Adult Education
Mission: To mature disciples.
We believe disciples mature best in
community. Mt. Horeb provides a variety of groups for
nurture and development of the Christian faith.
Sunday School:
Sunday school classes are small groups ranging from 15-35
people. Bible Study and Christian-based materials teach how
to be more like Jesus. Most classes have fellowship events
outside the church setting to cement relationships and build
community. Classes are available at 9:00 and 10:30a.m.
Small Groups:
Our Small Group ministry provides a community of 8-14 people
who meet to study what it means to live as a Christian.
Some groups meet in homes, others at the church. If you are
looking for a place to ask difficult questions and find
answers then a small group is the place for you!
Short Term Bible Studies:
Short Term Studies occur on a semester rotation and meet at
various times throughout the week.. Classes are taught by
pastors, staff, and lay people. A class may focus on a book
of the Bible, a popular book on Christian living, or on a
particular topic. If you are taking your first steps into
spiritual growth or you have been studying the Bible for
years, there is a study that will help you grow.

Children’s Ministries

Mission: Make, Mature, Multiply and
Mobilize Young Disciples
At
Mt. Horeb we believe the single most important thing we will
ever teach our children is to know Jesus Christ because in
the end, nothing else matters. Our children's ministry
is called L.I.F.E., and includes dynamic weekly programming
for children of all ages.
On Sunday mornings, elementary age children may choose to
participate in our large group / small group L.I.F.E. Time
Sunday School at 9:00 or they may choose L.I.F.E. GLU
at
10:30 for a time of live worship and prayer, followed by age
appropriate biblical teaching. Traditional Sunday
School is available for the younger children and a loving,
clean nursery is available during all services.
Wednesday
nights for kids, known as L.I.F.E. University, provides an
opportunity for small group fellowship, combined with
in-depth Bible study, prayer and FUN! Annual
children's events include a dynamic Vacation Bible School,
Pumpkin Patch Festival, and Happy Birthday Jesus Parties.
Many opportunities exist for our young people to grow in
their faith walk.

CONGREGATIONAL
CARE
Mission: To be the hands and feet of
Jesus Christ
We have so many
opportunities each day to be the hands and feet of Jesus
Christ - and we want to help each one find their place of
service. Maybe it's visiting someone in the hospital,
joining our recently formed Stephen Ministry team, caring
for a family during a time of grief or loss, or visiting
with a shut-in or nursing home resident...whatever need
arises. We believe that God has equipped and enabled
someone - perhaps you...to meet that very need!

Congregational Care: Troy Simpson |

Music & Fine Art Ministries
Mission: To
glorify God, lead others in worship, and mature disciples
who use their gifts and skills in service to God.
We
strive to provide a balanced ministry of worship,
discipleship, outreach, and fellowship in all we do.
Our highest calling is first, to worship - being faithful in
praise and to glorify our Lord Jesus with those gifts God
has given to each of us. Discovering and developing
those gifts are ways of equipping the saints for ministry,
through rehearsals, teaching, coaching, and hands-on
experience. We want to use our talents as a vehicle
for bringing people into God's Kingdom through inspiring,
dynamic worship and embracing our tremendous heritage of
great hymns, as well as the contemporary music of today.
We are continuing
our efforts to build an exceptional music and fine arts
ministry at Mt. Horeb. Currently the music program
includes: Chancel Choir; vocal and instrumental
ensembles; exceptional soloists; graded Children's Choirs
(preschool to grade 5); PRIORITY youth choirs (grades 6-12);
handbell choir; and orchestra (for special concerts).
Fine Arts opportunities include: the Michelangelo
Ministry (visual arts); Drama; Production Crews from set
construction to costumes for major musicals; sound, video,
and lighting tech team; and volunteers for the concert
series. Our Praise Band leads worship each week at our
contemporary service.
Concerts at Mt.
Horeb, supported by the Friends of Music, is the result of a
vision to bring the ministry, music, and inspiration of some
of America's top Christian artists to the Lexington
Community.

Student Ministry
Mission: To ignite
the spark of faith, fuel the flame of growth, and light the
world on fire!
We believe that
teenagers aren't the church of tomorrow, but are rather the
church of today and that they can do incredible things for
the Kingdom of God. Our ministry seeks to introduce
teenagers to a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ,
disciple them through Bible teaching, passionate worship,
and small groups, and then to equip them to do real
ministry.
Middle School students meet
on Sunday mornings at 10:30 for the Remix and then on Wednesday nights from 6:00-7:30 p.m.
for The Fuse. High School students meet
Sunday mornings at 10:30 for the Remix, and then on Sunday nights from 6:00-7:30 p.m.
for Ignite. Both ministries offer Fuel Cells, our youth
small groups, throughout the week.
Special activities such as
retreats, seminars, ski trips, mission trips, community
outreach projects, and ministry teams encourage students to
follow the example of Jesus and reflect God’s love to
others.

Ministry Staff: Andy
Cunningham (HS), Trevor Miller (MS) and Meghan Sanders
