Children

Welcome to Kid’sTown, which encompasses all of the children’s ministries of Evangel! We trust that you will find plenty of opportunities listed here that your child will enjoy.

Kid’sTown is a place where kids have fun, are loved and connect with God. Each week in Kid’sTown, kids are taught practical lessons from God’s Word in fun and creative ways through ministries for infants to sixth graders. Each ministry is staffed by trained volunteers who love helping kids. Next time you’re in the neighborhood, drop by Kid’sTown with your children. They’re going to love it…and so will you!

Below is a list of some of the regular opportunities for your children in Kid’sTown. In addition to these weekly ministries, we have exciting special events like summer VBS, summer camps, HarvestFest, a winter VBS, missions trips and more. If you would like more information about Kid’sTown, please contact us. We would love to meet you.

	Sundays @ 10am
	TinyTown (Infants-2 years) Our trained TinyTown nursery staff are happy to provide a safe and loving environment for your little one. The nursery is available during all of our main gatherings, including Sunday morning and Wednesday evening services. When you drop off your child, you will receive a pager allowing our caregivers to contact you if the need arises. Security is a priority for us in TinyTown, so we ensure that children are only released to authorized individuals. The director of TinyTown has been on staff at Evangel for more than twelve years, so you can know that your little ones are in great hands.
	LittleTown (3 years-K) The staff of LittleTown are looking forward to caring for your preschooler or kindergartener. LittleTown is always bustling during our Sunday morning service, as children learn Bible stories, make crafts, play games and sing songs. There are plenty of toys and snacks, too!
	UpTown (Grade 1-6) UpTown is the place where children learn practical lessons from the Bible that they can apply to their daily life. Children have many different learning styles, so these lessons are taught by caring leaders in creative ways, including video, object lessons, hilarious skits, games and more. The kids also sing the latest songs of worship that get them out of their seats, praising God with energy and excitement.
	Wednesdays @ 7 pm
	Rainbows (Pre-School Boys & Girls) Noah’s Ark provides an exciting theme for the Bible stories, crafts, full-color activity pages and games for this preschool club. The caring Rainbows club leaders help the boys and girls earn colorful animal badges to add to their vests as they learn God’s Word and grow in their relationship with Christ.
	Royal Rangers (Boys, K-5th) Royal Rangers is an exciting environment for your active boy to be mentored by caring and capable leaders. The boys grow spiritually through Bible study, memorization and devotionals, but they are also helped to grow mentally, physically and socially through participation in a wide range of age-specific activities and recreation. Royal Rangers enjoy great outdoor adventures through camping events locally and around the state.
	Missionettes (Girls, K-5th) Through love and acceptance, our club leaders help girls discover their full potential, which begins with a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. The clubs provide an environment of support and accountability while helping girls to develop their gifts and abilities. In addition, girls build lifelong relationships with each other and with mentors who encourage them to be spiritual leaders.
	FUSE (6th Grade Boys & Girls) Our trained FUSE staff is excited to meet your sixth grader and help them make the transition from elementary school to middle school. FUSE has been specifically designed to build a bridge for your son or daughter from childhood to adolescence. Students are taught important lessons from God’s Word about issues that affect them as pre-teens. During the year, FUSE students have the opportunity to gradually adapt to Uprising Student ministries by participating periodically in the Wednesday night youth service. In addition to Wednesday nights, the kids enjoy lock-ins, outings and a summer missions trip.

Welcome to UpRising Student Ministries!

There is an uprising that is happening among the students of Evangel. Together they are breaking free of the world and rising up to their potential in Christ.

Have you ever thought there was more to life than what you are experiencing now? Do feel like you are caught in a cultural undertow that is keeping you from being all that God created you to be? If you are looking for a place unlike any other, where you can discover your divine destiny and be helped to achieve it, you’ve found it. UpRising Student Ministries believes that God has a unique purpose for your life, but you can’t fulfill it by trying to be like everyone else.

If you want to explore God’s incredible plan for your life and how to get started in following it, come and hang out with us. You’ll find students just like you who want more than what the world offers, and who believe a relationship with Christ is where it begins.

Stop by on a Wednesday Night at 7:00 pm for one of our midweek “main events,” which include crazy and sometimes messy games, cool giveaways, drama and video, intimate worship, small group discussions, powerful messages and the chance to make lasting friendships.

In addition to Wednesday nights, we also go to concerts, play sports together, sponsor fun activities, attend weekend retreats and summer camps, have missions trips and more. If you’d like more information, contact us. Kara and I would love to meet you!

