Every Christian is responsible for his/her own spiritual growth. While it is the duty of Cottonwood’s leaders to provide opportunities for worship, instruction, ministry, and fellowship – ultimately, spiritual maturity will depend on individual obedience to the Lord and the Word of God.

Daily prayer and Bible reading is essential to everyone. Venues for developing friendships, accountability, and ministry will be found in Home Groups and Ministry Teams. We encourage each member to be a part of a Home, Discipleship, or Ministry Group – for it is on the small group level that most needs are met.
The Book of Proverbs tells us that “he who waters will also be watered himself” (11:24) and we therefore encourage you to seek an opportunity to serve in Cottonwood. You, because of your gifts, interests, and background, are specially equipped to serve in a unique capacity that will bless others – and, therefore, yourself!

Opportunities are nearly endless with existing ministries. We can always use Bible Study leaders, Home Group leaders, Sunday School and Children’s Church teachers, as well as volunteers in music, drama, technical production, printing, facility upkeep – along with a vast, untapped list of other opportunities waiting for you!
Jesus Christ has commanded us to do what we can to care for widows and orphans, to feed the hungry, clothe the poor, and welcome visitors as well as visit the sick and those in jail.

Talk with a pastor or deacon to help you get a bearing on ministry needs at Cottonwood Community Church!
