Ministries

(This Page is under development.  We have listed a few of our ministries but many more are available and will be listed in the near future.)

Not quite ready to join a small group, but you'd like to connect with people who have similar interests and like goals in a safe, non-threatening environment?

Check out one of the ministries listed below. Ministry groups are organized around the common interests, life circumstances and felt needs of participants. They are a great way to get connected.

Our praise teams lead worship at all services and consist of vocalist and instrumentalists who have a passion for worship.  Call or email Julie Clemens 692-1420 jclemens@fccpeoria.org to become a part of this growing ministry.
