Christian Education Ministry
The COR Christian Education Ministry team is focused on providing the best possible education experiences to people of all ages - separately and together - through Sunday School and Children’s Church, middle and high school youth activities, and various current and planned Bible study groups, in a nurturing and loving environment.
Our excellent Director of Christian Education, Steven Helm, collaborates with the team members and other groups within and outside COR as he and the team plan and implement the educational and inspirational activities that Steven communicates through his emails, COR website page, Facebook and Twitter postings.

If you’ve ever smiled and said hello to a stranger, you’ve been part of outreach! We greet everyone on Sunday mornings and hope to set the tone for a great worship experience. We make sure your name gets spelled right on a printed name tag for future visits.
Are you a new homeowner in the area? We’ll drop off a welcome gift to help you feel at home.
“Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by doing so some have entertained angels without knowing it.” Hebrews 13:1-2. We are reminded of Christ’s love for each of us-friends and strangers alike. Good news indeed to share-in even the most unlikely situations....Outreach Team

Worship
Ministry
The Worship Team is entrusted with the responsibility of working to enhance the worship service for all those who gather to receive the word and sacraments. There are many groups who assist in this mission. The Altar Guild prepares the elements for the worship services. The Ushers greet old and new members alike as well as guests. Lay Assistants help the pastors during the service Communion Assistants and Lay Assistants administer the elements. Acolytes also assist with the service. Members of our Worship Team are also responsible for planning the amazing music that enriches each Sunday service as well as special services. We hope to add a drama ministry component to the Worship Team later this year.

Music
Ministry
It has been said that one of the most delightful and rewarding ways to serve in a congregation is to become a part of its music ministry. Proclaiming the love and mercy of Christ through music is a privilege and a joy. At COR we are blessed to offer several opportunities in both vocal and instrumental groups. We are always ready to welcome new singers and instrumentalists to our music ministry family.
Parish Choir
Our 35 member parish choir leads worship on non-Americana Sundays and for special services from September through the end of May. We rehearse on Wednesdays from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m.
Handbells
COR (Christ’s Own Ringers) Ringers rehearse on Thursdays from 7:00 – 8:30 pm. We have a full 5 octave set of Mallmark handbells and 3 octaves of chimes. We are always looking for ringers and are willing to train anyone interested.
One Accord
One Accord is the group that leads worship on the first Sunday of each month in what we call the Americana Service. Violin, Viola, Oboe, Stringed Bass, Mandolin, Guitar, Banjo, and Piano plus a quartet of vocalists make up the ensemble. They lead worship in a vibrant and enthusiastic style.
In addition to these groups, we have many fine instrumentalists who give of their time and talent to accompany the choirs or help lead worship on Sundays. We welcome anyone with the heart to serve in our music ministry.
