JOIN A MINISTRY!
Sunset Church of Christ is a vibrant church with many different kinds of ministries. We believe that people are most fulfilled when they are engaged in making a difference and when their own needs are being met. We’re seeking to become a place where people can grow and give and be ministered to. Is there something we do that you might benefit from? Feel free to contact our ministry leaders below for more information.
CHILDREN'S
Sunset Kids welcomes children from newborn through 5th graders to build relationships with each other and with our trained volunteers. These relationships and our classes offered on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights are designed to help our children realize that they are an important part of our diverse community learning to follow Jesus. Our Children’s Ministry also provides support and resources for parents.
What has God called you to do? Some of the work we do includes class teachers, class helpers, special event workers, materials management, decorating, setup and cleanup crews, proofreading and translating.
YOUTH
The Sunset Youth Group is dedicated to helping kids and teens grow in their relationship to God and get plugged into his family. We strive to create a safe, fun, and welcoming environment where they can build a stronger spiritual life while having a good time. With all sorts of activities and classes, there are plenty of ways to get involved!
The Youth Ministry is always looking for volunteers to serve as chaperones, drivers, event coordinators or just people who wants to collaborate in the different aspects of the Youth Program.
College & Young Professionals
This ministry is designed to reach our college students and friends with different programs and activities such as retreats, fellowship times, Bible classes and outreach projects.
Being a Young Adult presents a whole mess of life choices. Career path, relationships, where to live, how to spend your time and most importantly – what role does faith have? Sunset is a place where young adults are navigating life together. We fix our eyes on Jesus to become the people He’s created us to be. We do this through plowing deep into Scripture to discover what the Bible truly teaches, by engaging in honest and open conversations to gain new insights.
Young Families
The Sunset Church understands the importance of including our children in all aspects of “church.” A crucial element is relationship building within a group of children to help them grow and encourage one another. The Young Families ministry’s focus is to create opportunities for children to get together in different settings to create and strengthen these connections at an early age, with the hope that they will continue through the different stages of life.
Parents also benefit from this model. From Life Group meetings to the annual Breakfast with Santa event, parents are able to grow and connect with one another through the raising of their children together in Christ. We hope your family will consider joining and actively participating in this wonderful ministry!

Ushers & Greeters

Seniors
“…they flourish in the courts of our God. They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green, to declare that the LORD is upright…” — Psalm 92:13b-15
Whoever trusts in the Lord will continue to bear good fruit at every stage of their life. The certain promise of God to his people is that he will always be at work in and through us, regardless of our circumstances, abilities, or age. This is an essential truth for the older adults in our church communities. We live in a world that frequently marginalizes and dismisses the role and value of older adults. This must not be so for God’s people, for older adults play a vital role in the life of the church. Come join us as we teach, lead, and care for one another.
