Missions
Education The
Missions Ministry at Cool Spring includes education in Missions, supervised by
the Missions Education Team. Currently, there are three main categories of
Missions Education at Cool Spring:
-
A.W.A.N.A. - AWANA is Missions Education for children from age 4
through 5th grade, and stands for "Approved Workmen are
Never Ashamed." AWANA is a nondenominational
ministry that assists churches in reaching children with the gospel of
Jesus Christ and training them to serve Him. The heartbeat of AWANA is
reaching children around the world with the good news that Jesus Christ
loves them and can save them from sin. Each week, children in our
Awana clubs play games, memorize Bible verses, listen to Bible stories,
and participate in mission opportunities. Children have fun while being
taught the Word of God.
-
Student Ministry - Mission Waves - The Student Ministry at Cool Spring includes
Middle School and High School age children, in graded six through
twelve. It is very involved in community, regional, and
international missions projects. Click the Student Ministry above
for more information, and also visit the
Student
Ministry web site.
- Adults on Mission - Our desire is to
develop groups of adults that will meet on a regular basis for mission
support and action within our church, community, and world. This
ministry is based on small groups and is comprised of both men and
women. Groups can support existing church sponsored missions
ministries or develop their own as determined by the passions and gifts
of its members.
- Women's
Missionary Union (WMU) - The WMU is active at Cool Spring, and
provides opportunities for women in our church family to become involved
in missions. They keep the congregation aware of world-wide
efforts to share the gospel and enhance learning by making materials
with a mission focus available. The purpose of the group is to
study current missions and promote these in the church. They place
special emphasis on prayer for missionaries and promote the four annual
offerings for missions: Association, State, North American, and
International. Women in the WMU:
* pray for and give to missions
* do missions
* learn about missions
* develop spiritually toward a missions lifestyle
* participate in the work of the church and the denomination
