Ministries at Fairton Christian CenterAcademyBulletinDawn Firus, CoordinatorThe bulletin is a ministry of information, encouragement, and blessings for the congregation of Fairton Christian Center. Weekly events of the church and school are listed, as well as opportunities for spiritual growth within the body of Christ. The bulletin is prayed over for anointing each week before it is printed, to give to all who read it, what is needed for them personally. It is a message of knowledge, help, love, and encouragement through the scripture, and context of its pages. May the Lord bless you as you read it. Children's ChurchRachel Levick, CoordinatorChildren's Church meets every Sunday during regular church service. We have a Primary class and Beginner class. Our dedicated teachers instruct the children in biblical truths. The teachings are intended not only to teach them but also to have fun while leaning principles for life. Rachel Levick coordinates the Ministry and instructs the teachers in the use of the programs so that the children look forward to attending. Choir and Praise GroupNick Djakow, CoordinatorMary Djakow, Assistant Coordinator Choir performs at Sunday service several times a year as well as special performances in conjunction with other churches in the area. The choir consists of over 30 voices and is a blessing to all who hear them. Church CalendarShirley Moore, CoordinatorChurch SocialsVicki Bittner, CoordinatorOur church socials include luncheons once a month after our second service. We also provide a continental breakfast and lunch for special affairs such as our women's conference. Our committee is responsible for many special occasions. Ministry of Communications/TV, Radio and InternetGreg Hennis, CoordinatorThis ministry, deals with spreading God's Word through electronic media, and enables us to reach many people outside of our church walls. Fairton Christian Center not only continues in radio ministry, but has moved to the next level through the use of other electronic media. This encompasses television, as well as, the internet. Each week the church has 4 Radio Broadcasts and 2 Television Broadcasts and 1 Live Webcast. Plus each broadcast mentioned above is available at anytime on our website. We have additional goals to be met. The first goal is the Bus Stop Ministry. This ministry will give individuals the opportunity to explain on how God changed them. Then we will put them on DVD's and use them in our television broadcast and website. We would also like them to be distributed so others can see how God can make a difference in their lives. This ministry even has touched and changed many lives, and we believe that this is just a start. GreetersCarol Simpkins, CoordinatorWe now have sixteen faithful people who serve as Greeters. Judy Panshesine has been acting as hostess, this is really a blessing as it's not always possible to spot visitors in a crowd. The Greeters realize it is also their responsibility to make everyone feel welcome, as well as giving out bulletins. Home Cell
Helping Hands MinistryThis ministry attends to the needs of the people within our Church. It exemplifies Galatians 6:10, where Paul exhorts those of the household of faith to do good for one another. This ministry does so in the following manner.

We will actively support the FCC Men's Ministry with our prayers, finances, time and talents. We will commit to disciple other men and develop relationships that will encourage them to have a deeper, personal fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ. The Fairton Christian Center Men's Ministry fellowship has been in existence for over 25 years. There are a number of events that are held each year such as; FCC Golf Tournament, Men's Breakfast, Praise and Worship night, Sports Competition Night, Fishing trip in the Bay, Hunting trip to Pennsylvania, and Men's Retreat and Conference. The annual "Critter Dinner" is well known throughout South Jersey of one of the Premier gathering of Sportsmen (Hunters and Fishers) in New Jersey. The Men's Ministry continues their Wednesday night service and provides an opportunity for men to fellowship and experience anointed teaching of the Word. Missionettes - National Girls MinistriesMary Ellen Langley, CoordinatorThe Missionettes program is designed to win girls to Christ through love and acceptance. We want to support them in encouragement and accountability through Christian relationships. We want to help them learn to obey what the Lord commands of us. Our goal is to see the girls become women of faith through Christ and to see smiling faces through awards and honors. We desire to have the girls fulfill their purpose of being a part of the Missionettes. MissionsCommittee: Vicki Bittner, Myrna Ingles, Sue Levick, and Debbie PittengerMission Sunday is the 4th Sunday of each month.

You meet once a week for nine weeks and study such topics as, the Bible, Salvation, healing, Baptism of the Holy Spirit, walking with God, serving and sharing with the family of God. This is also a good way for you to get to know a brother or sister in the Lord and will also begin to build relationships in the body. We pray for you and encourage you as you grow in the Lord.

