Why Does Callahan First do Missions the Way We Do?

Are you new to CFBC and wonder what Global Impact Celebration is about? Why do we have a Global Executive Team and what do the Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and Ends-of-the-Earth teams do?

Would you like to participate more in the missions ministry of CFBC or wonder why we have a missions ministry?

In 2002, Callahan First partnered with Global Focus to form a strategy to do it’s part in taking the Gospel to the world. On October 19th we will meet with them again to look at where we are in that journey and how we need to refine our strategy to continue to align our mission with the heart of God. Join us from 9am - 2pm in the Gym to see how you may become a part of that strategy. This half-day learning experience will help you get started. Lunch will be provided, and we will have materials for all those participating. Please sign up in the foyer following morning services or call the office at 904.879.2172 to reserve your spot.

Grandparents Raising GrandchildrenWednesdays through October 23th (6 Weeks)6:45 PM - 8:00 PMChapel 102-104

Today, more and more grandparents find themselves once again in the parenting role. This support group is an opportunity to meet with others in the same role and share experiences, receive encouragement, prayer, information and possible solutions to problems you are encountering. Led by Bill and Wanda Turner.

Children’s DiscipleshipWednesdays at 6:45 pm

• Challengers (Grades 1 -2)• Conquerors (Grades 3-4)• Champions (5th Grade) (K4-Kindergarten)

Word of Life’s Children’s Ministry Program is built on a powerful goal: to lay a solid foundation of biblical principles at a young age in the lives of children. We want to teach them from the very start the important fundamentals of spiritual growth. The Olympian ministry is built on an important theme in Scripture; the Olympic athlete. Paul uses this illustration often saying that he wanted to “finish the race.” Gopher Buddies uses age appropriate materials to teach those principals to early learners ages 4-6.

Mission OpportunityOne Friday a month, we have the opportunity to volunteer at City Rescue Mission. Volunteers will be serving dinner and interacting with the clients. Volunteers are asked to arrive by 3:30 PM and usually leave by 6:00 PM. Upcoming dates are November 1 and December 6. If you are interested in participating, please call or text Karen Westbrook at 904.304.9153.

Nehemiah - Daytime Women’s StudyWednesdays through October 30th (7 Weeks)1:30 PM Chapel 101-103

Nehemiah’s heart was so broken for those in need that he left the comfort of his Persian palace to help them. This study challenges women to let God break their hearts for a hurting, lost world and move them in compassion to lead people to Jesus.Led by Wanda Rogers.
