Church Ministries

Worship on the Water
Worship on the Water is a seasonal outreach ministry of Christ Church. From Memorial Day Sunday until Labor Day Sunday, an informal worship service is held on the Resort dock at the Georgia Veteran's Memorial State Park. Begun in 2005 as the brain child of the Evangelism Ministry Team, this exciting ministry is entering its fifth year. For complete information, visit our website at Worship on the Water

Evangelism Ministry Team
Our Evangelism Ministry Team is always looking for new ways to share the good news that God loves us each and every one. They work to bring visibility to Christ Church, and to offer places for easy entry into the work and life of this congregation.
Whether that's feeding new teachers in Crisp County Schools... sponsoring a Blessing of the Animals... inviting friends to join us decorating for Christmas... or simply following up with visitors who come worship, this high-energy crowd is constantly opening doors and making friends.

Outreach Ministry Team
Outreach involves what we can do to meet the needs of others. One of the most recent projects was finding a sister congregation in the devastated Mississippi Gulf to assist in their rebuilding. Contacts were established with the Dioceses of Mississippi and Louisiana just as soon as Katrina cleared out enough to offer assistance. After numerous conversations, Christ Church, Cordele has joined with Christ Church, Bay St. Louis, Mississippi to offer what modest resources we have in the face of their monumental task of rebuilding. You can learn more about our sister congregation by clicking on Christ Church, Mississippi. 
Another Outreach ministry of our part of God's family is The Little Red Wagon... a monthly food collection which fills our pantry with staples and canned goods to assist those in need. The idea, growing out of a suggestion from two of our newest members, lets us help in tangible ways, literally bringing our offerings forward during our worship.

Youth Ministry Team
From the youngest child to the nearly adult, Christ Church is looking to offer each person who participates in the life of this church family a place to learn about God's love for them and for all people. At Christ Church, we don't believe that children are the church of the future... they're the church today! Several of our older youth have been very active on the diocesan level, participating in youth events in the best Diocesan youth program in the Southeast Province. One of our members is Co-Chair of the Diocesan Youth Commission.
Locally, our young folk are invited to a hands-on ministry of service, responsibility, and great fellowship. If you'd like to know more, send us an email... or better yet, drop by some Sunday morning or Thursday evening to see for yourself.

Parish Life Ministry Team
We don't forget ourselves. We know that in order to be able to minister to others, we need to be healthy and loved ourselves. The folk who find a ministry in Parish Life are the ones that feed us... literally and figuratively. Whether it's planning a luncheon on a special occasion, coordinating mid-week meals, or arranging that fantastic party or reception, the ongoing ministry of hospitality and welcome are focused through these dedicated givers.
