COLLEGE HEIGHTS CHRISTIAN CHURCH
QUARTERLY MINISTRY CATALOG AUTUMN 2013
I want to speak to those of you who may be new to College Heights. We hope that your life in this church family leads to a wonderful encounter with the living God. Whether you are new to seeing the face of God in your life, or someone who has known him for years, either way, we are convinced that God is active and will meet you in the people, the prayers, the ministries, the studying, and the life of this body of believers. God is still advancing his Kingdom in our lives and this community. If we can help you get connected we want to do so. You are welcome to call any minister or ministry leader as your beginning place; our website, chcchurch.org, would get you started. Or, on any Sunday morning there is a room called The Connecting Place, just off the main Atrium of our Worship Center, where people are prepared to sit and visit with you; they would love to help get you started. May God meet you today and may He be gracious to you in all that you do today. Randy Gariss Preaching Minister

FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN
We want this to be the best hour of your child’s week and the most helpful hour of yours. To minimize distractions for adults and to maximize your child’s experience, we encourage children (birth – 4th grade) to participate in their age-appropriate classes.
CRY ROOM
We love babies at College Heights and realize sometimes babies need to be with their parents. We provide a Cry Room at the back of the Worship Center behind the sound booth with rocking chairs and a live feed of the worship service.

BUILDING & CAMPUS MAP
BIBLE SCHOOL We have classes for all ages each Sunday morning. Some are as small as 10 while others are over 100. Bible School looks at the whole chapter we are studying while the sermon focuses more on a single application to our lives. Why not take in both each week?

CHILDREN Baby City (0-1 Year Old)
We strive to provide safe, quality care in a faithnurturing environment. We realize it’s a great privilege and responsibility to take care of your children.
Toddler Town (2-3 Years Old)
In Toddler Town, your child will learn biblical virtues through the lessons in the Bible and how those virtues apply to their life. Each virtue is reinforced many times during the morning through lessons and play.
Kids’ Country (Pre-K and K)
Your child will enjoy singing, lessons from God’s Word, hands-on activities, crafts, snacks, and the fenced-in playground. Bible School classes are at 9:15 AM and beginner worship at 11:00 AM.
LaunchPad (Grades 1-4) SUNDAYS
In LaunchPad 1st - 4th graders develop a solid Christian foundation. Our tagline—play hard. sing loud. love God.—describes what we do every week. We play thrilling games, worship with an amazing band, and learn about our AWESOME God by studying the Bible in large and small group settings. • • • •
We want kids to love coming to church. We want kids to connect with friends and small group leaders. We want kids to see God’s big story, and how they fit into it. We want kids to walk away with practical ways to live out what they have studied
On Sundays at 9:15 AM LaunchPad meets in the Chapel for big group fun before heading to Bible School classes. At 11:00 AM we stay in the Chapel for games, more songs, engaging lessons, and small group times. Every week our MISSION helps us remember the key concept from the lesson.
WEDNESDAYS
On Wednesdays at 7:00 PM, LaunchPad LABS takes a hands-on approach to reinforcing the lessons we studied on Sunday. Through games, demonstration, and science experiments kids see tangible examples of biblical principles.
Thursday, October 31 6:30 – 7:45 PM Atrium and Gym Family Fest is a safe alternative to Halloween trickor-treating. Kids wear costumes, play carnival games (4 years old - 6th grade) and get lots of candy! Families enjoy serving and mingling at this annual event.

FAMILY SUNDAY
On the fourth Sunday of every month we have Family Sunday. During the 9:15 AM service, children in 1st - 4th grades attend LaunchPad as usual. After the service, parents pick up their children in 1st - 4th grades to be together at 11:00 AM in the Worship Center.
COMING EVENTS JUNIOR HIGH FALL RETREAT November 1-2 Maranatha Bible Camp HIGH SCHOOL FALL RETREAT November 8-10 Maranatha Bible Camp KIDS CHOIR PERFORMANCE December 8, 6:00 PM
STUDENTS Our student ministry purpose at College Heights is simple: we want each student to be able to answer three questions regarding their identity and purpose: • Who am I? Finding truth in confusing times. • Where do I belong? We were designed for a relationship with God and with each other. • What am I supposed to do? I live to bring God joy and to serve as his heart, hands, and feet.
SUNDAYS
Dive deeper into the Bible! Our classes generally follow the Sunday morning teaching schedule. Our students have great interaction with teachers and a safe place to ask questions. Time: 9:30 – 10:30 AM Room K121 – 5th Grade Students Room K123 – 6th Grade Students Room K124 – 7th-8th Grade Students Gym – High School Students
WEDNESDAYS ENERGY is our preteen program
and it definitely lives up to its name. The gym allows students to play, laugh, and have a great time. While the energy meter may be high, our real focus is the lessons, small group time, and transforming our 4th, 5th, and 6th graders into followers of Jesus. We believe pre-teens who love God and love others will do really big things! Location: Gym Time: 7:00 – 8:15 PM
COLLIDE
is specifically designed for Jr. High students. It is high action and highly relational. The atmosphere is designed for students to build friendships with each other and trained leaders. Fun is planned for and encouraged, but Collide is also deep in worship, biblical teaching, and creative learning. The small group element is essential to explore Scripture, talk real life, and be a compass during the confusing times of adolescence. Location: Atrium (The large area at the Worship Center entrance.) Time: 7:00 – 8:15 PM
QUAKE is a fun environment
where high school students love to hang out with each other and spend time playing, worshiping, and listening to a message of truth from God’s Word. Not every week looks exactly the same, but will almost always be full of energy, music, fun, laughter, inspirational challenges, and people who genuinely care about you and want to get to know you. At QUAKE, students are challenged to make a difference in the world around them and use God’s Word as a springboard to empower them to do just that. QUAKE. “Make a Difference. Create Change.” Location: Chapel (Old sanctuary) Time: 6:30 – 8:30 PM

