Ministries

Children's Ministry
Vickie Rader and Donna Reynolds direct our dynamic children's ministry, which includes children's church, Sunday and Wednesday night meetings, Easter and Christmas programs, a Fall Festival and Vacation Bible School.  We love our children and fully recognize that the future of the church rest with them.  We seek to provide a meaningful, loving and safe place for them in our church.

Epic Youth Ministries is named for our recognition that we are part of the awesome story of God.   We come together to study the Word get to know God better and equip ourselves to participate in the ongoing mission of the Kingdom.  Along the way we have lots of fun, build great friendships and create amazing memories.  Epic Youth has a separate Sunday School class on Sunday morning for senior and junior high students, and we come together on Sunday nights at 5:00 and Wednesday nights at 6:30.

Loving People Ministry
No commandment of Scripture is any more clear and comprehensive than the call to help a brother or sister in need.  In keeping with the steady instruction of our wonderful pastor, we named our compassionate outreach program the "Loving People" ministry.  This ministry includes maintenance of a food pantry, participation in the Angel tree program and the establishment of a financial assistance program.

Men's Ministry
John Flippen directs our men's ministry.  Each month the men of the church meet for breakfast and hear from a featured speaker.  They work together to serve their local church and community through service projects and to help one another grow spiritually through Christian fellowship and accountability.

Missions
We serve the one true Sovereign God and his church is a universal one.  Kristie Anglin leads our mission program and we meet regularly for services with a mission emphasis and seek to learn more about our brothers and sisters around the world and ways we can help carry out the Great Commission.  We also participate in various local ministries and outreach.

Nursing Home Outreach
Under the leadership of Pastor Delbert, we join the residents of Claiborne Hughes Nursing Home for a service there on the first Sunday of the month at 2:00.  We sing praises, pray, study the Word and fellowship together.  The holidays include some special activities including cookies and caroling for Christmas.  We are grateful for each of these members of our extended church family and the blessing they always bring us.

SAMM, Senior Adult Music Ministry
Under the leadership of Ken Cooper, Franklin Community of Faith supports and participates in SAMM, Senior Adult Music Ministry (seniormusic.org).  This non-profit organization was founded in 2004 to contribute to the quality of life for senior adults through the gift of music.  SAMM provides musical performances for retirement homes and assisted living centers and has produced a CD of favorite hymns and gospel music which it distributes to senior adults.  To learn more about SAMM, visit their website at seniormusic.org.

Senior Adult Ministry
Our seniors have chosen the name "JOY Club" for their ministry group in recognition of the joy possible in Jesus-centered community.  The JOY Club regularly fellowships together in local meetings, social gatherings, day trips and retreats.  They also seek to be a blessing to others through compassionate fund-raisers and service projects.

Singles' Ministry
Sarah Jean Johnson leads our singles ministry which has the dual focus of fellowship and spiritual development.  Both Sarah and Pastor Delbert serve on the District Council for singles ministry, and we are blessed by their leadership.  In addition to attending our local meetings, meals and outings, we often partner with nearby churches for singles events.

Women of Faith Ministry
Cathy Owens leads our Women of Faith group.  WOF is a group of women that studies, prays and serves together in an effort to strengthen relationships with one another and with God and to minister in and through the church.  WOF meets every third Thursday night of the month for food, fellowship, Bible study and ministry planning.  Each year the ladies enjoy a time of retreat together and throughout the year participate in a variety of compassionate outreach activities.
