The Prayer Ministry serves as armor bearers to both the Pastor and church body. We stand in the gap through prayer not just for the sick and troubled, but we lift up the entire congregation to our Lord Jesus Christ throughout the week.  The Prayer Ministry is also responsible for leading the Saturday morning and Mid-week High Noon Prayer Services.  All members of the congregation are invited to come out and participate in these prayer services.

Music at Messiah holds a very special and edifying place in the lives of the congregation for it gives attention to three vital areas, worship, training and evangelism. Worship means that God is given “the glory, praise, honor and thanks due Him, both for who He is and for what He has done.” Training builds and strengthens the body of Christ and aid in spiritual maturation. Evangelism is the act of sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the unsaved. The Holy Scriptures encourages us to always have a song in our hearts.  

Our music ministry will also help provide an opportunity for individuals to explore their gifts and talents that God has given them. We have several anointed choirs for all ages, a male chourus, and a team of skillful musicians who allow the Holy Spirit to have His way as they play upon the instruments which edifies their individual gifts.

Deacons and Trustees are the spiritual Servant-Leaders of the church.  They are so willing to serve that he or she kicks up dust in hurrying about the following ministry duties:

• Oversee and serve the people and ministries of the church so that the Pastor can pray, study, preach, teach, council, visit, and communicate strategic vision for the church.

• Assist the Pastor in the execution of his duties

• Advance and promote unity and harmony in the church

• Address the spiritual needs of the congregation

• Exercise stewardship over church properties and financial affairs

• Advance the cause of evangelism

• Model Christian behavior 

The Ushers and Greeters ministry play an important role in the church service for we are usually the first persons a worshipper meet as they enter the sanctuary.  It’s our purpose and desire to make everyone feel welcome so we extend a hearty enthusiastic greeting and assist with seating.  We also maintain a watchful eye so that we can attend to the needs of the congregation.

The Pastor’s Aid ministy acknowledges and fulfills the need of providing assistance to both the Pastor and their family. This is accomplished by assisting the Pastor in the ministering to the disabled, hospital visitation, support of our youth at and in school functions, comforting families suffering the loss of a loved one and ensuring that funds are raised to provide for the personal needs of the Pastor and his family.

The Youth Ministry is focused on providing Christian experiences, religious instruction and fellowship activities that promote positive attitudes, character and Christian Leadership. Under the guidance of the Youth Council, the youth  and young adults of the church are involved in a variety of ministries that promote spiritual growth and a love for the Church of Jesus Christ.

This ministry is designed to help the new members of the church take the first steps toward meaningful involvement in the life and ministry of the church. Its goal is to encourage and equip each new member to transition in to the life of a Christian and member of Messiah.   

Its objectives include:

• To establish who you are as a Christian and new member

• To determine what the church is and what it does

• To show how the Messiah is organized and how it accomplishes its work

• To determine what you as a new member can do within the life and ministry of the church

This ministry provides seasoned women of God the opportunity to offer spiritual guidance to the congregation.  The women who are a part of this ministry are living examples of Titus 2:3-5, “The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour  as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed”.

The Sunday Church School is the teaching agent of the fellowship.  Jesus taught His disciples and left to them and those to follow the great commission: “Go therefore into all the world, teaching all nations to observe all things”.  The Sunday School doesn’t just teach scripted lessons, but moral and spiritual insight to practical living.   

The annual Vacation Bible School (VBS) falls under the teaching umbrella of the Sunday Church School. The VBS is held in every year the first week of June, placing special emphasis on teaching, fellowshipping and evangelizing to the youth and adults of the church and the surrounding area.