Ladies, We Need Each Other The time has come, and I am finally a woman. When exactly did that happen? Was it when I got married, or when my mom and I had “the talk”? What was the defining moment when I went from considering myself a girl to a lady? I can pinpoint this “womanhood” moment when I waved my family away after they dropped me off at college. No longer would my mom cook for me or be there to watch our weekly TV shows. I was a woman, time to find a job and make my way in the world. Fast forward to the present: I am a young wife still in school, happy, and in love. So much ahead of me and so much to learn. Up to this point my mom has been the one to guide me in the ways of being a godly woman. After the Women’s Salad Supper, my heart began to fill that empty “mom-

shaped void,” the one that had been in my heart since I was dropped off at college. The Annual Fall Kickoff was the cement that sealed the deal for me. Women need other women. I need other women; my husband can’t teach me how to be a better wife, mother, and woman of God. Not the way an experienced woman could. There are many women at this church that can have a huge impact on young women like me, and likewise lots of young women who need that impact. Ladies, we need each other. We need a shoulder to cry on, someone who has been there to listen, and wise counsel when required. For now thanks for the impact you have had on me already, whether you know you did or not. God has brought my husband Joseph and me to College Heights for a reason, and I believe meeting and learning from you awesome ladies is one of those reasons. Keep teaching, I’ll keep learning. ~ Jessica Lang

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT MINISTRY Interested in sharing a meal once a semester with one of 100 international students in the Joplin area? Sign up in the Atrium today and enjoy a cross-cultural experience right in your own home!
FRIENDSHIP FAMILIES Families are invited to become actively involved with international students through the simple Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner? program. Friendship Families agree to have a student over for a meal once a month. We try to keep it simple, so families feel comfortable knowing they can do this. It’s not a weekly or time-consuming commitment. Families and students are matched by similar interests, and many continue meeting with their student past the semester or year they signed up for, but it’s not required. Empty nesters, Jim and Heather, host 10-15 international students in their home on Sunday nights. “The first time you’re a guest, after that, you’re family,” is their motto and familiar to over 50 students that see them as their American “Mom and Dad.” Students share food, joys, holidays, struggles, cultural events, university accomplishments, camping with Jim and Heather. Many also help with the church’s annual Great Day of Service working in the community each fall doing yard work and projects. Around 25 students join them to rake, mow,
ANNUAL EVENTS
We host several events each year to bring together international students, Friendship Families, local resident internationals, and language partners. A Goat Roast is held in the fall and pleases many international students in ways Americans can’t imagine (stuffed goat intestines with sausage are not my thing, but they love it…). Comments like, “This reminds me of home,” are heard as goat
sweep and enjoy a picnic together after working at a local park with over hundreds of others that participate from the community. Friendship Families and college age students are great at inviting internationals to join them on a variety of activities like camping, picnics, canoeing, state parks, theme parks, weddings, funerals, graduations, birthdays, day trips, garage sales, holidays… the list goes on and gets longer every year. This is not hard to do! These international students may be like Megumi, and have never met a Christian, or like Francis, and be drawn to the “everyday kind of quietly epic life” that Jesus followers are living out. Jesus himself challenges us to reach out to the stranger, open our doors, set another place at the table, buy a goat, roast a chicken, purchase an extra gift or ticket, and begin sharing life with the international guests that are waiting for an invitation. What are you waiting for? He was a stranger. Have you had Him in?
and sheep, chicken, rice, and ugali are eaten in a field where hundreds of guests sit around a bonfire. Chinese New Year brings together international students, Friendship Families, and the area Chinese community with authentic Chinese food, chopstick-peanut eating contest, dried-seaweedeating contest, and a photo booth where attendees can dress up Asian with their friends. A Middle East Feast and Easter Lunch are additional events hosted for internationals.
For more information, contact Trish Udell, Internationals Associate, at 624.6915 x375 or email tudell@chcchurch.org.

Great Day of Service This once-a-year service extravaganza happens every September. We need people to be a part of teams sent into the city to work on people’s homes and yards as well as ministries and relief organizations. LifeChoices This ministry to people struggling to make right choices concerning sex, disease, and pregnancy needs volunteers to answer phones, counsel, and help in practical ways. Life House This outreach ministry to a struggling community could use help loving children by playing with neighborhood kids, taking photos and videos, leading in craft and worship time, cleaning, and general maintenance work such as plumbing and electrical projects. Watered Gardens This ministry to the poor of Joplin needs help in office and computer work, sorting donations, preparing food, home repair, construction, cleaning, lawn care, tutoring, and more.

As you think ahead to the Christmas season, make plans to make it meaningful. “One Less Gift” can be a part of that.
