ADULT MINISTRIES

Women’s Ministry
Women at CNC have lots of fun together. We provide lots of ways for women to connect and support one another. Some of things we do are:

Women’s Retreat
Secret Sisters Program
Annual Missionary Tea
Women’s Bible Studies
Christmas Party

For information on our current activities, check the Women’s Ministry bulletin board in the church narthex.

Men’s Ministry

The highlight of our Men’s Ministry year is our Fall Retreat. Special events through the year include BBQs and game nights.

PEP 55+ (Seniors)

Our seniors are a group of dedicated, joyful adults. We are active in almost every area of church ministry and leadership. We also have fun together. We go to concerts, plays, have picnics and visit interesting places. On the last Sunday of each month we have a potluck meal or go to a restaurant together. If you are 55 or over, please join us! Pick up a PEP brochure in the information rack in the church narthex.

Missions

Worldwide outreach is a very important part of Cordova Neighborhood Church. Every year, in cooperation with the Christian & Missionary Alliance, we hold a world outreach conference. CNC also supports the Great Commission Fund which finances the ministries of C&MA missionaries. The C&MA has nearly 800 missionaries in 52 countries around the world. For more information about the Christian & Missionary Alliance and their work, go to www.cmalliance.com

Small Groups

“If you are wondering how to deepen your relationship with God and discover how to live as His disciple, one essential ingredient for spiritual growth is being involved in a small group ministry. Small groups come in all sorts of varieties, shapes and sizes from our Joyous Crafters group to Church History and Bible Studies. The majority of students who have developed a lasting commitment to Christ in our youth ministry have been in a small group.

A small group can help you grow in 3 ways in your relationship with God: (1) You grow by growing with others. (2) You learn about God’s word and how to apply it to your life. (3) You share your joys and struggles and pray about the challenges you’re facing in your life. When you’re in a small group, you soon discover helpful ideas about how to love and live for God in a more meaningful way.

Whatever the topic or specific design of a small group, small groups that succeed do a few important things: (1) They meet for a specific purpose. (2) They emphasize a high commitment in order to develop relationships and consistency. (3) Whatever is said in the group stays in the group; confidences are kept, not broken. And (4) they are balanced, flexible and meet the needs of the people in the group. Getting involved in a small group will help you deepen your friendship with God and others who want to do the same. John 13: 34-35″
