Men's Ministry - "Sons of Thunder" - Click here to visit the Sons of Thunder Page

This is a group of men who have been touched by God for a purpose. They all struggle, yet are filled with the Holy Spirit. They believe that God calls us to connect with others for greater strength.  They meet on Wednesday evenings at 6:00 in the Bell Hall at Saint Mark United Methodist Church.  They have casual, yet in depth Bible studies, accountability groups and weekly prayer breakfasts.  

Women's Ministry - "TLC"

We need Godly friendships in order to grow closer to Jesus. we are here to encourage each other through prayer, laughter, and tears. We want to be honest and real with all that God is working in our lives. Accountability is essential to our growth as Christians, and sometimes that is difficult in large groups. We want everyone to have a sense of closeness in TLC. To help make this possible we divide into small groups (within the total large group of TLC) every Wednesday night for 30/40 minutes. Our Bible study discussion takes place in this smaller group. It also allows us more one on one time to get to know one another. In addition to making sure all the members of TLC get a monthly calendar and a member list so we can keep in touch with one another weekly, we also have a social each month. We may have a movie night at someone's house or we may go out to eat. Whatever the case may be, it always involves great food and fellowship with wonderful friends. We have a blast. There's so much more to TLC...if you'd like more information, please call the church office at 339-5990.

Young at Heart

Our Young at heart group joins together the 1st Tuesday of each month at 11:30am for food, fellowship, and lots of fun, whether it's taking a road trip, hearing from a special guest who visits with the group, or celebrating just about anything. There's plenty of room for all of those who are young at heart. For more information, call Rev. John Drawhorn at the church office, or email him here.
