ELM & HUDSON CHURCH OF CHRIST

Family Ministries

 

 

– Family Focused –

 

          In today’s world, the family is bombarded by the media and outside forces that can easily tear it apart if the proper boundaries are not set.  We are losing many marriages because of the many forces that are out in the world trying to change the definition of God’s view of marriage.

 

            At Elm & Hudson we want to take every opportunity to build families through many different avenues, bringing families together for special studies and fun outings that promote family unity.  Even in churches today there are activities that divide families, and here at Elm & Hudson we want to put families back together.  We want to help families establish the Biblical foundation that will keep our families strong and together.

 

– The Focus of Elm & Hudson Family Ministries –

 

Premarital/Marital

 

            Through premarital seminars, video series, and counseling, couples are better prepared for the special dynamics that come in a new marital relationship.  Ongoing series on marriage help in continuing to build strong ties that will keep marriages together.  At Elm & Hudson we are building families that will last.

 

Children’s Ministry

 

            God has blessed Elm & Hudson with many families with young children.  They are very important to us.  On Sunday morning at 9:30 and Wednesday evening at 7:00 we offer Bible classes for all children.  It is never too early to begin building faith in Jesus in our children.  We have a child training room at the back of the balcony to provide a quiet place to take your child on those days that he or she is a little more rambunctious and needs special attention.  A nursery is in the back as well for babies and nursing mothers.

 

Youth Ministry

 

            Elm & Hudson has an active youth ministry program.  Teens are kept busy learning to serve not just being served.  Youth devotionals, Bible camps, youth rallies, service projects, retreats, and fun outings are regularly planned.  Our Youth minister is always available for those special one-on-one talks that teens need from time to time.  Keeping teens busy doing good is our goal.  Our teens regularly participate and serve during worship assemblies.

 

Older Adults

 

            Aging is one of the most misunderstood issues we face in the church today.  Many older people feel underappreciated and not useful.  We want all of our senior saints to know that they are an important part of our church and a vital resource.  We realize that they may want to slow down some but we want to use their talents as much as they are willing.  There are many fellowship activities planned that our seniors enjoy.

 

– Small Groups –

 

Everyone at Elm & Hudson is encouraged to be in a small group.  This gives everyone greater service opportunities and provides a smaller family atmosphere where everyone can become better acquainted and loved.  Our small groups meet once a month following our evening worship assembly.
