Opportunities for Involvement
CEFC > Opportunities for Involvement
There are a lot of things to do at C.E.F.C. Our goal is not to make your life more “busy,” but to provide meaningful events and opportunities to add value to your relationship with God, family, and friends.
- Sunday Morning Worship - 9:00 & 11:30 a.m. every Sunday
- Worshiping God is the greatest thing we can do. Led by Mark Baker, our Worship Director/Leader, and our Worship Team, we celebrate the greatness of God every Sunday morning at 9:30a.m. through singing both contemporary songs and traditional hymns, prayers, the ministry of our “Joyful Sounds” Choir, and other acts of worship. Pastor Neal brings a message from God’s Word to help us understand what the Scriptures are saying and how they make a difference in our lives today. After worship we gather on the patio for coffee and conversation. Quality nursery care is provided.
- Sunday School - 10:30 a.m.
- We have age-appropriate classes for all our children and youth taught by people who love them. We also have a variety of classes for adults, college-age through Seniors. Sunday School begins after worship. Quality nursery care is provided for newborns through 2 ½ years.
- Children’s Ministries
- Children are a gift from God. It is our desire to help show them the way to know God’s love. Our Children’s Ministries provide spiritual growth for our children:
