Christian Ed Committee
The Christian Ed committee provides the administration of our Sunday School program, including recruiting and training teachers, reviewing the curriculum used in the classrooms and scheduling the Children’s Worship Sunday, which takes place the first Sunday of each month throughout the school year. The children, aged Pre-K-grade 6 present a Christmas and Easter program each year for the congregation. The confirmation program for 8th graders is an on-line course through the Damascus Project. It is a twelve month program designed to help small churches provide a faith based confirmation experience. Ebenezer also offers an adult Bible study three Sunday evenings per month. This is a small group of people anxious to learn more about how God speaks to us through the scriptures. Our Sunday School and Bible study are both open to all people, and you do not need to be a member of Ebenezer to join in either of these programs. Both groups meet September through May.
Mission Education Committee
The Mission Education Committee is responsible for developing a global and local mission vision, educating the congregation regarding mission opportunities, managing mission related finances and projects and encouraging active participation in outreach. The Mission Ed committee plans and oversees special projects and events in the life of the church which will raise and donate monies for Our Church’s Wider Mission (OCWM) and other designated causes. Some of the events sponsored by the Mission Ed committee have included much needed hygiene products, children’s clothing, birthday cake mixes and frosting tubs for kids’ birthdays, all which are forwarded to the local Salvation Army office. We’ve also helped with toys for Harbor House for domestic violence victims, and given financial support for disasters in the United States and foreign countries through the Red Cross when disasters occur. The Mission Ed committee is very proud of Ebenezer Church and the support our members have given to these causes,
Women’s Guild
The Women’s Guild is a committed group of women whose goals are to serve the church, as well as the local community and the wider world around us, and to provide social opportunities for our members. It is open to all members of the congregation, men and women alike. The Guild meets every 3rd Thursday of the month, (except December) at 7Angels Restaurant in Chilton for breakfast, a brief meeting and socializing.
Through fundraising and offerings we provide for needs within the church and support many worthwhile entities beyond our walls. Some of our outreach has included baking pies for Chilton’s Thanksgiving Day Express, support for Our Church’s Wider Mission, and providing a remembrance gift to families when their child is baptized. We are also available to coordinate funeral luncheons at the request of church family members.
