Service Groups

At Winners Chapel International, Harrisburg, there is a place for everyone. We have many opportunities for every person to minister and in turn, be ministered to. We invite you to take time to explore the different ministry opportunities we have at our Church and take the time to serve and get involved. There are many benefits of Kingdom Service. The Word of God validates this in Exodus 23:25:

“And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.”

One of the most rewarding things you can do is to be of service to others. It not only helps others but it also helps you. We urge you to pray about where God wants you to serve and get plugged in.

Remember, “…. It is more blessed to give than to receive” – Acts 20:35. As you give your time, and service, God’s blessings will envelope you and your household in Jesus name.

The children’s department is one of the many service groups in the church. It is not just a service group but a ministry of its own: a colorful, energetic, entertaining and dynamic ministry focused on teaching the word of faith to children from age 1 month to 12 years.

- From a young age, this ministry help our children to understand the word of faith.
- They provide learning in a fun-filled, child-centred, Christ dominated environment
- They also help the children to discover and use the gifts (spiritual, physical and mental) that God has deposited in them

The aim is to teach them and train them in the word of God at the early stages of their lives. The Bible says in Proverbs 22:6 that “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” So training the child to know who God is and how to walk in His ways even as children is the preoccupation of this department.