Prayer ChainMary Christian, CoordinatorThe prayer chain consists of three women. Their names are Carol Simpkins, Paula Sheets and Mary Christian. We pray for the needs of others. When a call comes in, the one who receives the call passes it on to the other women. We stand in agreement, as we seek the Lord in prayer for answers. We pray for many needs, which include financial needs, physical and emotional healings and family problems. We received many answers to these needs. Our goal is to continue to seek the Lord in prayer for the needs of others.

There will be opportunities year-round to attend camping events at the outpost, district, or national levels. Street MinistryLori Hooks, CoordinatorThere are so many people in the world who need Jesus. Eternal life is a free gift from God that not every person has or even knows about. This ministry is an outreach for the lost and dying people that would never think about the consequences of sin and death. We are taking the life changing gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to the people who need to hear about God's love and saving grace. We are all a part of the Lords body and we are all called to care about the eternal salvation of others. "I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repents, more than over ninety and nine persons, which need no repentance." Luke 15:7 Sound SystemSam Sheets, CoordinatorThe objective of the sound ministry is to bring praise and worship and God's word to the people in a clear and understandable manner so the people can be ministered to effectively. Other services provided by the sound team are providing sound for special events and making duplicates of each Sunday's message on either CD or cassette tape. The sound team consists of three men who are also responsible for setting up and breaking down the sound equipment and they are Sam Sheets, coordinator; Tom Hall, technician and sound man. Sunday SchoolShirley Moore, SuperintendentDoris Wilson, Assistant Thursday Morning Bible StudyGarnett Glenning, LeaderThe Thursday morning Bible class has been in existence for twelve years. The purpose of this class is for women to come together to learn what the Word of God has to say about how to be a successful Christian woman. We study scripture and learn how to apply it to our own lives. We have time for open discussion and prayer. We pray for each other and love each other. Strong bonds have been formed over the years. It is a place where women can come to find sisters in the Lord who will love them and support them. We meet them in the little church from 9:30 to 11:30am. All are welcome to come and join us. UshersGeorge Polhamus, Offering CoordinatorThe ushers are responsibility for getting the church ready for Sunday morning services, setting up the chairs, helping those who need help into the church building, collecting the offering and taking care to close the church at the end of services. They are responsible to help people find a seat if necessary. They are available to give assistance whenever needed. Our ushers also assist with communion. VisitorsJudy Panchesine, CoordinatorWomen's MinistryShirley Moore, CoordinatorThe Wednesday night meeting is truly a blessed time. Each week is filled with excellent teaching and ministry. A woman from within our church body comes forward every week to present a ministry. Some are anointed teachers of the Word; others give a personal testimony which encourages others. There are nights when we take prayer requests and devote the night to prayer; or open the meeting up to group discussion. We are led by the Holy Spirit and He always teaches us and lifts us up. We have an attendance that averages about 25 women. These women have bonded together in love and will bind around any woman who needs prayer and support. This fellowship of sisters is power and every woman in the church should take advantage of this blessing of the Lord. We have seen wonderful moves of God within this group. Every woman is encouraged to come and find the power, the wisdom and the refreshing of the Lord that is there every week. We meet at 6:30pm in the cafeteria. Young Adult Group "Ascend"Mike Coyle, CoordinatorAscend is an up-and-coming cell group within the body of Fairton Christian Center. The group is dedicated to discovering and pursuing God's truths and learning how to apply Biblical principles to the hear-and-now realities and aspects of everyday life. The meetings consist of in-depth, multi-week studies of various topics including spiritual growth, financial stewardship, and God's destiny for each of our lives. The teaching is always practical and easy to apply. Though Ascend's core group consists of people in their 20s and 30s, it is open to anyone 18 and over. The meetings are fun and laid back, and there is usually a time of food and fellowship after each session.

Youth Group "Warriors of the Light" - Grades 7 - 12Garnett Glenning ,CoordinatorWarriors of the Light Youth Group meet on Sunday evenings under the leadership of Garnett Glenning & David Smith. Meetings take place in the conference room between 6pm and 7pm. The goal of Warriors of the Light is to help kids to develop a closer relationship with the Lord and to develop a Christ ¨C like character. We want each of them to know that they are in the world but they are not of the world. If we can teach them how to boldly proclaim Christ by living holy lives, then the mission will be accomplished.
