“Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me. Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. ”

Opportunities Spotlight
Christ Church Fellowship
Small Groups
Corporate times of worship and fellowship are awesome, but we see tremendous value in providing opportunities in smaller, more intimate settings to strengthen each believer. As a community of believers we are committed to joining together and developing relationships leading to spiritual growth, opportunities to be effective in ministry, and occasions when we can be genuinely involved in each others’ lives. Often this kind of authentic relationship and intimacy is realized outside of our Sunday morning celebrations. Therefore, we encourage each individual and family to reach out and find their place in a smaller group relationship within God’s local family. Even Jesus participated in a smaller group.

Christ Church Fellowship Teens
This younger generation is experiencing a crisis of conscience like never before in history. Social anxieties and digital distractions are bombarding this group at every turn, every minute of every day. Even though this generation is under direct assault, they have the capacity to advance God's kingdom and become significant influencers in our society. They are the future, yet the battle for a generation that is less God-focused and more self-focused than ever before will be won only as they discover and embrace their true calling in the love of Christ. Teens today have high expectations and believe they can change the world. God has made this generation that way - more edgy, more social, and more willing to step out and take risks. They really do have the capacity to connect with and influence the world. We believe teens and youth in general can be fully engaged in an authentic relationship with Jesus Christ. Our goal is to help teens realize their highest hopes and expectations by introducing them to the Savior and redirecting them to lean more intentionally into His grace.

Christ Church Fellowship
Children & Youth
We are committed to providing the love, protection, support, and instruction needed to assist each family with encouraging faithfulness, fruitfulness, and spiritual growth with our children. Classes meet weekly during church times to provide spiritual instruction and encourage real relationship with Christ and each other. In addition, we are committed to safeguarding and protecting each child we serve - therefore we adhere to strict guidelines for reducing the risks for abuse and properly train, screen (including background checks), and monitor all our church ministry staff and volunteers. Ultimately, we trust that each parent will be responsible for their child’s spiritual formation and promote participation in routine opportunities for worship and fellowship.
