Singles
MINISTRY
This ministry seeks to encounter singles through sure biblical and common sense information (Hosea 4:6; Proverbs 19:2-3). This ministry seeks to empower and energize singles to know who they are in Christ, to make right choices, and build spiritual and relational wholeness (I Corinthians 6:19, 12; II Corinthians 6:14, 7:32); encouraging singles in their life of singleness (Acts 13:47, Matthew 5:13-16). The desired outcome is to impact the world’s misconception that a life of singleness is a time of loneliness and despair but a time of personal growth and spiritual development.

Nehemiah
MINISTRY
Our vision is to feed the sheep of our flock developing a scriptural based sound doctrinal foundation. Our goal therefore is to insure Disciple growth in Bible knowledge and understanding. The New Disciples Ministry uses a very simple and yet tremendously powerful
tool often called the “Roman Road.” It is found in the book of Romans. Each of the verses is equential and beautifully designed to help us, to present to believers, Christ’s plan of salvation to unbelievers. Keep in mind, however; that whatever approach is used, it should be done in a ministry of love and care.
