 A jigsaw puzzle is a work of art, composed of many different shaped
pieces that fit together to form one beautiful picture. This is a great
illustration of how we each have a place in God's "jigsaw puzzle" of
ministry. Each of us is unique, with special talents and abilities that
no one else possesses. By God's design, you have been gifted in many
diverse areas, and God's plan for ministry is not complete without you!
You were shaped for serving God.
"Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve
others..." 1 Peter 4:10
At Church in the Farms, we have numerous ministries where you can
serve using the abilities God has given you.
:: FIRST CONNECTIONS
1st impressions are often the most lasting impressions made. Our
“First Connections” ministries exist to welcome each person when they
first arrive. This is the first point of contact people have at Church
in the Farms. These ministries
include parking lot attendants, welcome center workers, greeters,
ushers, and CitF café volunteers.
:: CHILDREN’S MINISTRIES
Children's ministry at Church in the Farms seeks to reach the
children of our community and help them grow in the knowledge of Christ
through Bible-based, age appropriate, structured learning activities.
Sunday mornings are exciting times for kids to learn about Jesus in a
fun, interestingly and (most importantly) understandable way. Sunday
School is offered for 4 year-olds through Kindergarteners, and
Children’s Church is offered to 1st – 5th graders.
:: WEEKDAY PRESCHOOL MINISTRY
Church in the Farms Preschool ministry seeks to develop children
academically, spiritually, socially and physically. Using a hands-on
curriculum that teaches Biblical character and values, the Preschool
ministry seeks to prepare every child for Kindergarten, and a life fully
devoted to Jesus Christ.

:: WORSHIP MINISTRY
The worship ministry, comprised of worship leaders, praise team
singers, and the band, leads worshippers every Sunday through inspiring
music to give glory and honor and praise to God. All that we do at CitF
depends upon worship.
The
worship music at Church in the Farms is joyful and contemporary…the kind of music
you’ll hear on local Christian radio station 88.1 WAY FM. Our worship
team keeps one thing in mind: worship MUST be Christ centered, and not
a performance for entertainment. The goal of every worship service is
to devote our attention, our emotions, and our lives toward Jesus
Christ. |
