We would love to welcome you to the Flatwoods family or visit with you.  We want to get to know you, so if you want to share something or have any questions that aren’t addressed here, be sure and let us know.


      Adult Ministries:


     Adults have a variety of opportunities for learning and growth throughout the week.  These range from parenting classes that draw on Biblical values to reinforce strong principles in each other, to small groups, to classes.  Additional activities provide time for fellowship throughout the week.  Seniors remain active in “Live Wires,” with frequent trips and weekly times of singing and praise.  Young couples and single adults also grow together with the outreach and growth in the Word.  


           We enjoy a time of teaching and worship on Sundays, accompanied by praise in music and an array of Sunday School classes to delve into Scripture.


            Several discreet outreach programs focus on meeting the physical and spiritual needs of members and local individuals.  The “shut-ins,” or members who are unable to attend church for health reasons, are provided with meals and sermon recordings once a month.   Our deacons manage a benevolence ministry to provide for church members in need, and others with legitimate ailing circumstances.


    










     Youth (See Teen Youth Page):


   Flatwoods keeps an emphasis on individual families in the congregation, but also provides activities especially geared toward young people.  Teenagers are challenged to sharpen themselves into young men and women molded in the image of Christ by youth director Joey Cook-- and each other.  A variety of conferences, food, fun, volleyball, and randomness pale in comparison to the emphasis on personal spiritual growth and love demonstrated in life.  A student led band leads worship in music, and the lessons are Biblically grounded to be life focused.


        Younger students are challenged to let Christ permeate their lives by Children’s Church, an assembly that focuses on developing young minds with the message of the Lord.  Wednesday Night is a prime time event for elementary and middle schoolers as well, providing a variety of lessons, food and activities with peers.


        From nursery to college, the focus of youth ministry is the same as any other--to draw people to the gospel of Christ and message of the Word.


     Missions:











            Flatwoods’ belief in the Great

Commission and need to spread the

gospel leads to a focus on worldwide

missions.  In addition to sup-

porting many missionaries worldwide, Flatwoods has several church members who have surrendered to full time mission work.


      Dr. Joe Morell and his wife Jessie had been missionaries to Lithuania and the Baltics from 1997 to 2009, prior to coming on board as senior Pastor.  Near the end of that tenure,  God has called them to work toward establishing Bible Institutes to train local Christian leaders worldwide, and develop the Missionary Training Ministry, a modular-based class to share Biblical and practical principles with missionaries leaving for the field.  Dr. Morell continues to serve as a board member and Administrator for MTM.


        Ernie Lawson also serves as Flatwoods’ missionary to Japan.  He has spent decades on the mission field in Asia translating texts, establishing indigenous churches, and building infrastructure with Bible Institutes and Christian resources.
