Please note that there will be no Sunday Connections that Sunday.

Ignis Dei is a Friday Night – Saturday Morning men’s conference, featuring praise and worship, breakout sessions, gifted speakers, conversations around men’s issues, and discussions about what biblical masculinity actually is. This event is open to all men high school age and up, regardless of what church you attend or if you even attend church at all. This is open to men from all over the community, so be sure to register in advance while seats are still available!

Handyman Ministry
Formed from Men for Christ, the Handyman’s group offers their handyman services on projects around the church and to those in need within our church. Individuals requiring assistance with simple tasks they are unable to complete themselves (such as replacing smoke detectors, yard assistance or minor home repairs) can put in a request for help from this group by using the link to the form below. The Handyman Ministry also assists the Trustees Committee with small jobs on the Pierce Chapel campus. For more information, please contact Team Coordinator Rick Dorer at dorerr@bellsouth.net.

Children’s Ministry Info
At Pierce Chapel, we believe that children are valued members who are fully able to experience and participate in worship, grow in discipleship and enjoy fellowship with each other!
