When checking out a new church one of the questions people ask is “Do you have a place for me? A place to serve and make a difference?” We say “We’re glad you asked because we sure do!”
Each of our ministries gives you the opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life. We invite you to look these over, check out the ones that most interest you, give one a try.
Vernon Food Pantry
This is an interdenominational ministry focused on helping to feed and clothe those in need. Many local churches and businesses come together to support this vital ministry. Lamar county is one of Alabama’s most underprivileged counties, so the need for this ministry is great. The Vernon Food Pantry serves some 250 – 300 families each month.
Women's Friendship Circle
Our women’s group gathers once a month to make “port pillows.” These pillows are small and specially designed to help those receiving chemotherapy through a port in the chest. The pillows help cushion the tubing for patients. To date, the Women’s Circle has donated over 3,000 pillows to local cancer treatment centers. No sewing skills required, just come and help!
The Busy Bee Society
Our group began as a way to connect people. (Yarn crafters tend to find their own, spotting each other in the aisle of Hobby Lobby or Michael's.) As we gathered and swapped stories, it became clear that cancer had impacted our lives one way or another. We decided to make chemo caps to help ease the irritation of radiation treatments, provide warmth in the winter, and offer a pop of color and happy design for those currently undergoing chemotherapy. To date, we have delivered over 200 caps.

Celebrate Recovery
Life is filled with challenges. Sometimes these challenges lead us into spiritually and physically unhealthy behaviors. This ministry focuses on helping people effectively deal with a wide variety of issues from depression, anxiety, divorce, death of loved one, and alcohol and/or substance abuse. We meet every Monday evening from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm in the Fellowship Hall, entrance is on the side door next to our parking lot.
Monthly Church Breakfast
If you like fellowship, cooking, or serving others then this is a good place for you. Our monthly church breakfast is well attended. We need help cooking, serving, cleaning up, and eating of course!
