OUR MINISTRIES
Our ministries are an important and integral part of our church community. Whether you are a student, single or married there is a ministry designed for you. Please read about our ministries and consider becoming an active member of our community of faith.
Prayer Ministry
A Prayer Box is located just outside the sanctuary doors at New Scandinavia. Once a week the prayer requests will be collected and prayed for IN CONFIDENCE by our prayer team. This ministry will serve members of our congregation AND members of our community. For more information, see Barb Huset.
Women’s Ministry
