Membership Arm Ministries

Care Connection Ministry

The Care Connection Ministry is dedicated to greeting and welcoming new members into the church with love, enthusiasm, knowledge, and excellence. Our mission is to ensure that every new member feels connected and supported as they become an active part of the church community. Guided by Ephesians 4:12, “To prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up,” we aim to help all members find their place in ministry. The Member Coordinator plays a key role by working closely with new members, encouraging them to attend all RISE Classes, connecting them with Ministry Leaders, and maintaining accurate records in our church database.

Word Rapid Response Team

The Word Rapid Response Team (WRRT) exists to provide rapid, effective, and safe care to members of our congregation while promoting overall health and wellness. Our mission is to prevent medical emergencies within the church and to equip members with the knowledge and tools they need to lead healthier lives. Guided by Luke 10:34—“He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him”—we are committed to caring for others with compassion and urgency. The team is responsible for providing immediate medical support during services or events and stabilizing any medical crises that may arise. In addition, WRRT organizes the church’s annual Health Fair, offering education on key health topics such as diabetes, hypertension, and other issues relevant to the church community.

Health & Wellness Ministry

The Health and Wellness Ministry is focused on promoting physical activity and healthy living among the members of THE WORD. Our vision is to encourage movement and activity throughout the congregation, with a mission to inspire entire families to get active for at least 30 minutes each day. Rooted in 3 John 1:2—“Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well”—we believe that wellness is a key part of a balanced and faithful life. This ministry coordinates monthly meetings that include workout sessions and health education, and also leads community events that promote physical well-being.

Member Care Ministry

The Member Care Ministry exists to show love through action, serving as a vital link between the church and its families. Our vision is to express Christ’s love in tangible ways, offering support, encouragement, and care to those in need. The mission of this ministry is to be the connection point that ensures every member feels seen, supported, and valued within the church community. Guided by John 13:34-35—“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another”—we are committed to being a reflection of God’s love in all that we do. The Member Care Ministry includes the Funeral Leader, Wedding Coordinator, Graduation Coordinator, and Benevolence Coordinator—each playing a key role in walking alongside families during meaningful life moments and times of need.

Magnification Arm Ministries

Music Ministry

The Music Ministry exists to magnify the glory of God through powerful and inspirational praise and worship. Comprised of the Choir and Praise Team, this ministry creates a worship experience that actively engages the congregation, encourages spiritual growth, and draws others into a deeper relationship with God. Our vision is to lead worship in a way that uplifts hearts, unites the church in praise, and helps attract and retain new members through the atmosphere we help cultivate. Guided by Psalm 95:1—“Oh come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation”—the Music Ministry is dedicated to lifting up the name of the Lord with excellence, passion, and joy.

Creative Arts Ministry

The Creative Arts Ministry exemplifies the power of worship through dramatic, nonverbal expressions of praise. Including the Women of Righteous Dance and Mime teams, this ministry brings to life the emotional depth of worship—such as pain, sorrow, joy, and gratitude—through movement and physical expression. Our vision is to reflect the multi-dimensional nature of praising God, complementing the voice-based Music Ministry with visual and expressive storytelling that moves the heart and spirit. Guided by Psalm 149:3—“Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with timbrel and harp”—the Creative Arts Ministry offers a powerful, wordless testimony of God’s presence and power.

Audio/Video Ministry

The Audio/Video Ministry plays a vital role in enhancing the worship experience at THE WORD by delivering clear, high-quality sound and impactful visual presentations. Through the seamless integration of voice, music, text, images, and video, this ministry helps create an atmosphere that keeps the congregation engaged and supports deeper understanding and retention of the message. Our vision is to support the delivery of God’s Word with excellence, using technology as a tool to elevate every aspect of the worship experience. Guided by Hebrews 4:12—“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit…”—the Audio/Video Ministry ensures that every message is heard clearly and seen effectively, allowing the Word to reach hearts both inside the sanctuary and beyond.

Sunday/Wednesday Service

The Sunday/Wednesday Service Ministry is responsible for delivering a well-coordinated worship experience that brings together song, prayer, and the spoken Word to exalt God and inspire the congregation. Each service is thoughtfully designed to reflect a unified theme that deepens spiritual understanding while preparing members to carry out THE WORD’s mission of bringing souls to Christ. Our vision is to create services that are both spirit-led and time-conscious, allowing space for God to move while maintaining order and flow. Guided by 1 Corinthians 14:40—“But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way”—this ministry ensures that every element of worship works together to glorify God and edify His people.

Ministry Arm

First Impressions Ministry

The First Impressions Ministry, also known as the Ushers Ministry, plays a vital role in creating a welcoming and orderly worship environment at WOGCF. Ushers are responsible for preparing the sanctuary before each service, including placing reserved seating cards, organizing chairs, and distributing tithing and welcome cards. During service, they maintain reverence by managing movement in and out of the sanctuary during key moments such as prayer, scripture reading, and the welcome. Ushers also assist parishioners in finding seating, providing items like tissues or offering envelopes as needed, and ensuring anyone needing special assistance is cared for. After service, they collect communion cups, offering envelopes, and any other materials left behind, helping to maintain the cleanliness and order of the sanctuary. This ministry is often the first interaction visitors have with the church, making their role essential to the overall worship experience.
