Where Christ Makes the Difference
OUR MINISTRIES
Cedar Branch has always been known for it's missionary and giving spirit, our prayer is that God will continue to use us as we surrender our lives to be used by HIM!
Prayer
Our Prayer ministry involves a Prayer Warrior Team and in 2013 adopted the Mission statement of "God's Mission- Our Sincere Prayers- Impacting Others- For His Glory." Each Sunday a Prayer Warrior is assigned to Pray during our Morning Worship Service. Seeking Him in Prayer! "For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them." Matthew 18:20
WMU/Women's Ministry
Our WMU, known as: The Phyllis Price Circle, is actively involved in countless ministries: Samaritan's Purse, Operation InAsMuch, Women's Prison Ministry, Martin County Toy Store, Coastal Pregnancy Center, and many more. They host a Women's Retreat, Senior Celebrations, and a Graduation recognition. These are only a few of what our women are doing for His glory!
Youth & Children
Our Youth & Children's Programs are being blessed. They meet on Wednesday nights for a fun night activities and Bible Study. We have groups for grades 1-5 (Children) and 6-12 for (Youth.) Our Children & Youth 's programs are growing and God is blessing with active leaders teaching the Gospel and the mission we have in spreading it. They truly have fun learning about Jesus!
Outreach Ministry
Our Outreach ministry is growing; giving God the Honor, Praise, & the Glory! We still have our GROW (God Rewards Our Work) ministry to reach those who may have wandered or who do not know the saving Grace of the Gospel. Through prayer, cards, letters, and visits we strive to reach & love others. We have added to our Outreach Ministry a "Kid's Outreach" in our community reaching the little ones who need to hear about Jesus. Through our Fall Festival and or Community Trunk or Treat we hope to further God's Kingdom. In 2022 we completed the Jamesville zip code of Saturate USA.
Discipleship
Our Discipleship teams take the "Go and Make" command seriously. Discipling is an intentional relationship along side other disciples in order to encourage, equip, and grow toward maturity in Christ. Being a Christian is a statement about what Christ has done for me; being a disciple is a statement about what I am doing for Christ.
Music/Worship
We are always looking for the gift of music in our church family. We enjoy special music at each worship. Our worship style is considered to be a blended style with a time of contemporary as well as the "good ole" hymns. Whether you feel blessed by a musical gift or not, we want to hear you! Remember it's always a sweet savor to our Lord!
Community service
We always strive and seek ways to serve the community of Jamesville and Martin County. Many of our members are active volunteers in Emergency Management in our area through EMT & Fire service.
We are home to the Jamesville Community Vacation Bible School. The Community wide VBS usually takes place the third week of June from 8:55 AM to 12:00 Noon; Monday - Friday. Everyone is welcome!
Our Youth, Children, Women and GROW teams are actively involved in opportunities for the community. Through local missions: Kid's Outreach, Trunk or Treat events, our Fall Festival, Teacher Appreciation, & Valentine Outreach Events just to mention a few of our Loving Your Neighbor events.
We are active in the Jamesville Community Food Pantry, this community ministry distributes the first Monday of every month at their new location on Main St. in Jamesville, behind what is now known as "The Friendly Spot" (use side entrance) from 3:00 - 4:30 PM. God is surely blessing this community effort. For more information, please click on the GO link and don't forget to visit the Jamesville Community Food Pantry Facebook page. We are also home tthe ministry recently started "Uncle Bud's Knitters." They are making hat & scarves for Samaritan's Purse, Nursing Homes and other Community Outreach. God is Good in our Community!
We organize the Jamesville Community National Day of Prayer each year on the First Thursday in May. This takes place in the NERSBA Auditorium on St. Andrews St., Jamesville.
Whether it's local or global Cedar Branch is known for it's members who have been called as ministers, missionaries, or just obedient workers for God's Kingdom! To God Be the Glory!
