PHILIPPIAN MINISTRY is an outreach and discipleship ministry to three juvenile detention centers in West Virginia.  Emphasis is placed on reaching residents with the gospel and then enrolling them in correspondence courses so they can grow in their walk with Christ. MUSIC MINISTRIES Congregational Music is available in two worship styles:  the great hymns of the faith in the Traditional Service and praise & worship music in the Contemporary Service.  Both styles give each worshipper the opportunity to "sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God." (Col. 3:16) Choral Music offers opportunity for involvement in the choir ministry that ministers weekly in our Traditional Service and annually in our Christmas program.    Solos or Small Group Music are wonderful avenues of service and worship for those interested in using their abilities for the Lord.   Instrumental Music provides opportunity for those gifted on the piano and organ to minister in Traditional Services and those gifted on the guitar, drums and keyboard to serve in the Contemporary Service.  Those talented on other instruments ar also encouraged to use those abilities for the Lord.
