One ministry Moss expressed an interest is to build on the youth ministry. Said Moss, “We want to have a real vibrant youth ministry. We want everybody in this community to know that they have a place that they can send their children- where they can get a good spiritual education, even be physically fed and really just have a good time in the Lord.”
Another ministry Moss wants to start is a Marriage Ministry, along with his wife, coupled with a series of sermons to be preached this month anchored by Psalms 127:1. “We put together a sermon series called Marriage Builders. And from that series we’re gonna launch a ministry called Marriage builders. A lot of people think that scripture is talking about building the Lord’s Church, but its really talking ’bout building families,” states Moss.
As for addressing outreach in the Lake Como community Moss indicates they have plans for an active outreach program. said Moss, “I asked a question to the leadership when I first came to this Church, I said if Lake Como shuts its doors today- who in this community would miss is? I wanted them to know where my mindset was. I want usto be the Church, going forward, that people can depend on.
