Small GroupsThis is the heart of Pathways Community Church. We consider ourselves a church of small groups, and we encourage every regular attendee to participate in a small group.

 

Discovery ClassesWe present a series of four Discovery Classes to help you get connected to others, the church and to God. These classes - - 101, 201, 301, and 401 - - will be offered several times each year. 

PathfindersThis is our Sunday morning Children’s Ministry. It is designed specifically for all kids from nursery through 6th grade. Pathfinders lays a foundation that helps kids learn how to walk on the path with Jesus.

AWANA We also provide this mid-week ministry for children called Awana. This Tuesday evening program includes lots of fun activities, but also focuses on important stories from the Bible, and scripture memorization.

Pathways G.Y.M. – Our Junior High ministry is an exciting place for kids to be, in the midst of some of the most difficult years kids face as they are growing up. This is a safe place with great friends and staff!

Real2RealHigh school is a time where kids real need to learn to live out what it means to be real in the real world. That is the reason for the name Real2Real. This has proven to be an important ministry in develop young adults who will walk with Jesus for the rest of their lives.

The College Group (Overflow) College kids are too old for high school, yet they feel too young to be an average adult. Many have not been regular attendees at church. The college group gives these young adults a place to belong, while encouraging them to get plugged into the life of the church, and grow in Christ. We meet on Sunday nights at 7:00pm.

CornerstoneA ministry for mature adults who are working together to build their faith and build the church! The Foundational Scripture: “As you come to him, the living Stone – rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him – you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.”     1 Peter 2:4-5

MenWe have an active Men’s Ministry with a variety of events and friendship groups designed for fun and for developing relationships. We also have several guys only small groups and one-on-one discipleship opportunities to help men grow closer to Jesus.

WomenThe women at Pathways know how to have fun, with fellowship events scheduled throughout the year. They also know how to help each other grow deeper in the Lord with a large number of small groups, and two study groups for women who really want to do some in-depth Bible study.

PrayerThe Pathways Prayer Team prays weekly for the prayer requests people list on their connection cards during our worship services. They also meet to pray between services at 10:30 on Sunday mornings. Then we also have a weekly prayer event for anyone to participate in. Watch the announcements in the bulletin each week at church for details about upcoming prayer events.

Celebrate RecoveryWe all have hurts, habits and hang-ups that we must deal with as we try to live our lives with Christ. Celebrate Recovery is a safe place that provides encouragement and accountability to help you work successfully through the sanctification process. Celebrate Recovery meets on Friday evenings at the church.

MissionsPathways supports world missions through regular giving through the Southern Baptist Conference. In addition we support several other individuals and organizations that are doing outreach. We also focus on a special missions project each month, to give members of the congregation the opportunity to serve or to give in very practical ways. Watch for bulletin for regular updates on these missions projects. 

AMOROne very practical way we serve in missions is through a monthly Amor trip, where people from Pathways build houses for disadvantaged people in Mexico. There is also a youth Amor trip in the spring, and a college Amor trip in the summer.

CounselingWe believe that many people can benefit from solid, Biblically-based, Christian counseling. Therefore we provide Christian counseling in our office at a very affordable rate. Dolores Nasrallah is available for appointments on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in the afternoons and evenings. Call Kathy in the church office to schedule an appointment.

Opportunities to ServeYou can serve others in lots and lots of different ways at Pathways. Each of the ministries listed here has a need for many volunteers in order to be effective. We have a list of the “Ways You Can Serve” in every ministry in the church, right here on the website. Click here for that list.  Take Discovery Class 301 to discover your SHAPE for ministry, then read the list and pray that God would show you where He would like you to plug in and serve.
