Bookstore

 A great opportunity exists for someone to serve in an area that is extremely beneficial to the church. Our bookstore is just getting started, and we are looking for a church member who would enjoy a “store” like ministry. Listening to the needs of others, ordering materials, accessing internet materials, talking to book distributors, pricing materials, and following the Pastors direction are the skills needed for this ministry. If this sounds good to you, pray about it and then see Pastor. We are ready to get started! Top

Bus Ministry

Come with me to Sunday School on the church bus! Beacon Baptist Church strives to serve all members of our community in providing a complimentary ride to church. Pastor Jason and Betsy Springer have over 15 years combined experience in serving in the bus ministry. Mrs. Springer's experience includes safe driving awards from the Campus Bus Service at Kent State University. Why not call the church and schedule a pick up today!

We would love to include you in this area of ministry. If the Lord leads you to aid in our bussing ministry, pray about it and see Pastor Springer.

Music and Choir

Can you sing like a canary, play an instrument, or make a joyful noise? There is always room for you to serve in this extremely important ministry! We do not boast professional singers at the Beacon Baptist Church; we simply lift our voices in praise and worship to our worthy God. Exalting the Lord Jesus Christ is our hope as our choir prepares the hearts of the congregation for the preaching of God’s word. Top

Mrs. Springer directs the choir, and special music is under the direction of Chris Merritt. If this is an area of service that you would be interested in, pray about it and then please see one of them. The choir ministry is a weekly commitment including practice every Sunday at 5:15p.m. Special music is upon approval by Brother Merritt and will need to comply with the standards set by the Pastor. We look forward to serving with you! Top

Clean and Tidy

Under the direction of Chris Merritt, this ministry is a commitment based upon the activities of the church. There are different areas to serve such as weekly cleaning, post special meeting cleaning, spring cleaning, straightening of materials in pews and various areas of the church, window cleaning, trash removal, and grounds trash. If you enjoy preparing God’s house to be the best that it can be for every service, then please pray about serving the Lord in this “forgotten” ministry! Top

Maintenance and Safety

All places of assembly need some sort of maintenance and safety preparation.  Beacon Baptist Church is no exception. We actively maintain our facilities with the utmost care. Proper maintenance provides a safe place of worship for all who attend.

 

Beacon Baptist Church also has an Emergency Action Plan, developed to address many foreseeable conditions in which adversity may occur. It is our hope that none of these procedures will be necessary. They are, however, in place if an unlikely event should present itself.

   Some topics include:

  • Emergency Telephone Numbers

  • Fire Safety

  • Insurance Information

  • Medical Emergency

  • Preventing Child Abuse*

  • Vehicle Accident Reporting Procedure

 

*For the safety of our youth, all staff members and youth workers agree to a background check.

If you are interested in this ministry and have prayed about it, see brother Jerry Edwards for more information.

Building and Grounds Presentation

We want to put our best foot forward at Beacon Baptist Church and this ministry helps us to accomplish that. In the “Building Presentation” we are looking for ladies who are work hard, follow direction, have time to help several hours at a time, and love to decorate, decorate, decorate! We want the church absolutely stunning throughout the year, and you can help to make this happen. If this sounds like an area you would like to serve, pray about it and see sister Cathy.

The “Grounds Presentation” ministry has nothing to do with lawn care. It is all about landscaping, lighting, and turning our property into a picturesque place of worship. This will be an ongoing ministry with limitless possibilities. We are looking for men who are hard working, willing to follow direction and have time to help several hours at a time. If this is an area of service that interests you, pray about it and then talk to Brother Jerry. Top

Banquets and Fellowships

Betsy Springer directs this fast paced and fun ministry. From decorating to serving food these ladies do it all! There are many opportunities on our calendar to setup, serve, and clean up for a fellowship. If you enjoy the “hustle and bustle” of serving others then consider your place in this ministry. Ladies desiring to serve should be patient and courteous, work well under a little pressure, and be willing to follow instructions. Sounds like your kind of ministry? Pray, then talk to sister Betsy. We look forward to your service! Top

