CONNECT: Joining the Family of Christ
We were never meant to journey alone. Connecting with others and building community is a big part of a healthy Christian walk. God's Word says, "As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend." — Proverbs 27:17. You can find strength, support and encouragement through prayer, fellowship and intimate friendships by joining a life group or connecting to a ministry area. Don't let the busyness of life get in the way of building lasting relationships with other believers who care about who you are and where you are going in your walk with God.
GROW: Become What You Were Created to Be
It is a natural order for us to grow, and personal growth should be a daily goal to become all that God has created us to be. JFWC Ministries help you to strengthen your faith, and gain knowledge of who God is and who He says you are. Our ministries are designed to meet you where you are in life from cradle to the rocking chair. Whether single, married or just starting out in your Christian walk, there's a ministry that best serves your needs.
SERVE: Make a Difference for Others
Serving others is not just for pastors - or even adults for that matter! Jesus said, "Whatever you did for the least of these you did for me." — Matthew 25:40. You can touch the very heart of God by serving others around you. Coaching a little league team or helping someone at the grocery store can become a great witness of the love of Christ without preaching a sermon. Of course, there are many ways to volunteer your time here at Joplin Family Worship Center as well. Through our Bright Future Partnership with Jefferson Elementary, singing in the choir, or helping in the nursery, you can help minister the gospel to those seeking the truth found in God's Word. Whether here at the church or abroad, we encourage you to be the greatest representatives of Christ's love you can be. Your life is a book read by all those around you and speaks volumes of the hope, faith and love found in a relationship with Jesus Christ.
