Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day Weekend, CFC!
 
With it being Memorial Day weekend, we felt it appropriate to spotlight our Veteran Ministry. This month marks the third anniversary of CFC’s Veteran Ministry. It is an umbrella ministry that serves not only Veterans (those who have served in the military), but also service members (those currently serving on active duty and those in the National Guard and Reserves) and their loved ones. 
 
The CFC Veteran Ministry’s mission is to glorify God by making disciples of ministry participants from both CFC and our local community. The CFC Veteran Ministry does this by presenting opportunities to strengthen an individual’s relationship with God, as well as opportunities to encourage healing from the impacts of military service. 
 
How does the CFC Veteran Ministry embody its mission? The ministry’s volunteers, both military and nonmilitary, participate in various Christ-centered activities that include:

  • Monthly CFC Veteran Ministry fellowship and coffee events held between church services
  • Small group Bible study for veterans, service members, and their adult loved ones
  • Monthly “Connections Breakfast” fellowship events at a local restaurant
  • REBOOT courses that help people overcome trauma through their faith-based, peer-led classes
  • Vanderburgh County Veteran’s Treatment Court and Mentor Program (Vet Court)
  • RightNow Media resources for military personnel and their families available at: https://courses.onlinecfc.com/veterans-resources
  • Various team-based activities to support Christ-centered outreach that encourage fellowship and trusting relationships
  • Veteran appreciation events, such as a periodic dinner for CFC Veterans and support to Veterans on the biannual Honor Flight of Southern Indiana trips
  • Outreach and mentorship to service members and their loved ones when the service member is deployed
  • Collaborations and partnerships with national and community military groups and other CFC ministries to accomplish the CFC Veteran Ministry mission 

In summary, the overarching vision of the CFC Veteran Ministry is to be a key force for Christian discipleship focused on the local tri-state area military community.
 
We are so thankful for our Veteran Ministry and also for you! We look forward to being with you Sunday!
