Experience God’s Love - Be a Part Of Our Ministries
Adults
MEN’S MINISTRY
As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend. (Prov. 27:17 NKJV)
The mission of the Men’s Ministry here at Laurel Another Chance Church is to provide a real and honest approach to the issues that men face today. Every 4th Saturday of the month, men from all across the region collectively gather together for a men's breakfast, where we can eat great food, engage in challenging discussions, and encourage one another to be the men God's called us to be.
WOMEN'S MINISTRY
Proverbs 31 says that “A woman who fears the Lord is to be praised”. We are honored to provide a ministry dedicated to women who are passionate about growing in their relationship with God through fellowship with other women of faith. We provide engaging opportunities like monthly Breakfast Meetings to gather together, break bread, pray, and encourage one another while being grounded in Godly wisdom, knowledge, and understanding.
“She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue” - Proverbs 31:26
Children
CHILDREN'S CHURCH
Children's Church is available for children ages 5 yrs. old-4th grade. Meets on Sunday at 10 a.m. immediately following worship.
The primary focus of this class is to build relationships with God and each other through bible stories and activities while applying the principles of God's Word to daily life. This program's primary goal is to teach the love of Jesus Christ to each student, challenging them to grow closer to God. Children's Church provides an environment of support and accountability while helping kids to develop their gifts and abilities.

OUTREACH
Laurel Another Chance Church is grateful for opportunities to provide outreaches that serve our diverse community in a variety of ways. It's more than just fulfilling a need, it's about making a friend. We're always looking for opportunities to be there for people no matter where life has left them. We encourage others to join us as we gather the scattered and fainting sheep, bringing them hope, help, and healing.
