ADULT SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION
Director Dr. Pam Edwards: pedwards@cvcc.net

Ministries to adults at Cedar Valley Community Church are designed to help you navigate life. We know that you are pulled in countless directions -- taking care of loved ones, work schedules, making the money fit the month, and finding time for what really matters -- which is always difficult.

We know that life is hard, sometimes harder than we could have ever imagined. We can't take away the pain, but we can help you connect with others and explore what it means to be a follower of Jesus. We'll dive into His word, the Bible, and His plan for living daily life.

All of our ministries are designed to allow you to explore Christianity safely with others. We won't give you cookie-cutter answers to hard questions. But we will help you discover the way, truth and life of Jesus along with others.

More than anything else we want you to know that you belong here. Take your time. Get acquainted and check out a ministry or two. We’ll do our very best to help you find a space and place that fits you just right.

What's New at CVCC

Facilitator, Dr. Pamela Edwards.  Meeting Weekly.
Eight cvCc adults are nearly half way through a year of intense leadership and spiritual formation training.  Those attending have increased their bible reading, are diving deep into their own life experiences, are practicing new spiritual disciplines, and are paying attention to 1) what God has been up to in their lives; 2) who God is; and 3) what God desires to do through them for the Kingdom.  Ask about their experience!! Talk to Lance and Corah Webber, Denise Hare, Rick Shirley, Dan Walker, Melissa Braun, Kathleen Repenning and Erin Martin.  New groups beginning Fall, 2008.

Small Groups - click here for more information

Small groups meet during the week primarily in homes. Different ages, different interests, different times. New groups form whenever there is interest. Some groups have been meeting for years. Some form for special needs and service projects to others. Small groups help you connect in friendship and mutual interests.

Looking for a small group? Group Finder is a tool to help you locate a small group based on answering a few questions about the type of group, location, and time you would like to meet.

We want to help you get connected.

 

Immersion Groups

During the week we have many different kinds of groups meeting that we call "Immersion groups." These groups are similar to small groups, but their focus is targeted toward in-depth discussion on the same focused scripture that our lead Pastor, Eric Sloter, is teaching on Sunday morning. We believe that by "immersing" ourselves in scripture we can be changed by the power of the Holy Spirit's work in our lives through his instruction manual, the Bible.

 

Prayer Ministry

9AM Fridays at CVCC.
The prayer ministry seeks to meet the prayer needs of individuals and faithfully leads our church as a whole in our desire to be spiritually focused in all that we do.
