Our goal: to present every man and woman "complete in Christ."

Adult Sunday School meets during each of the worship hours on Sunday morning. For three quarters each year we divide adults into several "mixed" classes for the purpose of learning how to apply the Bible to real life, and for developing friendships with others in the body. Special groups are offered for men only and women only. For information on Sunday School for Fall 2004, please clink on the link above.

Small Groups are our more in-depth Bible study groups, offered throughout the week in different locations and on different days and nights. Most of these are open to newcomers, but we also start new groups on a regular basis to reach out to new people and help them get involved in church life.

Evening Prayer is where the "real work" of CEFC is done. We can pour countless hours into preparing services, reaching out to people in need and teaching Sunday School classes, but unless God is working through our efforts nothing of value will be accomplished. This is why we spend every Sunday evening from 6:30-7:45 PM in prayer for various needs in our church and in the world. Many people have also found that the informal atmosphere on Sunday evenings enables them to more easily meet others at church.

Women's and Men's Ministries exist to meet the unique needs of these groups. Our Women's Ministry offers weekly Bible studies open to all women (with babysitting for morning groups). Additionally, they sponsor socials and an annual retreat. Watch the bulletin for specific details. Men's Ministry offers frequent Saturday morning breakfasts, socials and a yearly retreat. Several men's small groups have also formed recently. For more information, please click on Women's Ministry or Men's Ministry.

The Counseling Ministry, headed by Arleigh Hegarty, seeks to minister to people in times of crisis and emotional need by providing comfort and counsel in light of biblical guidelines for living. One of the most-used counseling services we offer is pre-marital counseling, required of all couples married by a CEFC pastor.
