A creative arts ministry that seeks to glorify and honor God through the gifts, talents, and passion He has given us. We seek and encourage to build mentoring relationships between youth and elders.

Good News Clubs
Leaders: Lois Clardy & Pam Datlof
Good News Club is an outreach program from CEF (Child Evangelism Fellowship). Good News Clubs are Christian after-school clubs for elementary age children. They can attend after school and have snacks, play games, sing songs, and hear lessons about Jesus. This ministry is held on public school campuses where they can reach children that may have never heard about Jesus or the Bible. Our Church is very happy to say that we sponsor two clubs: Ocean Bay Elementary and Forestbrook Elementary. This means that once every week during school the school year we have opportunities to reach children in two public elementary schools. We begin this ministry each year in the Fall at the beginning of school and continue throughout the school year. There have been many children who have given their lives to Christ through this effective outreach program. For more information go to cefgpd.org.
Myrtle Beach Manor Nursing Home Ministry
Leaders: Dave & Jan Burkart
The nursing home ministry meets the last Tuesday of each month at 6:30pm at Myrtle Beach Manor. Helpers bring residents to the services, where we sing and bring a devotion. It's always a lot of fun to bring smiles to these special folks' faces.
Parents' Nite Out
Leader: Stacey Burch
This ministry meets on Wednesday nights during the summer months (and monthly during gate school year), providing a safe and fun time of learning and fun for children in K5 - 5th grade.
Tract Minstry
Leader: Dave Burkart
Mr. Dave has a burden to see souls saved, and feels a salvation tract plants seeds and can reach people that would never come to church otherwise. They are great to enclose in bills or to leave in public places. They also go door-to-door delivering tracts to people's homes.
