As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
Proverbs 27:17

ONGOING SMALL GROUPS

Prayer Team
Our prayer group mission is to share experiences, pray for the congregation, and encourage each other in the Word of God. Prayer group is taking a break from in person meetings for the summer. Those meetings will pick back up starting September 1 and continue to meet Tuesday mornings at 10am in Room 122.

pastor and elders. The four men who serve on the team meet regularly with our teaching pastor and speak 1-2 Sundays a year. All the men
are faithful in other ministries in the church, from
children's church to security.

Worship Teams
Our Sunday worship is not entertainment. The worship teams facilitate the congregation's praise of God through music, visual cues, and audio reinforcement. On Tuesdays, the music team meets for Bible study and worship in preparation of leading the congregation on Sunday.

Apple Tree Men's Ministry
It's a weird name; but it makes sense if you get to know us. Our men's ministry is just getting restarted in the fall of 2026. We will be focusing on quarterly fellowship, work projects, and one-on-one connections.

Ladies Ministry
Our ladies' ministry is focused on building strong, disciple-building relationships among the women
(Titus 2:3–5). Join us as we work through a guided journal (FAITH, HOPE, LOVE), connect in small groups along the way, and meet quarterly as one group for fellowship.
