CHRISTIAN  FELLOWSHIP  AT  COOL  SPRING


"They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." - Acts 2:42

There are many options for Christian Fellowship at Cool Spring for all ages.  In general, fellowship activities can be broken down into

This page discusses some of those opportunities, and gives photo examples from fellowship activities in the past.  There is also an extensive listing of photos and videos from prior activities on the Download and Photo Page.

One question may be how to stay on top of what is going on at Cool Spring.  The Sunday morning bulletin at Worship Service lists many activities, and you can subscribe to Emailed newsletters from several ministries.  Of course, the website updates activities frequently.

FELLOWSHIP  AND  EDUCATIONAL  OPPORTUNITIES

The #1 fellowship opportunity is being involved in a small group Bible Study.  These include Sunday morning Bible Study for all ages, and other small groups that meet during the week.  Click the links below for more information:

There are also a number of seasonal Bible studies, with new courses added in the fall, winter, and spring.  Many of these, such as Community Bible Study, are ongoing, but you can still join at any time.  Many of these give the opportunity for separate men's and women's groups, as well as student-age groups.

FELLOWSHIP  THROUGH  VOLUNTEERING

There are endless opportunities of service and ways to be involved at Cool Spring.  Most of these also include Christian fellowship, as everyone is working together toward a common goal like a member of a team.  Some activities are annual events, such as volunteering to help with C.A.R.I.T.A.S., Vacation Bible School, or annual musical / drama events.  Other activities are ongoing, such as watching children in the nursery on Sunday mornings, teaching Sunday School or AWANA, helping on a chair team, helping with Upward, or working at the Rec Center front desk.

All activities of service and fellowship are rewarding, and there is something for everyone - even children.  The Volunteer Page is frequently updated and shows current volunteer needs.  Also, every Ministry section has a listing of potential places of service and fellowship.
