ACTION GROUPS

At Woodland we strive to be a well balanced church, reaching UP to God, reaching IN to support and encourage each other and reaching OUT to minister to a world in need of experiencing the Love of Christ. Our ACTION TEAMS are the tool that keeps Woodland moving and on track.

SHARING

SHARING God’s Love Inside and Outside our Walls – We offer God centered, engaging worship
experiences. We seek to share and live out the relevant message of God’s love to all we meet both
inside and outside our church walls.

Worship is a Response of the Heart

“Come let us sing for joy to the Lord;
let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before him with thanksgiving
and extol him with music and song.”
Psalm 95:1-2

and these members do not all have the same function,

PARTNERING

 Partnering in Missions – Our basis for Missions is the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20) as we go forward into our neighborhoods, community, state, country and world joining hands with other Christians to share the Love of Christ with others.

Missions is something we do wherever we go

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations.” Matt. 28:19

DEVELOPING

Developing Spiritually – Being a Christian is a lifestyle. We offer numerous opportunities to not only connect with God, but to grow spiritually, and know the joy of being a genuine daily follower of Christ.

"Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant,
is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness.
But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use
have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil."
Hebrews 5:13-14

  Coming June 19th

  Life Shapes – “LifeShapes is not a program. It’s a discipline—a way to understand ourselves, our relationships to Christ and to one another. It encourages church growth because it focuses on multiplication through disciples making disciples. This was the only way Jesus said to win the lost—not to lure them into a church pew and add them to the roll. Rather, we’re to make disciples…true believers who grow and make other believers.
