Other FIRST ASSEMBLY MINISTRIES satellites have a location where people come to church. FIRST ASSEMBLY CARE FACILITIES brings church to them. Our campus is found in every facility in which we minister all over Lee County. That is why we’re called the “MOBILE CAMPUS.”
Our pastors and volunteers are aware of the special needs of those who attend our services. They become part of us. Consequently, when they are missing from our meetings, we seek them out to visit and pray for them. We function as their church and as ministers of the Lord to them.
As their ministers, when residents have emotional, spiritual and personal needs, we are available to listen to them, pray with them, and offer encouragement and support. We also have professional volunteers available who may be able to assist them with other important issues.
Each team is made up of two to four people who have volunteered because they have a heart of compassion and a desire to serve the Lord. One person will be appointed as the “Lay Pastor” for the facility. Another may lead in worship. All the team members will reach out to the residents individually with the love of Christ. Several volunteer teams go out every day and minister to people who need to know someone still cares about them. New teams and resources are being developed and new venues being added every week.
Prayer is a crucial ministry of any church. We ask all who visit this website to add us to your daily prayers, requesting that God will guide us and pour out His redeeming love through us.
Some people who once chose to be a part of a church community and enjoy the blessings of worshipping and fellowshipping with the Body of Christ are no longer able to attend. Our desire is to help them regain that piece of their life by bringing church to where they are, making it possible for them to be members of a loving community and giving them the opportunity to be as much part of it as they are able. Membership is available to anyone who senses the need to be a part of a church again and is willing to adhere to the guidelines set forth in the constitution and by-laws of FIRST ASSEMBLY MINISTRIES. However, residents do not have to become members in order to enjoy our weekly services. We offer church atmosphere and fellowship for all people, no matter what their religious "label" has been.
We bring a basic weekly church service with:
Song service
Prayer
Ministry in the Word
Communion
Membership provides access to the services of A/G Financial and to church business meetings.
We offer busing to major events held at FIRST ASSEMBLY CENTRAL, such as the Keyboard Festival, Ralph Carmichael concerts, and others. Participation in other outside events through the Top Notch senior life ministry at FIRST ASSEMBLY CENTRAL is encouraged, as is involvement in FIRST ASSEMBLY’s worldwide missions efforts.
Pastoral care and counsel is available, extending to family members and employees, on an ongoing basis as needed or in the event of illness or death.
Onsite special events will be scheduled, such as hymn sings and special guest concerts with artists such as Larry Ford.
Free literature will be distributed, such as Bibles, the Pentecostal Evangel, weekly bulletins, large print hymnals, First Priority, and devotional books.
Children’s/grandparents’ programs in association with our children’s ministry are available.
We offer extended ministry to employees of the facilities in which we serve.
