouraged while enjoying the company of other fellow students!

BreakThru : (Christmas Break) A major winter retreat that happens at Camp Timber Creek just south of Forest, MS. Our church has a long history w/ BreakThru. It is designed for students grades 7-12.

BigStuf: (Summer) A fantastic beach retreat on the shores of Panama City Beach, Florida. A great mix of worship, teaching, and fun!

Spring Break Trips : We have done everything from Ski Trips to beach trips, mountain retreats, and mission work. Each time is quite the adventure.

Mission Trips : Each year there are multiple opportunities to serve both locally and abroad. There are mission outreaches here in the Metro area, on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and even in Eastern Europe and Central America.
