it's about FAMILY...
"But encourage one another daily,
as long as it is called "Today,"
so that none of you may be
hardened by sin's deceitfulness"
Hebrews 3:13 (NIV)
"But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called "Today,"
so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness"
Hebrews 3:13 (NIV)
God made us to need one another. And we all feel it — we desperately require human connection. The problem is, even in the midst of a world (and a church!) full of people, we can still be lonely and isolated. God’s plan is that his church will be a place of love, warmth, acceptance and friendship – the very best place of all to find the connection we so deeply need. In the Toledo Church each member is attached to a small group of fellow believers – a group that provides the intimate friendship and fellowship God intends each of his children to enjoy.
These groups not only provide FRIENDSHIP and FELLOWSHIP, but places where we can GROW SPIRITUALLY as we practice the “one another” passages in Scripture that make our faith come alive:
ENCOURAGE one another // SERVE one another
BEAR one another’s BURDENS // ADMONISH one another
CONFESS to one another // HONOR one another // BUILD up one another

TEEN ministry...
The Teen Ministry is a group of individuals that love God, their families and their neighbors. This ministry is a place where our teens can come together to have a great time, while learning how to be the people God has them to be. We, as a church, believe that it is a team effort to raise our children.
Our youth activities and events such as parent/teen devotionals, fun events, etc... allow us to build deeper faith, more meaningful relationships and a greater understanding of God and the Bible.
CHILDREN'S ministry...
Children are precious to God, so they are precious to us! While you enjoy the teaching and encouragement of the adult service you can be confident that your children will participate in age-appropriate, scripture-based lessons, songs, crafts, and games designed to bring bible stories and teachings alive in a fun and memorable way. Our dynamic curriculum provides unique lessons for every age group. Your children will never be bored with a repeated lesson!
Our coordinators and teachers are church members who have volunteered to serve in a rotation. They have been interviewed and are trained, in an effort to create a secure, safe and positive class environment. Appropriate teacher-child ratios are maintained, and an open-door policy is followed.
