Campus Ministry Directory and Local Worship Styles

Pastor Carl Tenney - Fayette Community Church
Fayette Community Church is a ministry of The Wesleyan Church. Our purpose for Worship is to create a place where man and God can meet and Christ our Lord is celebrated! Our worship style is a blended service with a mix of contemporary choruses and traditional hymns, so that young and old feel at home in their expression of worship to God. We have a praise team to lead us in the song worship, including the Piano, Organ, Guitar and when possible Drums to assist us in our songs of praise. We hold to the Word of God and understand this portion of Worship as God's expression to us. We celebrate open Communion once a month. By this we mean you do not have to be a member of our Church to partake Communion with us, but you do need to be a Christian. We also have a fellowship dinner following Worship on the 3rd Sunday of the month and would love to have you as our guest. Church Website.

Pastor Jason Princer - First United Methodist Church
First United Methodist Church's worship style is Christ centered with music that is mostly traditional with a moderately contemporary flair. We have recently moved into a blended style worship with praise chorus on the Sundays the choir sings which is every other Sunday with a more relaxed style of preaching. On the Sundays the choir does not sing, we include many of the "old time gospel" favorites in our signing and a more traditional style of preaching with more liturgy. We even have a web site address now, but the web pages are not complete yet.

Grace Lutheran Church
Grace Lutheran Church's worship is Christ-centered, so each week we are led into His presence, fed His Word and Supper, led to respond often with the Words He has given us and sent forth into the world with His blessings. Our style viewed by some as traditional - liturgical connects us with believers through the centuries who have cried out, "Lord have mercy…Holy, Holy, Holy…O Lamb of God." In this way our service is both ancient and contemporary, and for those overwhelmed by the constant change of the world, there is comfort in a familiar pattern. Gathered by God we do not see our purpose to entertain or tell you only what you want to hear. Each week our Lord's Word is read, sung and proclaimed in all its truth, calling sin - sin, and revealing grace - as grace, so that by God's Spirit we are convicted, forgiven, healed and empowered.

Father Jim Brokman - St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church
St. Francis of Assisi parish is a traditional Roman Catholic parish. Our liturgy is the Mass of the Roman rite. If you were raised in the Catholic tradition, you will find this to be very familiar. Our music is accompanied by guitar most of the time (but we are always looking for keyboard players - either piano or organ!). Our music leader chooses songs to complement the theme of the liturgy. These may be traditional hymns, but more often are the work of newer liturgical song writers. The Mass consists of the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist, which culminates in the reception of communion under the appearance of bread and wine. At this time, only baptized Catholics may receive the Eucharist, but we look forward to the day when all barriers to full communion are dissolved. We welcome all ages to our liturgy and encourage active participation in the prayers, songs and gestures appropriate to the Mass. Catholic or not, you are invited to join us any Sunday at 10:30 a.m. to experience a traditional Catholic liturgy.

Pastor Shannon Perry – Faith Evangelical Church
Faith Evangelical Church is a laid back group of people who are seeking God’s will for our lives with a relevant blend of the traditional and contemporary. We seek to be Christ-Centered, People-Focused in all that we do without relying on the religious norms of our day. Come check us out either on Sunday mornings at 10 a.m., or Wednesday nights for our modern worship at 7 p.m. Church Website.
