Youth
Our youth ministry is active year around. We have a summer intern that works full time each summer with the youth ministry (grades 6-12).
-We have devotionals usually about every other Sunday evening that are hosted in the homes of members or at the church building.
-In the fall for Sunday morning class we have a mentoring class where students are paired with an adult from the congregation to study the Bible and share life together.
-From January through Easter students work on their LTC activities (www.ntltc.org) . They go on Easter weekend to Dallas to present the activities they have been working on during the spring.
-We have numerous service activities throughout the year both locally in the church/neighborhood, at local nursing homes, and at other locations as needed.
-Each summer we take a group of high school students to Lubbock Christian University to participate in a camp called "Encounter". This is a traditional summer Bible camp but placed on the campus of LCU. Students come back inspired and well fed on God's word.
-We also have numerous fun activities throughout the year to help build camaraderie among the youth.

Mexico Ministry
This is a ministry that has been going on for over 30 years. They meet on Tuesday and Thursday mornings to work on printing/packaging Spanish language material to send to encourage brothers and sisters in Spanish speaking countries. Some of this material is sent to seekers wanting to learn about becoming a Christian. Much of the material is sent to preachers/churches and used as resources to encourage them in their Spiritual growth. Also many Bibles are shipped via this ministry to areas that have many new Christians. Also there is a segment of this ministry that works in prison ministry. They send material to prisoners all over the country that teach them the basics on becoming a Christian.
Monday Night for the Master
This is a ministry that goes on throughout the year (accept for during major holidays). This group gets together to mail encouragement cards, birthday cards, and all kinds of other cards to members and also acquaintances we hear about "through the grapevine. This ministry does much to encourage folks all over the country in small ways as they recover from illness and other challenges and continue to grow in their faith. During the school year someone volunteers to cook a meal for the group each Monday night. During the summer we have a dessert only MNFTM. It is a sweet time for all!
GiveAway
Two times a year we have what we call the "giveaway". A few weeks before school starts we have a giveaway that focuses on back to school items. We also have clothes and other household items available to those that may need to get them. All for the low low price of FREE! During January we have a winter giveaway when we focus on giving away jackets and blankets to those who may need them. This is a very encouraging time for all those involved!