Greeters

Our greeters make a first impression on all who come to Beacon Baptist Church. People in this important ministry welcome people as they come to church, pass out bulletins and visitor packs, direct people where classes are being held, and make everyone feel right at home! This ministry requires smiling people who are friendly, willing to go out of their way for others, and committed to attending all the services at Beacon. People will look for “their” friendly greeter each time they come, so everyone needs to be in their place every week. If you are ready to greet then please pray, and see Pastor Heishman. Top

Junior Church

Watch out!!! Every Sunday Morning, our Junior Church is on the GO! There is never a dull moment. Come on kids, lets see if you if you have the energy to keep up with these ladies. Bible time  and games are used together to teach children Bible truths that will leave a lasting, life changing impression upon their hearts.

Energy is what is what you need if you are thinking about this ministry. Love, patience, kindness, and understanding are key traits to help these wonderful children. If you are ready to go, go, go then this is where you should serve! Contact Pastor Springer if you are interested in this ministry, but first take it to the Lord in prayer. Top

Master Club

Each Wednesday evening, the children gather for an exciting and challenging time of games and activities, along with lessons and projects, all centered on the word of God. 

Pastor Springer, Betsy Springer and Jean Merrit lead the children in the Master's Club curriculum, designed to grow the children's knowledge of Scripture. The Purpose of Master Clubs is: To evangelize children, discipling them toward spiritual growth, teaching and training them to serve Jesus Christ, and providing multiple opportunities to do so through the local church. See more here. Top

Nursery

Ladies will enjoy working with bundles of joy in this ministry of care. We have a wonderful facility just for babies and small toddlers. Our nursery workers take great strides to ensure that mom and dad receive their weekly dose of the preaching of God’s word. Betsy Springer directs this ministry and ensures that a clean and safe environment is constantly maintained. We even have closed circuit television and a "modesty wall" so that no mother will miss out on what’s happening in the auditorium.

Ladies considering this ministry should earnestly pray. This is a special commitment for ladies who are members of Beacon Baptist Church. Calm, gentle spirited ladies who have a love for children needing extra attention are just who we are looking for. Please see sister Betsy if you would like to serve in the nursery. Top

Christian Ladies' Fellowship

Calling all ladies who want to make an impact for the cause of Christ! Is it a Bible study? Sometimes. Is it a ladies missionary circle? Sometimes. Is it a community outreach? Sometimes. It is all of these and more! Never underestimate these ladies; they are surrendered to the Spirit to impact the lives of those around them wherever and whenever He leads. This group is for ladies who are especially energetic and have a vision for reaching others for Christ.

Sorry, we haven’t time for gossip! There is far too much to do and so little time. Join Christian Ladies Fellowship, and you’ll soon see why these ladies are making a difference, building others in the faith, and seeking God’s will for their own lives. Meeting every other Tuesday, please see Betsy Springer for details! Top

Christian Men's Fellowship

Leading the way at Beacon Baptist Church, the men of Christian Men's Fellowship take time out of their busy, weekly schedules to build and encourage one another in the faith. In just one hour a week these men pray, study and build one another in the faith. Men, please know that this world is tough enough without trying to “make it” on your own. This was never God’s plan. Come see why others are getting stronger in the faith, building closer families, and actually enjoy facing each new day for the cause of Christ.

Life in this world is more than working for retirement. Certainly God has more for our lives than that! The abundant Christian life is about what we do now, to make an eternal impact on the world around us. The men of Christian Men's Fellowship strive for exactly that. Come join us every other Tuesday; see Pastor Springer for details. Top

 Sunday School

Eat your vegetables! Moms know that you need a balanced diet to keep you physically fit. You need a balanced diet if you are going to be spiritually fit as well. Sunday School should be a regular part of every believers life! What a great opportunity to study the Word of God and be able to receive answers to your spiritual questions.

            All of our classes teach the same lesson, geared to the age level of the class. We feel a uniform lesson helps families to learn together. Any questions a family member might have can be discussed by the entire family. Can the Lord have one more hour of your time this week? Give it a try, join us at 10 a.m. and find out exactly what you have been missing!