	Speed-the-Light The concept is simple: we give so others can speed the light of the gospel to a world in darkness. This is accomplished by providing the essential transportation and creative communication equipment for missionary evangelism. Through modern transportation, radio, television, the printed word, and equipment for mass evangelism, our missionaries can better fulfill the Great Commission. Speed the Light (STL) is the student-initiated, volunteer, charitable program that Uprising supports. Through this partnership, we are providing much-needed equipment to missionaries across the nation and in over 180 countries around the world. Since its beginning, STL has raised over $220 million for missionary equipment around the world.
	Fine Arts Fine Arts is a discipleship tool designed to help students discover and develop their ministry gifts. Beginning in September each year, Uprising students start preparing their entries for the state and national festivals. Students may enter as many as 35 of the 52 categories offered in seven main divisions: Art, Communication, Drama, Exhibition, Instrumental, Vocal, and Writing. In 2008, Uprising had multiple students travel to Charlotte, NC, to compete against the best of over 70,000 middle and high school students from around the country.
	Drama Team When Jesus spoke to people about the Kingdom of God, He often used stories, some humorous and some heart-wrenching, to communicate truth in a way that everyone could understand, but no one could ignore. This is what we try to do. We want to convey the powerful and profound truths of God’s Kingdom through stories of everyday life that people can relate to--especially those who don’t know God. Using many different means, like human video, dance, spoken drama and improv, our students are addressing real world issues from a Biblical perspective. If you have an interest in drama and would like more information, please contact us.
	Bible Quiz In Bible Quiz, students learn God’s Word and test their knowledge against their peers in Georgia and around their country. In the process they enjoy competition, draw closer to Christ and make new friends. Please contact us if you’d like to know more about BQ.

Women

Men

HonorBound Men’s Ministry is committed to providing an atmosphere that encourages men to develop stronger relationships with one another and more importantly with God.

The Men’s Ministry is an opportunity to connect with other men through relaxed get-togethers, sports, outdoor activities, special events and conferences to deepen their commitment to Christ in order to become better husbands, fathers and spiritual leaders of their families.

Please visit the News & Events page for information about upcoming men’s opportunities.

Small Groups

Small groups are the heartbeat of Evangel. They provide the "glue" that holds the church together. Through them, we stay connected as God continues to bless us with growth in our Sunday service. On the first Sunday evening of every month, these small groups meet all over our area. Every group has its own personality, but they all include a Bible discussion of the Sunday message, time to pray for and encourage each other, as well as a relaxed time to eat and enjoy one another’s company. Contact us if you would like help in find a group that is right for you.

Don’t let yourself get “lost in the crowd.” We've found the people who really grow at Evangel are the ones who join a small group. Being in Christ-centered relationships is where life change happens best. Loving and being loved, this is why we connect with others.

Missions

Evangel is a church with a passion to fulfill the call of Jesus in Matthew 28:19-20 to “go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.”

We are striving to reach our city, our country and our world through financial and volunteer investment like-minded ministries and missionaries. These men and women, whom God has gifted and called to take the message of Jesus to other people groups, extend Evangel’s reach around the globe. Here is a partial listing of the missionaries and ministries we support every month:

Please contact us if you would like more information about giving to missions, or traveling on a short-term missions trip.

Worship Arts

Welcome to the Worship Arts Ministries page. One of the most distinctive features of life at Evangel is our heartfelt praise and worship. This music, that moves us into His presence, provides an opportunity for young and old of every culture and background to celebrate the goodness of God. We glorify Jesus with contemporary worship that incorporates all styles of music, so that every individual may experience the presence of God in a real and meaningful way.

The gifted and dedicated musicians and singers who lead us at all of the main gatherings make up the Worship Arts Team. If you are interested in being a part of the Worship Arts ministry at Evangel, take some time to explore the opportunities listed below that are the open door to involvement in this important area of ministry.

Kara Lee
Worship Arts Director

Choir
The Evangel Choir is comprised of singers who are passionate about worshipping God and dedicated to declaring His goodness with excellence. This group, which includes both men and women, of all ages and ethnicities, loves to sing songs from composers and arrangers such as Geron Davis, Mark Condon, Carol Cymbala and Bradley Knight, just to mention a few.

If you have an interest in joining the choir, please know that you would be warmly welcomed. The Choir has year-round open enrollment. To get started, you can contact us for more information, or you can just drop in for a rehearsal. We meet in the Chapel every Wednesday at 7:00 pm to prepare our hearts in worship before breaking away to Room 103 to practice.

Worship Team
Our skilled vocal and instrumental musicians love leading the congregation into the Throne Room of God. We enjoy praising God with a wide range of songs in varying styles, from Chris Tomlin to Israel Houghton, classic hymns to Kurt Carr, Matt Redman to Martha Munizzi.

Singers on the worship team are drawn from the choir, and auditions are held year-round for these opportunities. It is helpful if vocalists have the ability to harmonize by ear in order to learn new songs and blend with the group.

Instrumentalists interested in joining the band should preferably be able to read chord charts and improvise in several keys. The band rehearses every 2nd and 4th Monday of each month at 7:00 PM. Please contact us if you would like more information of if you have an interest in sitting in on a rehearsal.

Dance
Dance is a dynamic and powerful expression of worship to God that we often incorporate in seasonal productions and is a also a part of our weekend service on occasion. To become a part of this growing ministry, please contact us for more information.

Drama
One of the creative ways God speaks to us is through dramas involving real life characters, in real life situations, working through real life issues from a Biblical perspective. We look forward to incorporating drama into our seasonal productions, as well as weekly services. If you are interested in helping to establish a great drama ministry, please contact us for more information.

Baptism

According to God’s Word, the next important step after we put our faith in Christ is baptism! For over 2,000 years, Christians have been baptized to declare to the world that they are followers of Jesus Christ. This is a significant step on your spiritual journey and we look forward to celebrating it with you.

At Evangel, we provide regular opportunities to be baptized. If you would like to be baptized, please contact us for more information on the next baptism event and to be registered for the baptism class.
