ADVANCE Hope & Future

"For I know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future". Jeremiah 29:11

Hope & Future are two seperate groups that work hand in hand to bring a hope and a future to those that need it.

Hope is our visitation team. They visit our guests that come on Sunday morning, as well as, once a month they will be visiting the children in the hospital that are so looking for a bright hope and a normal future rather than one filled with despair and sickness.

Future is our performance ministry team that accompanies Hope to the hospital and nursing homes, etc. The Future team is chosen out of the children in ADVANCE Choir, Action, Puppets, and Balloons. The participants of Future are the best of the best, talent wise, but must also show a strong ability or desire to be a leader and minister. When they accompany Hope on visitation they will perform short pieces that showcase their particular talent with a heart of ministry behind it.

ADVANCE Commitment Agreement

This ADVANCE year will be divided into three seasons: August to November, January to March, and April to July. The goal of ADVANCE ministries: choir, drama, puppets, balloons, clowns, and visitation, is to be able to minister regularly in the Sunday morning services as well as planned outreaches and events.

Attendance Commitment

1. I understand that I am allowed to miss two  practices per season.

2. I will be in the required room at the scheduled time.

3. If I am unable to attend a Sunday morning service or planned event, I will notify leadership two days prior to the ministry date.

Behavior/Obedience

1. I will come with intent and purpose to watch, listen, learn, and respect other team members and leadership. The short time planned for practice will not be a play or babysitting period.

2. I commit to Godly behavior at all ADVANCE practices, events, Sunday services.

3. I realize that God can use me to honor him only as much as I also honor, obey, and respect other team members and ADVANCE leaders.

My Commitment

1. I will live the life of a Christian leader. If I do not, I will remove myself voluntarily or know that i will be asked to step down for a season and will do so without complaint.
