Ministries
In addition to providing the opportunity for worship and fellowship in community together, EPC staff and volunteers are working hard to minister to the needs of individuals and families across all age groups. Below are brief descriptions of some of the ways we're working to help people meet and walk with Jesus in every stage of life and spiritual growth.
Men
The Journeymen group exists to engage the men of the church in life-changing fellowship with Christ, learning from him, and carrying out his purposes in our church, in our homes and in the world. The group meets weekly on Saturday mornings at 7 a.m. in the church office to pray and study God's Word, and talk about how it affects our lives. Following those meetings, the guys go out for breakfast, when possible, to continue in fellowship.
Once a month, the Journeymen also cook and host a breakfast for the rest of the men of the church. This larger group is called the Elizabeth Presbyterian Men (EPM). This monthly meeting is for fellowship, as well, but it is also a business meeting to discuss the needs of the church and to assign work groups to accomplish whatever tasks are necessary. This is a self-funded group which
has brought about many improvements to our buildings and grounds. For more information or to join either group, please contact John Bussie at john.bussie@outlook.com.
Women
All women of the church are warmly invited to join the Elizabeth Presbyterian Women (EPW). The group offers fun and fellowship with a purpose. EPW supports missions such as Bethany Christian Services and spearheads the impactful Christmas Shoebox program. It offers assistance during memorial services and special celebrations by providing food upon request. The group supports a variety of church events, and engages in fundraising. A fundraising highlight is the annual bake sale, a beloved tradition that brings our community together. Meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month at 1:00 PM in the church. Your involvement can make a real difference in our community—come be a part of something special.
Seniors
Senior Game Day happens at the church every third Thursday from 11 a.m. till 2 p.m. Seniors from anywhere in the community are invited to come play scrabble, rummicube, dominoes and other games, and enjoy home-cooked lunch together. It's all free. It's all fun. And it's all good.
And on the last Tuesday of the month from 1 till 3 p.m. seniors (and younger folks) who like to knit are invited to gather with us for our Prayer Shawl Ministry. We knit shawls for people who are hurting. We pray for them. And we chat. What an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon.

Families
At EPC we're always looking for ways to pull families together for fellowship and fun.
The annual Chariots of Fire Car Show, the June Pie and Ice Cream Social and Faith Day at the Rockies are three great examples.
But we also do our best to cater to the spiritual needs of the family – not just by providing Christian Education for the various age groups separately, but by creating ways to bring the family together around the Bible.

Alcoholics Anonymous
EPC opens its doors each week for regular AA meetings to help people affected by alcohol abuse. AA Book Meetings are held each Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. These meetings are only for alcoholics who want to stop drinking and live normal, healthy lives. AA Open Meetings are on Fridays at 7:00 p.m. These are general meetings for anyone struggling with alcohol abuse, as well as friends and family, and anyone wishing to find out more about AA. The meetings are held downstairs.
