The purpose of the Prayer and Bible Band is to train women to know their Bibles that they may become acquainted with the Word of God and help to lead others to right and righteousness. The principal objective is that Christ be in the hearts of God’s creation, His people and that our testimonies and attitudes will always be Christ honoring.

The aim of the Purity Class is to keep in focus the true values of good morals, high standards of living, and to discourage all forms of vile behavior that violates true Christ virtue. The Purity Class is unique and unlike any other organization of its kind in that, it not only teaches youth how to be pure, chaste, and holy in the home, school, neighborhood and church; but it offers a full activity and involvement program that promotes a Christian lifestyle. The Purity Class achieves its goals in many ways including forums, rap sessions and other programs.

Classes are held every Tuesday except the third Tuesday of the month.

The Ministers’ Wives Circle is an organized group of minister’s wives. They teach and learn to have patience, endurance, forbearance and a heart full of love, mercy and understanding for everyone. They are helpers, counselors and examples for women church members.

Through special programs, talks and meetings the minister’s wife can benefit from the experience of other minister’s wives. In some cases, minister’s wives can fill speaking engagements for her husband. Whatever her qualifications are she is the power behind the throne and should assist wherever she can.

President: Missionary Marketta Thomaston

The Deacons’ Wives Circle can be depended upon in the time of bereavement and illness. They are to take responsibility of helping at funerals and to be of personal aid to the family. The deacon wife may also help with the preparation of communion.

Like their husbands, the deacons wife should be filled with the Holy Ghost and capable of being entrusted with the program of God.

The Nurses’ Unit’s role is to serve the church by providing a health ministry which promotes holistic health and healing.

The responsibility of the usher board is a unique ministry in itself. The major mission is to greet the members and visitors at the door with a smile and reassure them that they are in the Lord’s house. The ushers should make sure that everyone is properly seated and if a program or bulletin is prepared, make sure that they have one. The beauty of the Lord’s house is its order and the efficient user board helps to create a spiritual and welcoming atmosphere in the name of servant leadership.

This club’s purpose is to ensure the personal growth and development of girls and young ladies. A Big Sister is a source of inspiration to a growing girl especially if she has no sisters or brothers or there is no mother in the home. The Big Sister will provide guidance necessary for the development of womanhood. The Big Sisters plan and engage in wholesome physical, religious, educational and social activities.

Big Sisters must profess salvation, possess the highest moral character, show self respect, “be a pattern and model of good deeds and works, behave prudently and take life seriously.” Several training sessions and field trips are scheduled through-out the year.
