Our
Community
Life
Group
Ministries
Project
What is a
Life Group
Ministry? A
Life Group
Ministry is
a group of
Christians
that meet
together on
a regular
(bi-monthly)
basis and
have a
common
ministry.
Each group
will be
geared
toward a
different
aspect of
Christian
service. The
life group
tries to
encourage
non-Christians
to join and
be involved
in the group
and in that
way, we can
influence
them for the
Lord. You
can be in
more than
one life
group. The
group will
be under the
eldership of
the
Guyandotte
Church of
Christ;
however, the
group will
have an
autonomy
that will
allow them
to be led by
the Holy
Spirit into
new
ministries
for Christ.
These groups
will allow a
Christian to
become
involved in
the service
of the Lord.
We are
called to
serve and to
love our
neighbors as
ourselves.
Here is a
list of the
beginning
life groups:
Lydia's Life
Group -
This life
group
consists of
women only
of any age.
They will
have
fellowship,
crafts, and
service
projects.
The women of
the
congregation
are
encouraged
to sign up.
Leaders:
Juanita
Slater,
Debbie
Shoemaker,
and Phyllis
Shoemaker.
Merciful
Missions Group -
We are to
sow the
seed. There
are plenty
of physical
needs in the
community as
well as
throughout
the country.
They will
develop,
plan, and
execute
ideas for
helping
local
families and
individuals.
This could
involve
food,
clothing,
school
supplies,
media such
as print,
video,
audio, etc.
They will
develop
projects to
spread the
word of God
in various
ways. This
group will
also be
involved in
distant
missions, as
well as
yearly
mission
trips.
Leaders:
Anita
Adkins,
Jerry
Shoemaker,
Joyce
Martin,
Sherry
Hutton, and
Steve
Bumgarner.
Tutoring
Life Group -
Since
Guyandotte
has an
abundance of
children in
the area,
some need
help with
school
subjects
such as
math,
spelling,
reading,
etc. This
life group
ministry
will develop
ways to help
tutor the
local
children and
teach adults
to read and
write. They
will develop
the
volunteers,
schedules,
and
materials
that would
be used for
this
ministry.
Leaders:
Mikaela
Perry, and
Keith
Thomas.
