Prison Ministry Team:

Our Prison Ministry takes place at the local women’s prison (minimum security). All volunteers must attend a mandatory orientation at the prison. We serve the prison in a variety of ways: Sunday evening worship services, book groups, Read Me a Story program, Holiday parties, and a retreat for incarcerated mothers and their teens.

Community Life Team

Community life represents the way we care for one another, build community, and make sure people aren’t getting lost in the bigness of church. This is holy work! It’s God’s work. It allows us to help those we don’t know and those who aren’t in our constant social arenas or immediate circle of care. CONNECT leaders will periodically contact all LOS community members throughout the year to express care, ask how we can meet specific needs, and let people know about involvement opportunities. Additionally, folks may choose to join Well groups (think small, consistent groups of folks who develop deeper relationships) or Infinity groups (by interest: book studies, musical gatherings, crafting, hiking, etc.) Been around and ready to join the community by joining a CONNECT leader’s group? Let us know by emailing:office@landoftheskychurch.org. Click here to learn more about Community Life at Land of the Sky.

Hospitality Team:

Our hospitality team helps to make sure that our community has what it needs to offer an extravagant welcome to all.  The team assists with the mug ministry, newcomers desserts, fellowship time, potlucks, and special events.  Service on this team is by expressed desire and personal invitation.  If you have the gift of hospitality, let us know.  If we see you have the gift of hospitality, don’t be surprised if we ask you if you would like to serve.
