ABC Childcare Center
Providing a Christian atmosphere where children
will experience Christ's love and
will be encouraged to explore God's world. The learning
program is built on
monthly spiritual themes. Doris Berdanier, director.
Angel Food
Ministries
With a heart to help others and a generous
spirit, Joe and Linda Wingo founded
Angel Food Ministries in 1994 to provide food for friends and neighbors who were
struggling financially. Today the Angel Food
program now is helping provide food
relief to more than 500,000 families each month.
Christian Education
Supporting life long learning and discipline.
Christian education is at the
very heart of the church. In the educational
process the Spirit of God
encounters people of all ages so that they are nurtured in faith, grow in knowledge and
experience, and are inspired and empowered to live as
disciples of Jesus Christ. This call to discipleship compels us to share our faith and serve others in the home,
the community, and in God’s
world.
Concert Series
It is our deepest feeling that we need to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and what better way to do this than through the music of these
talented artists.
We have been truly blessed to be able to
present these concerts each year to the town (and surrounding
areas) of Shelby.
We strive to bring to you the most popular and talented
Christian artists we can with the resources we have been given.
Fellowship
Coming together as a church to enjoy fellowship
through dinners, concerts, festivals, and other special events.
Multimedia
Our
technicians are trained to use our audio and video projection systems; and
also assist with audio-visual projects that we create at the
church. Current opportunities
include: running our computer projection system for Worship, running the sound system for Worship, and
recording our
Worship services.
Music
One
of the church's most important ministries is the music ministry; a major
part of our worship experience. Worship is enhanced through the
use of praise bands, choirs, bells
choirs, pipe organ, piano, and other types of special music.
Outreach
Reaching out to a lost and unsaved world. Information on the First
Lutheran Food Pantry and Angel Food Ministries.
Visitation
I give you a new commandment, that
you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one
another. By this everyone will
know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. John 13:34-45. Please email Gaye Shira,
or call the church office if you are
interested in becoming involved with Visitation Team.
WELCA
Welca is the women's
organization of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America. This network of
