Our Ministries

At Camden, we understand ministry to be the service we offer to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

As those who have freely received His grace, we seek to joyfully and lovingly live as His ambassadors,

both in our church and in our community.

It is our desire to serve as Jesus served by lovingly speaking truth,

faithfully promoting righteousness, and humbly meeting needs.

We do all this because of our merciful Savior and for our gracious King.

Children's Ministries

Children make up most of the attendance

here at Camden.

We offer classes for children of all ages

during both the Sunday morning

and Wednesday night services.

Sunday School

There is a class for children of all ages. All the kids start together in a combined opening of singing, before splitting into age divided classes.

Nursery

Children make up a great majority of Camden's attendance. We provide a nursery for all regularly-scheduled services. All nursery and preschool staff are members of our church who have gone through a screening process that has been approved by our insurance company. Their love for children is clearly demonstrated in the care that the children receive.

Children's Church

Our Children's Church Program meets every Sunday morning during worship. It is geared for kids from Kindergarten to 3rd graders. Teachers and helpers are church members who rotate on a quarterly basis. These students sit with their parents in the auditorium during the song service and are dismissed to Children's Church during the final song.

Women's Ministries

We offer a variety of ministries for women to be able to utilize their gifts in service to one another.

Each ministry is led by various ladies of all ages in the church , in partnership with our pastoral staff.

Ladies Sunday School

On Sunday mornings, there is a ladies-only sunday school class for women of all ages. It is generally taught by a woman, who is a member of the church. Together they study a certain book of the Bible or Devotional pre-approved by the church leadership.

Ladies Bible Study

Every fall we offer a special Bible study just for the ladies. This 8-week study meets on a weekday and usually begins in September. These Bible studies are taught by a lady, who is a member of the church. The study is generally through a book, written by a Christian author and pre-approved by church leadership.

Ladies Missionary Society

This group of ladies meets monthly at the church, usually on the third Thursday of the month at 7:00pm. WMF is open to all women and girls of the church. We learn about and pray for our missionaries, hear special speakers, fellowship, and get involved in various service projects.

Men's Ministries

In a world where masculinity seems to be under attack, we provide many resources to learn more about what scripture has to say regarding godly men.

From prayer breakfasts to intense discipleship,

our church seeks to build up and encourage men

to lead their families according to God's design

and principles.

Men's Breakfast

Every other Saturday, men of all ages are invited to gather at the church for a time of fellowship. Breakfast is cooked and served by some of the men, who are members of Camden. Time is spent fellowshipping, studying the Word and praying for each other.

General Ministries

We serve one another via various outlets

and in varying frequency.

Some ministries happen weekly, monthly or yearly, while some simply pop up when the need arises.

willing to be used of by the Lord - it could be

serving in the Nursery,

working in the kitchen during special events,

teaching Sunday school or taking meals to someone recovering from surgery.

Prayer Meeting

Care Groups

On the fourth Sunday, there is no evening worship. We have Care Groups, which are divided based on age groups or intermixed. They meet in each others homes or the Church. Care Groups is a time of building relationships, fellowshipping, prayer and studying the Word in a small group format.

Youth Ministries

The name of our Jr./Sr. High youth ministry is Ignite, inspired by Philippians 2:15-16a.

“That you may be blameless and innocent,

children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life.” (ESV)

The world in which our youth are growing is becoming more crooked

and more twisted with each day,

so we make it our ambition to focus our attention on the study

and application of God’s Word to real life.

In Ignite we seek…

To know God
To love life
To serve others

These aren’t just bullet points. They are the main thrust of each year’s curriculum.

So, for the average youth attending Camden over a 6 year period,

they will cycle through these themes twice before graduating.

Our weekly meetings occur during the school year on Wednesday evenings

from 6:45-8:15pm where we enjoy games, fellowship, food, and study.

We also enjoy other activities and events throughout the year.
