EVOLUTION Grades 6-8

Directors: Eddie & Janna Chavis

Evolution is one of our newest groups developed for Middle School youth in grades 6, 7 and 8.

We meet occasionally providing fun events where kids can interact with one another, build relationships and stay involved. We also have group discussions on how to deal with problems they face in a Godly way so that they have scriptural guidance to help them in their every day life.

Evolution is a group where youth in a critical transition period are free to be who they are. We assist them on their journey as they grow and mature in life and in God.

S.W.A.T

Directors: Jerome (jr.) & Antoinette Lewis

In addition to having the opportunity to discuss real life issues and learn life-transforming spiritual lessons, teens receive practical assistance with subjects such as SAT preparation and college scholarships.

There are also special events including ski trips, theatre, dance, 3-on-3 basketball and opportunities to minister in and around the community. More than anything, S.W.A.T infuses individual lives with the powerful anointing of God.

“What happens in S.W.A.T stays in S.W.A.T”

THE BRIDGE Fellowship Group Ages 19-29

For a bridge to be able to bear the amount of weight that will cross over it; there must be suspensions all along the way that support the structure.

Our “Bridge” purposes to support young adults through the many transitions faced during this dynamic phase of their lives, while being real, raw and relevant. The Bridge comes together during the last Friday of the month for “Final Fridays”.

Each Final Friday is unique with different activities and subject matter related to a Bridge suspension. Between events and for those away in college, fellowship opportunities ar provided through social media.

DOMINION Fellowship Group Ages 30-39

Directors: James & Keesha Lee, Che & Tanerra Willis, Lamar & Christina Waples

Genesis 1:26 shows us that it has always been God’s intention for us to have dominion on the earth

The age of 30 seems to be a special time of maturity when people from Joseph to David, from John the Baptist to Jesus Himself, were launched into service. Similarly, this team declares it’s time to take Dominion.

Whether serious or fun-filled, various events throughout the year will underscore their determination not to be subject to sickness, diseases, fear, sin or death but rather to live up to their original purpose in these vital years.

CROSSOVER Fellowship Group Ages 40-49

Directors:Henry & Nakia Naylor, Katrina Williams, Michael White, and Sharia Hayes

It is with this same sense of renewal that this special group celebrates their passages from the wilderness into a time of wisdom and joy. And they like to do it having fun!

This active group enjoys hiking, pool parties, paint night, softball games and more!

SEASONED SAINTS Fellowship Group Ages 65+

Directors: Neil & Verel Collins, Michelle Washington

Directors Verel, Neil and Michelle have always had such a heartfelt passion for seniors. Their vision was to create a fellowship group that brings older people together to share and multiply the vitality they have within.

Not surprisingly, the seniors themselves are the stars of every get-together!

Their laughter, wisdom, spiritual depth, life experience and faith for the future is a rich treasure infusing every event they create from Family Feud Game Night to Fashion shows to Fall Fests.

Always loving and appreciative, the Seasoned Saints are an excellent model of what a healthy, robust and happy life in Jesus can be.
