Girlfriend's Unlimited. Experience a new approach to women's ministry that looks different, sounds different, and feels different.

New Commandment Men's Ministry. The motto of our Men's Ministry is, "And they'll know we are Christians by our gloves." On the first Saturday of every month, our men organize at Lakeside before heading out to help single mothers, widows and the elderly with basic home repair. We have a lot of fun while building deep relationships and growing in Christ. If you would like to participate in this ministry, contact Tony Waters @ 529-7805. Click here for the schedule.
