MINISTRIES – BE A BECON OF LIGHT

We INVITE you to join one of our ministries and together we will grow, learn and enjoy our time together, knowing that we are followers of Jesus.

MEN’s MINISTRY –

 
Our men’s ministry is a group for the men (young and old) from our community & church family.  As friends and members of the Christian community, we meet monthly.  We learn from each other, share a meal, grow from a Biblical perspective, and have fun.  In the past we have gone bowling, trap shooting, toured naval ships, attended Padres games, and watched football together as we ate our way through all 4 quarters!  All men, from teenagers to seniors, are invited to be a part of this fellowship.  
 
 

All men are welcome and encouraged to bring a friend.

 
SENIORS MINISTRY – Young @ Heart
 
 
Whether you consider yourself a senior citizen, or an early retiree, we invite you to join us for our monthly events.  Typically, we get together in Rooms 1 and 2, for a brief devotional or Bible lesson, themed lunch, movie or play cards.  Canasta, Ino, or Bridge anyone?  Together we share our Valentine stories, participate in luau’s, Fourth of July parties, and Christmas white elephant exchanges.  
 
Monthly events, check with the church or calendar for next get together.

Prayer Quilt Ministry

The prayer quilters meet each Monday from 10AM to Noon. Some sew, knit, crochet, iron, talk, and just enjoy the company of others.  The quilts are presented & dedicated in the Sunday worship service. The quilt is then presented to the person in need of special prayers.  The LCPC Prayer Ministry has made over almost 800 quilts since this ministry began. 

Prayer Ministry

Prayer is an important aspect of the Christian life and at LCPC we have a variety of ways you can pray. We hold 24-hour Prayer Vigils, Prayer breakfast, Prayer Walks, become a Prayer Warrior.  We also provide a list of prayers to pray on your own.  We encouraged you to Pray anywhere, whether it was at the church, in your home, in your car, or outside.  As you take the time pray you will find your relationship with the Lord will grow deeper.  
 

Missional Outreach

LCPC is thrilled to be part of the spread of God’s kingdom around the world. We are active in sending missionaries and supporting these missionaries with our money and with our prayers. We support multiple missionaries around the world, from San Diego to Florida, Africa, Mexico, and Malaysia.  We encourage all of our people to respond to God’s call for laborers, whether it means they move to a foreign country, or minister in our own community.
