Small
Groups —This is the heart of Pathways
Community Church. We consider ourselves a church of small
groups, and we encourage every regular attendee to participate
in a small group.
Discovery
Classes —We present a series of four
Discovery Classes to help you get connected to others, the
church and to God. These classes - - 101, 201, 301, and 401
- - will be offered several times each year.
Pathfinders —This
is our Sunday morning Children’s Ministry. It is designed
specifically for all kids from nursery through 6th grade.
Pathfinders lays a foundation that helps kids learn how to walk
on the path with Jesus.
AWANA — We
also provide this mid-week ministry for children called Awana.
This Tuesday evening program includes lots of fun activities,
but also focuses on important stories from the Bible, and scripture
memorization.
Junior High Ministry — Our
Junior High ministry is an exciting place for kids to be, in
the midst of some of the most difficult years kids face as they
are growing up. This is a safe place with great friends and staff!
Real2Real
High School Ministry — High
school is a time where kids really need to learn to live out
what it means to be real in the real world. That is the reason
for the name Real2Real. This has proven
to be an important ministry in develop young adults who will
walk with Jesus for the rest of their lives.
Young
Adults - Real... Relevant...Relational... Revolutionary — It
is our priority to equip, encourage and empower this generation
to LIVE as Christ followers, LOVE like Christ and LEAD others
into vibrant relationship with God. Through creative worship
(Sunday evenings at 6:30 p.m.), after service fellowship
events ( 8:00 p.m. Sunday evenings), small group bible studies
and monthly outreach/fun events these young adults are growing
in Christ, developing friendships and making a difference.
Men — We
have an active Men’s Ministry with a variety of events
and friendship groups designed for fun and for developing relationships.
We also have several guys only small groups and one-on-one discipleship
opportunities to help men grow closer to Jesus.
Women — The women
at Pathways know how to have fun, with fellowship events scheduled
throughout the year. They also know how to help each other grow
deeper in the Lord with a large number of small groups, and two
study groups for women who really want to do some in-depth Bible
study.
Prayer — The Pathways Prayer
Team prays weekly for the prayer requests people list on their
connection cards during our worship services. Prayer counselors
are available after each of our services for anyone wishing
to have someone pray with them. Watch the announcements in
the bulletin for details about upcoming prayer events. You
can also submit prayer requests that the Prayer Team will be
praying for.
Celebrate Recovery — We
all have hurts, habits and hang-ups that we must deal with as
we try to live our lives with Christ. Celebrate Recovery is a safe
place that provides encouragement and accountability to help
you work successfully through the sanctification process.
Missions — Pathways
supports world missions through regular giving through the Southern
Baptist Conference. In addition we support several other individuals
and organizations that are doing outreach. We also focus on a
special missions project each month, to give members of the congregation
the opportunity to serve or to give in very practical ways. Watch
for bulletin for regular updates on these missions projects.
AMOR — One
very practical way we serve in missions is through a monthly
Amor trip, where people from Pathways build houses for disadvantaged
people in Mexico. There is also a youth Amor trip in the spring,
and a college Amor trip in the summer.
Counseling — We
believe that many people can benefit from solid, Biblically-based,
Christian counseling. Therefore we provide Christian counseling
in our office at a very affordable rate. To schedule an appointment
for counseling, please contact Roger Hodge directly at 760-500-1781
and he would be happy to arrange a time to meet with you.
Opportunities to Serve — You
can serve others in lots and lots of different ways at Pathways.
Each of the ministries listed here has a need for many volunteers
in order to be effective. We have a list of the “Ways You
Can Serve” in every ministry in the church, right here
on the website. Click here for that
list. Take

like you to plug in and serve.
