People & Prayer Ministries

MEN’S MINISTRY helps men to grow in
their understanding of God’s word and how it applies to their lives within the context of
their family, work, and community. If you
have a desire to help men grow in these aspects, this ministry would be a great place for you to serve.
 
WOMEN’S MINISTRY helps women to grow in their understanding of God’s word and how it applies to their lives. Help serve in this ministry through event planning or using your gift of teaching. If you have a gift for helping women grow through God’s word, then this might be the ministry for you. 
 
THE YOUTH MINISTRY serves parents and students in grades 7 through 12. We have Wednesday night gatherings, community service projects, and events that shepherd their students through teaching, worship, and small group interaction. If you have a passion to help students grow in their faith, then being a youth leader might be for you.
 
THE NURSERY is currently looking for volunteers to serve in the nursery either during our first or second service. This would be approximately a once-a-month commitment during one of our morning worship services. Background checks are required.
 

OUR MISSIONS works with missionaries on 5 different continents that are selected from those whose focus is reaching unreached people groups, primarily in the “10/40 window.” We desire, when possible, to support national missionaries in their indigenous countries. We also support two orphanages that clearly demonstrate an emphasis on evangelism.

OUR PRAYER MINISTRY aims to serve our church and community through prayer.

  • The Prayer Team is a rotating group of individuals who are available to pray with people after each morning service.
  • Faith Family Prayer meets each Sunday at 8:30am for a prayer meeting prior to first service. This is a special time to gather with God’s people to share praises and prayer requests and intercede for one another in corporate prayer.
  • In-Person Prayer Nights are hosted at LEFC every other Tuesday at 6:30pm. This is another great opportunity to lift each other up in prayer.
 

OUR NURSING HOME MINISTRY is held at La Crescent Health Services every Thursday at 2:00 p.m. We meet for Bible study and provide a time for residents and their families to hear the gospel, listen to familiar hymns, and have fellowship. If you have a heart for the elderly or love hearing stories from times past, this might be the ministry for you.

 
SMALL GROUPS are a Christ-centered community of the local church that consists of generally 8 to 16 Jesus followers doing Christian life deeply together. No group is exactly the same and no group is perfect because we are not perfect. The groups meet at various days and times throughout the week. If you would like to be a part of one of these or are interested in facilitating a group, then this ministry might work for you.
