Every human being has hurts they deal with, habits to break, and hang ups to overcome. Celebrate Recovery is a place you can meet with others who are willing to admit they have not reached perfection. It is a safe and accepting place to deal with life's issues. Most participants claim this is a life changing experience for them. For more information, please contact John Lander.
Do you ever wonder about the meaning of life? What happens after I die? Is God real? Who was Jesus Christ and why does it matter to me today? Alpha is a place where questions are welcomed in a safe and accepting environment, where no one is judged. If you have doubts or are exploring faith, this is the perfect place to be. Most of our congregation has taken this course and found it to be an excellent refresher on the basics of the faith and a catalyst for their own spiritual growth. A typical evening begins with dinner, followed by a short video and a group discussion. Alpha takes place on Wednesday evenings from 6-8pm during the school year, coinciding with our children's and middle school ministries. Alpha bits is our nursery service, to care for babies. For more information, please contact Vel Mondahl.
We are created for relationships. If Sunday mornings are the heart of corporate worship, Small Groups are the skeletal structure that keep us connected to one another. Small groups provide the context for building relationships of mutual trust and support. These groups meet during the week all throughout Mason City. Every group has its own personality. You are invited to visit several groups to find the right place for you. For more information, or a list of current groups, please contact Frank or Judy Smillie.
The Care Team strives to meet tangible needs within our church family and out in the greater community. We consider it a joy when we can share God's love by reaching out to assist people in need.
