LIFE GROUPS
Life Groups are small groups of people who are striving to glorify God by meeting together regularly to share, study, support, and serve each other. Our Life Groups are encouraged to live out true Christian fellowship with one another. Opportunities for service in the Life Group Ministry area are as follows:

Leader - Leaders shepherd their group members by sharing in their spiritual journey, helping members nurture one another, and facilitating group meetings.

Host
- Hosts are the hospitality arm of the ministry. They open their home to group members for the weekly meeting and make sure that everyone feels welcome.

Coach
- Coaches shepherd Life Group leaders by sharing in their spiritual journey, encouraging them in their leadership role, and helping them maintain the ministry vision.

MOTORCYCLE CONNECTION

Motor Cycle Connection is a group formed out of a desire to help people connect to God by connecting people to people. We provide an environment where true Christian fellowship can flourish and connections can happen. Our mutual interest in motorcycles is the catalyst to help us make these connections. During riding season we either organize our own rides or we join other local riding organizations. While we are made up primarily of Christian men, we are very much open to ladies riding with us and make a special effort to invite people who do not yet know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. If you have any questions or would like the ride schedule, contact Gary Cockeram at 815-877-2362 or 815-742-0941

MEN'S MINISTRY 
Men's Ministry provides opportunities for men to connect with other men in non-threatening ways for the purpose of building relationships that encourage one another in our Christian walk. We believe that spiritually encouraging relationships are key to growing a relationship with Jesus. Why? Because relationships help foster trust, accountability, vulnerability, and discipleship in your faith walk.

WOMEN'S MINISTRY
The women’s ministry provides different opportunities a chance for women to grow deeper in their walk with the Lord, and to connect with other women who are growing in their faith. Some of the opportunities include the annual women’s retreat which normally takes place in October. The weekend features worship, teaching, breakout sessions, small group experiences, recreation, and the enjoyment of spending a weekend away with like-minded women in a great retreat setting. Service opportunities include help with retreat promotion, coordination, and registration as well as helping in various ways at the retreat facilities.

Another opportunity is the women’s Bible studies which take place during the school calendar on Tuesday mornings and Tuesday nights. These involve group teaching and breakout sessions discussing the group teaching. Service opportunities include help with promotion, coordination as well as helping in various ways during the gatherings. There are also special events that take place at various times of the year. Some events include Mother-Daughter Banquet, Christmas Banquet, Spring Banquet, etc. Service opportunities include help with promotion, coordination as well as helping in various ways during the events.

SENIORS ON THE GO
This ministry is designed for those 65 and over. Its purpose is to communicate and share God’s love to those in the church family, and to those outside the church through serving, not being served, and through giving, not receiving. In pursuit of this purpose, Seniors-on-the-Go will continue to create an awareness about the value of, the need for, and the role of senior adults in the church. Seniors adults should be seen as assets, not liabilities, as givers, not consumers, and as people in need of evangelistic outreach. Some of the programs of the ministry include the TNT Sunday Morning Bible Study, the Thursday Bible Study and Luncheon, and the Motor Coach Trips.
