The goal of the Youth Ministry Team is to encourage, teach and be an example to
the young people of CMT and Lafayette. United we will stand and together with the Lord, we will reach this city. | ||
Sunday School is the result of Jesus telling us to "Go ye therefore, and teach..." (Matthew 28:19). It is a direct and simple outreach to our community. Sunday School is an integral part of the church ministries by providing a place to impart spiritual knowledge and to give an opportunity to worship as a means of expression. Sunday School gives us the chance to actively participate in learning the Word of God, and how it applies to our lives. The goal is to effect changes in the understandings, attitudes, and behaviors as Christian character and faith are being built. The final test of all teaching is in the changed life of the learner. The Sunday School and Bus Ministry continually reaches out to introduce others to Bible truths. | ||
The Bus Ministry's mission is to fulfill the Lord's commandment in Luke 14:23, "And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled". Our motto is, "Every Child Matters!". We strive to make each and every child feel they are the sole reason we are here. With exciting and new promotions as well as an entertaining clown ministry, we continually endeavor to reach out to our community and see souls saved. This ministry greatly assists the Sunday School department by providing transportation. Two buses and two vans are currently in operation with routes throughout Lafayette, Clarks Hill, and Attica. |

A group for all singles who are 18 or older to regularly get together for meetings, lunches, trips, special events, etc. This is quite a diverse group since the reasons for being single are quite different. Either you've chosen to be single, are divorced, or have gone through the loss of a spouse. We also have a lot of married couples who just like getting together with this group. Check the church calendar for our next meeting. | ||

"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations..." is the great commision given to the follower's of Christ. For some this is the call to work in the homeland, for others, this takes them far from home into foreign lands. Christ Memorial Temple has supported the United Pentecostal Church International's missionary works since the late 1960’s. Members become "Partners in Missions" or PIM's by pledging financial and prayer support for a specific home or foreign missionary. The first Sunday of each month is designated "Missionary Sunday" when each missionary's' name and area of the world is acknowledged. Every four years missionaries return to the United States to visit churches across the country. They enrich us with reports of baptisms in the name of Jesus, of outpourings of the Holy Ghost, and of great revivals occurring around the world. We may not physically be able to "Go", but we are blessed to be a supportive partner. | ||
