Biblical Basis for Ministry

 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.  Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching (Hebrews 10:24-25, NIV).

Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every joint with which it is supplied, when each part is working properly, makes bodily growth and upbuilds itself in love (Ephesians 4:15-16, RSV).

Benevolence Ministry

We offer help to those who are in need, whether it be with groceries, clothing, or some limited financial help.  If you are in need of benevolent help, please contact our church office at 512-355-2322 for more information.

 

Bus Ministry

This ministry works in cooperation with our Children’s, Education, and Youth Ministries.  We provide transportation to and from our Wednesday night service for those in Preschool up through High School who may not be able to attend worship service or Bible class otherwise.  If you are interested in riding one of our buses, contact us and one of our yellow buses will come pick you up on Wednesdays.

 

Children’s Ministry

This ministry is offered for those children who are in Elementary School or younger.  Presently we offer monthly devotionals and activities for these children and their families and we are planning a regular Sunday night Children’s Church program that will resemble our Wednesday night Bible Hour program.

 

Counseling

We do offer premarital, marital, family, and some personal counseling in areas that our staff are experienced and certified in.  However, we do not offer professional psychological or psychiatric counseling, although we do provide contact information for these specialists.

 

Education Ministry

This ministry oversees our Sunday morning and Wednesday evening Bible classes and works in cooperation with our Children’s Ministry to oversee our Wednesday night Bible Hour program and our future Sunday night Children’s Church program.  We offer a number of age-graded youth classes and adult classes during our Sunday and Wednesday meeting times and also provide a Preschool/Daycare program on Tuesdays and Fridays.

 

Family Ministry

Although most of our ministries fall under the category of Family Life Ministry, this program specifically ministers to families, both those with and without children.  Through the offering of a Homebuilders class on Sunday mornings and the promotion of family-oriented activities and special programs/workshops, the goal of this ministry is to build up Christian families in a time when our society looks to tear them down. 

 

Hospitality Ministry

This ministry is aimed at those who bless our congregation by visiting us during the week.  This ministry consists of our Greeters who meet you when you arrive on our campus, our Ushers who will gladly seat you and see to any needs you may have, and our Visitation Team who will contact you during the week and invite back to service or to any upcoming functions we may be sponsoring.

 

Involvement Ministry

This ministry seeks to incorporate all those members who wish to serve in the overall ministry of our congregation.  This is done through surveying one’s spiritual gifts and personality style and then plugging that person into the ministry or ministries that he or she feels they can best contribute to.

 

Media Ministry

This ministry oversees all of our Audio/Visual equipment and operates the technical aspect of our worship services (i.e., sound equipment, PowerPoint, and song projection).  This ministry also oversees the production of our informational brochures, teaching materials, this website, and our weekly bulletin.

 

Men’s Ministry

This ministry is currently conducted through our Men’s Leadership Group that meets on Sunday mornings.

 

Prison Ministry

In cooperation with the congregation in Marble Falls, we provide the ministry for those women who have been confined to the Halbert Facility in Burnet, Texas.  Each week we conduct a short worship service and then a team of women will teach New Life Behavior courses for the inmates there.  At present, we have had over 400 baptisms during the time of our work at the  Burnet facility.

 

Singles Ministry

This ministry is for all those male and female singles over the age of 18.  Through weekly Bible classes and regular activities, this ministry strives to develop and nurture faith in those who are engaging this hostile world as a single Christian adult.

 

Spiritual Formation Ministry

Through mentoring and a variety of different spiritual exercises, retreats, and classes, this ministry seeks to provide our members with valuable insights into their spiritual makeup so that they can discover their full potential as Christians.  Activities are offered on different subjects and at various times of the year.

 

Women’s Ministry

This ministry for women currently operates in two functions: 1) our Women’s Devotional Group on Wednesday evenings, and 2) our Secret Sisters fellowship program.
