Our woodworking ministry meets regularly on Tuesday mornings to build props, do repairs, and help with various construction needs that we have for both of our facilities. We have a shop at our South campus equipped with a variety of machines and power tools.

We have a group that meets every Monday evening at the Celebration Center to put together signs for our church and sister congregations. These are vinyl lettered signs on vinly or metal.
We own a cutter which assists in making this possible. In the first year of operation we saved our conference churches over $23,000. Great fun and work that seems like play!

We are blessed to have a greenhouse which we call the Garden of Grace. We take care of our Celebration Room plants and the others found throughout our buildings. We also grow plants for our flower beds at both locations and dream of taking plants to folks in the hospitals or nursing homes. Children’s classes can plant and watch seeds grow as they study lessons on sowing and reaping. Garden of Grace is a great way to get your hands “dirty” for a good cause!
