Griefcare Ministry - Grief is the physical, emotional, social and spiritual reactions to loss. At the time of loss due to death, our thoughts and feelings may seem to overwhelm us. The first step toward regaining a sense of control is understanding the process called Grief. It is natural, normal and necessary.  

Grief Support Team - Grief Support Team members expand the outreach of the Bereavement and Prayer Ministry by maintaining contact with the surviving family members for a period of one year. Emphasis includes intercessory prayer, scriptural helps and personal encouragement to direct the hurting individuals to the healing power in Christ. Team members are compassionate, caring and loving individuals who have suffered a loss in their own close family. If you qualify and would like to be part of this ministry, contact Beverly at 918-492-6462; Dorothy, 918-587-3005; or the church office, 918-587-1571.

6:00pm Protos is the Greek word meaning first. It is also the name for our Sunday evening discipleship focus. From Men's Fraternity to Women's Mentoring Groups, from the New Christians Class to our Spiritual Leadership Class, there are many opportunities to dig deeper and more intently into faith.