            If you are a member who would like to become a teacher, pray about it and then see the Pastor. We now require you to mentor another Christian prior to becoming a teacher. We feel that this is a basic step that will equip you for the task ahead and will display your readiness for a weekly commitment. You must be currently attending all the services of Beacon Baptist Church and involved in weekly visitation. Teaching the Bible is serious and must be done with care; we welcome all who feel as we do. Top

Youth 360° Teens

      Beacon Baptist Church holds a special place for today’s young people. We desire that every teenager gain a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and strive to deepen that relationship on a regular basis. Pastor Jason Springer works with the teens in the energized setting of Youth 360!

We believe that in Proverbs 3:6 God demonstrates His desire to lead in every aspect of your teen’s life. Pastor Springer plans appropriate lessons, sermons and exciting activities all year long. Join us this year for canoeing, hiking, and bowling just to name a few. Check the calendar for upcoming events and activities. We also set apart a week in July to attend Camp Victory in Somerset, Kentucky. See more.

If you are looking to help your teen in their search God’s direction for their life, consider bringing them to Youth 360 for Sunday School, Wednesday night youth class or to any of our other enjoyable activities. Our door is always open to you. Come and give it a try!

Summer Camp

            This camp has it all, teens! Powerful preaching preceded by hilarious skits and traditional Gospel music are enjoyed everyday. They have sports galore; basketball, softball, volleyball and more! That’s not all. Teens also enjoy swimming and games that are out of this world! The food is delicious, and the snack shop carries all the goodies teens love to eat. After a very long, fun-filled day, you will head to sleep in comfortable cabins.

Parents, do not mistake this great growth opportunity for all fun and games. Allowing your teen to go means seeing a more spiritually focused teen return home. They will have made new Christian friends and come to the understanding of God’s great love for them. Jesus is honored in their emphasis, their standards, their facilities and their activities. Your teen will thank you!

Please see Pastor Springer to sign up; you’ll be glad you did.

Ushers

            The usher corps of Beacon Baptist Church has a multitude of tasks to accomplish each and every service. Welcoming visitors, helping children find their class, making sure everyone has a seat, taking up the offering are just a few of them. These men work hard and love serving Christ.

            If you are looking to stay busy for the sake of the Gospel, then pray and see the Pastor about joining the usher corps. Top

Vacation Bible School

            Every summer brings a new four day adventure to our small town. What will happen at this years VBS? You have got to see it to believe it! Kids don’t miss out on this wacky and wild time. The Springer’s are sure to have you singing, laughing, and learning during these fun filled days.

            If you love kids, then get involved! We want you to grow along with the kids. If helping in this outreach ministry sounds like what you would like to do, pray about it and then contact Pastor Springer. Top

Visitation and Soul Winning

            Scheduled every Thursday and Saturday, March through December, Visitation and Soul Winning are some of the most precious times a Christian can invest. The Great Commission is for the Beacon Baptist Church to reach our area, and around the world, with the Gospel. This is the most challenging and difficult work that you will do for the cause of Christ. Most people never overcome their fear of failure, stopping them from reaching their full potential for God.

            Get connected with a soul winning partner who already knows the ins and outs of reaching the lost for Christ. When is the last time you personally led someone to Christ? If it has been more than a year, or perhaps never, know that you can accomplish more through the power of God! Pray about, discuss it with the pastor, and get ready to reach more for Christ in the coming year! Top

Lighting and Sound Production

            Queue the microphone, turn down the lights, and tape the message! There is much to do during the service and more to come. Who will take the ball in this much needed area of service and run with it? If you like electronics, then you’ll love serving in this ministry. Pray about it, then see the Pastor. Top

            Hospitality

            Happy Birthday! How did they know? We make it our business to remember your important dates and send you greetings when it is just the right time. This is a great ministry that expresses the warmth we feel toward every person that calls Beacon Baptist Church their home church. Our very own sister Jean does a great job in this wonderful ministry. If we do not have your birth date or anniversary, please let Jean know, and she will cheerfully add you to the calendar. Top
