Sunday
Worship |
Scripture
Readers
read the Sunday text for either service. Readers usually read every
other month & do not meet as
a team. |
Sound
System/Tape Team
We have two teams (1st
& 2nd service) who oversee the media and technical components of
running each worship service.
This requires some computer knowledge and a willingness to sit “behind
the scenes”. |
| Communion
Preparation Team provide
and prepare bread and grape juice for monthly communion. |
Prayer
Team
The CKMC prayer team prays for the concerns of the church family.
They are also available for one-to one intercessory prayer following
the Sunday worship services. This team meets monthly for prayer,
training and encouragement. Contact Pastor Frank, and/or come to the
next prayer team meeting! |
The
Welcome/Greeter Teams
are often the first persons a newcomer sees at CKMC. The impression
they give is the "first impression" of who we are as a
church family. They can also set the tone of the church day for
newcomer or old timer alike. It is a vital role and brings real
satisfaction when your cherry "Good Morning!" brings a
smile to a face. Other tasks include making "stick
on" nametags for newcomers and offering literature &
directions. They stay at the table for the first few minutes of the
service to welcome late visitors and make sure that a permanent
nametag is prepared for all our regular worshippers! |
Refreshments
Teams
(Feeding the Flock)
The goal of this ministry is for church members & newcomers
to have an extended opportunity to get to know one another, ask
questions about our church & feel welcomed. The food is the
catalyst to help people accomplish this. Members help purchase
supplies, set up refreshments & clean up once a month. |
Ushers
work on a rotating basis, usually once a month at either the 1st or
2nd service. The goals of this team are 1) to welcome people to the
worship service and help them to feel at home, and 2) distribute
bulletins, take up the offering, and seat people as necessary. |
Offering/Counting
Team
This team rotates on a monthly basis and is responsible for counting
the offerings and making deposits on Sundays.
|
Artisans
at Worship
If you are artistic or enjoy decorating,
come create visual components to enhance & impact our corporate
worship and our church home. Men & women welcome! |
Children’s
Moment Team
Our little ones are never too little to learn about the Lord during
corporate worship. For that very reason, we offer them a Children’s
Moment during the service just for them. If you like presenting to
kids, then this is the right spot for you. |

Nurture
at CKMC |
Small
Group Ministries
Small groups provide a "family within the church family"
where you can develop friendships while doing interesting studies.
It's always a great time to join a group. Sunday mornings just don't give us the time to get
to know each other. Small groups do. So, don't be just a Sunday
face, find your very own special place in a CKMC small group.
“Since God loved us that
much, we surely ought to love each other." 1 John 4:11 |
Network
Ministry
Our goal is to encourage
everyone to use their spiritual gifts to serve the body of Christ
and to provide the structure to ensure that everyone's gifts and
interests are matched appropriately to current church needs &
new ministry opportunities. Members of the team are needed who can
1) welcome newcomers and make sure they find a place of ministry in
the church, and 2) serve as a liaison between the various ministries
and members of the church. |

accomplish together. |

organized teams to support these ministries. These are areas
of ministry that need attention and anyone who would like to
organize them is welcome to begin the visioning process!

and cultivate friendships among women; use our gifts for service to
CKMC and the community - local and worldwide; and to provide
opportunities to enrich and nurture spiritual growth among
women. THREE primary projects help us work toward this goal:
1. the Women’s Retreat in the spring; 2. the Moravian Bazaar
in November, 3. the Christmas Dinner in December. We nurture
one another through worship & relationships while serving the
Lord.

physically nurture our church family during times of joy, healing,
or sadness. We have two teams that provide meals to a family in
need. Each team member is only responsible for one dish; not the
entire meal. A team member is called by one of the coordinators
& asked to either provide a main dish, vegetable, salad,
dessert, or beverage & bread. The dish is brought to the church
and delivered to the family. Each team member serves approximately
3-4 times a year. Being part of the TLC Team is an easy &
practical way to express your concern or love for individuals &
families with comfort food! |

decide on social activities for each year and carry out the
activities (promote, make sign-up sheets, write articles for the
newsletter, help set up and clean up activities). |

Youth ministry
at CKMC is a vital part of church life and the discipleship of teens
and young adults. Through fun, teaching, small groups, missions,
retreats and worship, we help young people grow in their knowledge
and love of Jesus Christ. Our motto “Living for Jesus, Going
with Jesus, and Becoming Like Jesus" emphasizes the
Lordship of Jesus Christ, the mission of the church, and the
discipleship of the student. We are not the church of tomorrow, we
are part of the church today.
If you love God, love kids, and love what kids do; if you have
gifts of teaching, compassion, creativity, listening or wisdom; and
if you have room in your week and your heart for some 11-18 year
olds; then we want you!
