Clown Ministry
Sharing the joy of Jesus through laughter. We entertain children through balloons and clowning at the Block Party, Air Force base, or schools. We are hoping to start visiting nursing homes and hospitals. We have recently started telling Bible stories with balloons for awards and hope to expand it to VBS if possible. We are excited about where this ministry will go. Contact Jamie Segrist.


Children’s Church
The Children’s Church ministry is based on Biblical stories and values with the purpose of teaching our children about God’s love for them. We also emphasize the need for all of us, even as children, to be mission minded in order to reach others for Jesus. Our curriculum consists of literature which contains Bible stories and activities to teach scripture to the children. Our goal is to encourage the children to learn God’s Word and apply it to their lives as they grow in body and spirit.


Men’s Ministry
The men’s ministry of Green Valley Baptist Church has one primary function: To Connect Men.
First and foremost is to connect Men to their Maker, the Lord Jesus Christ. Men must be introduced to the Lord in order to begin an ongoing, growing, personal relationship to Him. This is accomplished through fellowships, testimonials, men’s events, and through one-on-one purposeful discussions concerning right and wrong, good and evil, and Heaven and Hell.

Then, as men accept the Lord, we connect Men to their Master, God Almighty. Through small groups and discipleship, men learn the principles of godly living and what it means to ‘pick up your cross and follow Christ.’ This is accomplished through Bible studies, book studies and biblical teaching.

By connecting Men to other godly men, discipleship continues in the areas of honesty, integrity, and personal accountability. Men become accountable to other men in small group settings. The greatest earthly expression of a man’s relationship to God is his relationship with his family. We want to connect men to their families where they can love their wives as Christ love the church and love their children with the same heart as Jesus.

Evangelism
The Evangelism Ministry has several different activities you can join in to share God’s love with others. First, we have been able to take a week long mission trip each year. We have gone to places like New Orleans, Mexico, Toronto, Toledo and Colorado. Each trip is different and can involve various activities from construction work to street evangelism.

You can also participate with those who do street evangelism or with those who visit neighborhoods to offer to pray with people, share God’s love, invite them to church. We also do Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) where we do a small service for others or give them a free token – showing God’s love to them.

Throughout the year, you can participate in these activities or take the opportunity to talk to or share with others when the church does activities like the Living Cross, the Block Party or Trails West.
