(re)building

What would happen if the people of God were fully committed to the work of God in the world? What would happen if when we prayed, “Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done,” we meant it with sincerity of heart? What if we laid aside our own dreams, desires, and ambitions and allowed God to replace them with his own?

To answer these questions, we will be looking to the book of Nehemiah. We will catch a glimpse of what it looks like when God’s vision and burden becomes our own, what it looks like when people come together for a cause bigger than themselves, and what will happen when church culture is exchanged for Kingdom culture.

When God is at work, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished. (re)building will be examining the limitless potential for God’s kingdom when the power of His word is coupled with the enthusiasm of committed individuals.

EMC Welcomes Jeff Wortman and Family

Jeff Wortman and family have recently joined the fellowship and ministry team of Elizabeth City Evangelical Methodist Church. After 10 years of ministry at Potomac Baptist Church in Sterling, VA, Jeff, his wife, Chelsea, and their three young boys took a leap of faith and followed the Lord’s leading to uproot their family to come be a part of EMC. Jeff’s first day on staff as the Minister of Music & Worship was Tuesday, August 15 and we are excited to see all the Lord is going to produce for his Kingdom through Jeff’s ministry.

To learn more about Jeff, please visit his bio page from the Ministry Team section of this website. Click here to send Jeff an email welcoming him to EMC!

3-week Cancer Course

A diagnosis of cancer can turn your world upside down and leave you asking, “What do I do now?” EMC’s Stephen Ministry will be offering a study of the book, Cancer Now What?, by Dr. Kenneth Haugk. This informal course will be open to members of the congregation as well as the community. The price of the book is $16 and there is no additional cost for attending the 3 sessions which will convene in the Friendship Suites of the FYF Center at 7 pm.

  • Thursday, Sept. 21 – Our initial meeting will provide an overview of the scope & sequence of the study, some personal insights, and a discussion of some of the spiritual challenges this diagnosis can bring.
  • Thursday, Oct. 5 – Becky Hill of New Direction Center will discuss some of the emotional and relational issues connected with a cancer diagnosis.
  • Thursday, Oct. 19 – Dr. Michael Hopkins, an oncologist, will focus on a number of questions regarding the medical diagnosis and treatment process.

If you would like to order a copy of the book or have questions regarding the study, please contact us.
