Sunday Morning Worship
God’s Word is vital to the growth of His children, manna for the soul and
spiritual nourishment for the strengthening of the spirit. Every service is
devoted to the leadership of the Holy Spirit, and God’s Word is preached with
power and truth. God’s Holy Word, through the power of the Holy Spirit, serves
to convict the lost, give strength to His children, as well as hope and
encouragement to those who are in need. (Nursery available during morning
worship.)
Sunday School
McFerrin places great emphasis on the biblical education of its body as a whole.
Consistently in keeping with God’s Word, education and the importance of wisdom
is emphasized throughout our congregation. It is imperative, especially during
this time of extreme sinfulness, that the Holy Word is studied in depth so
future generations may be well-equipped with the truth. Classes available for
all ages from nursery age to seniors
Bible Study
We all have many different needs, but none is greater than the need to have a
deeper revelation of the character of God. His true, intrinsic beauty is
revealed only to those who take time to have a close-up, concentrated focus on
the study of God, the Being, the great “I AM”” the One who spoke the world into
existence, the One who gently breathed life into a lifeless lump of clay, is
also the One who beckons His children to develop a deeper, more intimate
relationship with Him. Only when we take time to cultivate a close, in-depth,
personal relationship with our Creator can we be able to spread the “good news”
to others around us! A relationship such as this can only be developed through
concentrated study and time spent in His Word. McFerrin offers regular Bible
study opportunities for both men and women.
Christian Family Training (CFT)
Each Wednesday evening McFerrin offers bible study for all age groups. This
training is similar to Vacation Bible School and Sunday School combined.
Children, as well as adults, receive instruction from God’s Holy Word and are
encouraged to apply it in their everyday lives. Children also enjoy crafts,
music, and fellowship along with their classes.
L.I.F.T. Meetings
These meetings are for women who know the pain of living alone. Widowed,
divorced, or whatever the case may be, these meetings are designed for gaining
strength through God’s Word and encouragement through others who are
experiencing similar pain. (Meetings held each 3rd Saturday at 9:00 AM)
Youth Group
Young people are extremely important to McFerrin Church. Paul reminds us in his
writing how important it is to pray and exhort our fellow servants. He prayed
specifically for spiritual wisdom for his brothers and sisters in Christ and
asked “...that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory, give...the
spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge him” (Ephesians 1:17). Our
young people meet each Wednesday and Sunday evening at 6:00 PM to participate in
Bible study, fellowship, and Bible games specifically designed to develop
greater knowledge and understanding of God’s Word. Classes: Preteen (Grades
4-6), Middle & High School
Congregational & Choir Music
Music is vital to our worship services. Through congregational as well as choir
hymnals, God’s glory is magnified and hearts are lifted in praise to our
Heavenly King. Truly, God’s name is glorified as the voices of His children ring
out in unison to proclaim His goodness and love!
Mission Outreach
McFerrin Missionary Baptist Church is dedicated to spreading the Word of God.
This is accomplished through many different efforts…….missions, missionaries,
Christian publications, etc. McFerrin sponsors a mission in Jamaica and also in
Arizona. We have also helped to sponsor many young churches during the early
stages of their organization. Words of Hope Ministry is another mission we
sponsor. The world of technology offers a unique opportunity to spread the
gospel! Visit www.wordsofhope.org and read article of faith, encouragement, and
doctrinal issues.
Other Church Opportunities
McFerrin offers “Vacation Bible School” each year in June to provide children an
opportunity to learn more in God’s Holy Word and experience the enjoyment of
fellowship with their peers. It is an exciting week of study, crafts, food, and
fellowship.
Church Library
In keeping with the belief that Christian education is of utmost importance,
McFerrin has established a church library which offers children and adults alike
opportunities to check out inspirational as well as instructional books. God
holds us all responsible for every word, thought, and action. Therefore, in
providing wholesome, Christian literature for our members, we can take joy in
knowing we are truly building up His kingdom!
