Each ministry area draws on specific spiritual gifts that empower individuals to operate effectively and joyfully in their assignments.

Housekeeping depends on helps, administration, and hospitality to keep God’s house clean and organized, steward church resources, and create a welcoming, peaceful space for worshippers. The Media Team leverages gifts of knowledge, communication, helps, and wisdom to spread the gospel clearly and compellingly, supporting worship and ministry with technology and sound messaging. In Language Translation, believers apply interpretation, knowledge, evangelism, and helps to break down language barriers, accurately convey biblical truths, and extend the gospel cross-culturally.
Hospitality itself is a vital ministry powered by the gifts of hospitality, helps, mercy, and encouragement, ensuring that every guest feels seen, valued, and cared for in a warm, relational atmosphere. The Dance Ministry draws on prophecy, worship, creativity, and exhortation to use movement as a means of prophetic worship and creative storytelling, encouraging and uplifting the audience through artistic expression.
