What We Do
Sunday School
To give each member an opportunity to grow in God’s word in a smaller setting and become more involved and united as they study and discuss God’s word. We have a Sunday School option for each age group.
We have four adult classes from which to choose:
Armor Bearers: Teacher Sherrie Beaman; This is an in depth study of the word, including original Hebrew word meanings, emphasis on the tie between Old and New Testaments, and a fresh word every Sunday. Meets in the annex, Sunday @ 9:35 AM.
Discussion Class: Teacher Lee Gigout; You will leave this class exhorted and encouraged to continue in your faith. Part preaching, part teaching, Bro. Lee delivers a timely word for you. Meets in the fellowship hall, Sunday @ 9:30 AM.
Insight & Inspiration: Teacher Marty Robinson; This is a systematic coverage of the books of the Bible. Bro. Marty will cover Israeli history, word meanings, and cultural norms as he teaches the books of the Bible line by line. Meets in first room to the right off the foyer, Sunday 9:30 AM.
Young Adult: Teacher Cissie Gigout; No subject is to be avoided in this vibrant and fun discussion class. Students are encouraged and challenged as they lead and listen to discussions of relevant issues for their lives. Meets in the annex, Sunday at 6:00 PM.
Classes for kids too!
Our teachers are passionate about Jesus and love kids. There is a class for every age, nursery through high school. The classes are small and this is a great place to meet new friends and find “your place” at Old River Assembly!
Pantry Ministry
Deuteronomy 15:11 “For the poor shall never cease out of the land; therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thy hand wide unto thy brother, to the poor, and to thy needy, in the land.”
Pantry Ministry is every Thursday. Pam McCall leads our pantry ministry, and has a team working with her that is approved by the Pastor and the board. Adults wishing to be involved in the pantry ministry, please see Pam to start the approval process. Food is distributed to ministries in our church to support events, to families in our church, and to the community. Dates and times are subject to change when necessary.
World and U.S. Missions
Missions is the heart of God. What is good news if we keep it to ourselves? Old River Assembly has a heart for missions. We currently support 41 missionaries on a monthly basis. They serve around the world and in the US. That’s not our glory – but HIS! We also love our annual missions banquet and a missions trip as often as the Lord allows!
Worship Team
God-honoring worship is something we strive for. Our music style is a mix of contemporary and traditional. We love a foot stomping southern gospel tune followed by the latest Hillsong worship set. We try to please the whole congregation, but ultimately it’s God’s pleasure we are seeking.
Marriage Ministries
Marriages can be difficult to maintain. Misunderstanding, confusion, resentment, and anger can flare up in any marriage. Their role in listening, understanding, helping, and encouraging struggling couples has, by God’s grace, saved marriages, and repaired relationships. Couples have found fresh hope and new joy in a warm and fulfilling relationship with their spouse. If you need help, please contact Pastor. Depending on the circumstances, we may help refer you to a dedicated Marriage Counselor.
