Outreach

LIFE GROUPS. Life Groups are a small group ministry that meet on the first Sunday of each month at various locations, including homes, parks, the Fellowship Hall, the Family Activity Center, and the Buffs for Christ building on the WTAMU campus. The focus of this ministry is fro group members to develop closer relationships and engage in Bible study in a way that is not ordinarily possible at regular worship services. Life Group leaders provide planning, places for hosting, and/or leading Bible studies.

VISITATION. Visitation is one of the keys to the growth and well-being of our congregation, including visiting the sick, encouragement visits to members, and visiting newcomers to our congregation.

NEW MEMBER ORIENTATION. This ministry focuses on helping new members feel welcomed to our congregation and to integrate into the congregation’s various ministries. They are responsible for helping new members fill out church worker surveys and have their pictures taken for the church directory.

CARD MINISTRY. This ministry effectively reaches out to people through the sending of birthday and anniversary cards, thank you, and get-well cards.

RANDALL COUNTY JAIL BIBLE STUDY. Every Monday evening, men from University conduct a Bible study in the Randall County jail. Throughout the years, this ministry has led many prisoners to be baptized.

WIDOWS & SENIORS ASSISTANCE. This ministry helps older Christians who may need assistance with seasonal yard work, moving furniture, minor house repairs, snow removal, and other tasks. All you need is a heart to serve older people!
