Romans 13:11-12 is the background scripture for Awake Youth Ministries. We believe this passage and we live it out in our lives. We will not turn a blind eye to the things of this world and. We encourage our teens to put on the full armor of God everyday to protect them from the evil in our world.
It is the heart and mission of the Flock Children's MInistry to develop the next generation to become fully devoted followers of Christ. Focused on taking care of K-5th children. The Flock is devoted to helping the children of The Shepherds House establish a foundation in the word of God. The Flock is more than just a children's ministry; we consider ourselves a family ministry. We believe that where there are healthy families, you'll find healthy children. Our goal is to come alongside your family to help your children learn what it means to love God with all their heart and love others as themselves. (Deut 6:5-9)
Women's Ministries
"But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness." Hebrews 3:13
We need each other. Sometimes life is hard, and we aren't strong enough on our own. Sometimes life is confusing, and we don't know what to do. Sometimes life makes us want to crawl in a hole and disappear. God gives us friends for times like these.
We need the wisdom of women who have gone ahead of us...they have been through the terrible two's, little league, teenagers, and the empty nest...and LIVED to tell about it!
We need the fresh enthusiasm and encouragement of the women who are going through similar life circumstances. BUT, we also need to reach out to others...be there for them in their hard times...be there to laugh with them...be there to cheer them on. NOT the way the world teaches us, but the way Jesus teaches us in HIS Word.
That's what GIRL TIME (women's ministries) at The Shepherd's House is all about...women sharing life and figuring out how to follow Jesus TOGETHER. Are we perfect? No. Do we mess it up sometimes? Yes. But through it all, we stay together, through the grace of God, and keep going TOGETHER.
MEN'S MINISTRIES
Historically and biblically, men have been essential to the fulfillment of the Church's mission and spread of the gospel. Men have served in crucial positions of leadership in all areas of ministry, clergy and lay, domestic and international.
The purpose of Men's Ministries is to assist and encourage all men of our church to enrich their lives and Christian walk through a variety of opportunities. These opportunities include not only activities that provide for receiving encouragement, camaraderie, and spiritual support, but also those that provide support, outreach, and service to the many other ministries within our church and community.
