it's about FAMILY...

"But encourage one another daily,
 as long as it is called "Today,"
 
so that none of you may be
 hardened by sin's deceitfulness"
 Hebrews 3:13 (NIV)

"But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called "Today,"
 
so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness"

Hebrews 3:13 (NIV)

God made us to need one another. And we all feel it — we desperately require human connection. The problem is, even in the midst of a world (and a church!) full of people, we can still be lonely and isolated. God’s plan is that his church will be a place of love, warmth, acceptance and friendship – the very best place of all to find the connection we so deeply need. In the Toledo Church each member is attached to a small group of fellow believers – a group that provides the intimate friendship and fellowship God intends each of his children to enjoy.

These groups not only provide FRIENDSHIP and FELLOWSHIP, but places where we can GROW SPIRITUALLY as we practice the “one another” passages in Scripture that make our faith come alive:

ENCOURAGE one another // SERVE one another
BEAR one another’s BURDENS // ADMONISH one another
CONFESS to one another // HONOR one another // BUILD up one another

FAMILY

groups...

We are all about family! We strive to thrive in our smaller life groups. Whether you are married, single, mature, campus or a teen; there is a place for you.


The life groups are designed to meet the needs of individuals on a more intimate level. Each group meets on a consistent basis according to their season of life. These groups provide an environment of openness and connection, are focused on God's Word and building close relationships as we spur one another on towards love and good deeds.

CAMPUS & SINGLES ministry...

As Disciples on Campus and in the Singles Ministry, we want to help people to make the most important decision of their lives, one which will influence other choices they will make: the decision to be a follower of Jesus Christ.


Our mission is to boldly bring the inspiring, yet challenging, teachings of Christ to this generation as well as loving those in need. Whether through group or personal bible studies, worship, community outreach, and leadership training, we strive to honor God with everything.

TEEN ministry...

The Teen Ministry is a group of individuals that love God, their families and their neighbors. This ministry is a place where our teens can come together to have a great time, while learning how to be the people God has them to be. We, as a church, believe that it is a team effort to raise our children.


Our youth activities and events such as parent/teen devotionals, fun events, etc... allow us to build deeper faith, more meaningful relationships and a greater understanding of God and the Bible.

CHILDREN'S ministry...

Children are precious to God, so they are precious to us! While you enjoy the teaching and encouragement of the adult service you can be confident that your children will participate in age-appropriate, scripture-based lessons, songs, crafts, and games designed to bring bible stories and teachings alive in a fun and memorable way. Our dynamic curriculum provides unique lessons for every age group. Your children will never be bored with a repeated lesson! 


Our coordinators and teachers are church members who have volunteered to serve 
in a rotation. They have been interviewed and are trained, in an effort to create a secure, safe and positive class environment. Appropriate teacher-child ratios are maintained, and an open-door policy is followed.
