This is a great group of young people, they have a lot of fun. In times past they have participated in the associational youth rallies, holding the title for a long time, for having the most present. They’ve won first place in past Harlan County Christmas parades for Best Float. They have also won first place in the Loyall, Ky Christmas Parade for best Float, and they go on various trips, like Kentucky Kingdom, King’s Island, Christian Concerts, such as ones that feature Casting Crowns and Newsboys and, they have also went to Jump Jam, an indoor trampoline place and the Nascar Speed Park with Go-Carts in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, and of course trips around Harlan, the Martin's Fork Lake and the Hamrick Bowling Alley. They have had lock-ins, which are a lot of fun - also known as the "Sleepless Sleepover." Then around the holidays they bring out the best, they visit the nursing homes, and Hospitals, showing and sharing the love of Christ, giving of themselves to make someone happy during the holidays.
This Youth Group is also reaching out to the homeless and hungry of Harlan. A monthly, on-going ministry is to fill and supply the various Blessing Boxes with non-perishable food and supplies every last Wednesday of the the month.

MEN’S BROTHERHOOD
This group is comprised of the men of the church. Their meetings are primarily about the needs of the church and the community. During the summer months they keep the grounds looking extra good. They have the ladies or mothers, a breakfast honoring them on special days. They plan and do most of the cooking for any and all cook-outs we have during the year. During the beginning of the school year, they see that kids of the community have shoes and supplies for school and also at the beginning of the cold weather they make sure the kids of the community have coats. Their biggest blessing each year is to distribute a full course turkey dinner, with all the trimmings, to needy and shut-in families during the Holiday seasons of Thanksgiving and Christmas. They are under the direction of Shelby Wilson.
HARLAN COUNTY CHRISTIAN OUTREACH
This group was formed some time ago, focusing on the addicted, their families, and our community, as an outreach for those struggling with the problems of alcohol, drug, parent, spouse, or sexual abuse. This group’s sole purpose and mission was to let those who are addicted know that they can “break free” from the chains that hold them, through the compassion and healing that only comes from Jesus Christ. Their mission also, with the uniting of all churches in Harlan County, is to clean up and rid our county, one community at time, of drugs and alcohol abuse. Anyone and everyone are welcome to attend our meetings. However, this group is currently on hold.
Bus Ministry
