Get
Involved!
   
The Clinton church has a yearly
schedule of programs and activities that are designed to provide
opportunities for spiritual growth, fellowship,
recreation, and service.
Silver Saints
This active group of seniors
coordinates many activities throughout the year. The Silver Saints
host holiday get-togethers, picnics, and congregational outings to
Pigeon Forge and other local attractions. Each Silver Saint also
becomes an adopted "grandparent" to one of the children of the
congregation.
Youth Ministry
The Clinton church is blessed with
a fantastic group of kids, from cradle roll to college. Whether it's
going to camp in the summer, working on a service project, running
Vacation Bible School, participating in the Lads to Leaders program, or simply hanging out together and going to a
movie, the Clinton Youth are great examples of the Christian life.
We are committed to a strong and growing Youth Ministry, proving that a
smaller congregation can provide an excellent environment for the
spiritual growth of young people.
Check out the Youth Page for more information!
Area-Wide Youth Events
The Clinton church participates in
an area-wide youth ministry with several churches of Christ in the East
Tennessee area. Devotionals are hosted by individual
congregations throughout the school year. Other events include a
Spring Retreat, autumn hayride, lock-ins, picnics and more!
Young Adults &
Families
This active
young adult group is organized in an informal and casual way. We
often meet together before or after services to eat together at a
restaurant, enjoy recreational activities, and plan Youth Group and
other congregational activities.
Ladies
Ministry
The
ladies of the Clinton church meet monthly for lunch and fellowship at a
local restaurant. In addition to various projects such as the
Quilting Bee, making bears for children in foreign mission fields, and
various service projects, the ladies also host Clinton's Ladies
Inspiration Day or a Ladies Retreat. This annual meeting/retreat is an opportunity for the ladies of Clinton
and area congregations to spend time together
in fellowship and learning. Special speakers and classes are
featured as well as time for fun and fellowship!
Quilting Bee
Quilt-lovers enjoy spending
time together creating handmade quilts to donate to various causes such
as Potter Children's Home, Knoxville Christian School,
Freed-Hardeman University, etc.
Young-At-Heart Dinner
A special service to the seniors
of our congregation provided by the youth group. The fellowship
hall is transformed to fit the theme of the night and a delicious dinner
is served along with some entertainment. Past dinners have
included a down-home country dinner served by waiters wearing overalls
and a 50's diner complete with poodle skirts!
Autumn Bonfire
As the weather cools down
and leaves begin to fall, we enjoy a time of fellowship together.
Gospel Meetings
The Clinton church of Christ holds
one or two Gospel Meetings each year. This is a time of revival
and renewal for all who attend. A sincere invitation is extended
to the community to come and hear the word of God preached. A
luncheon is provided following the Sunday morning worship service.
Food Pantry
The fully-stocked pantry is always
available to those in the community who are in need. Canned food,
juice, baby formula, toiletries, and Bibles are given away throughout the year.
Monthly Song Services
Our evening services every last
Sunday of the month are focused on praising God in song. We use
this opportunity to learn new songs as well as sing old favorites.
The purity of voices in praise to the Father is a wonderful experience
shared by the family at Clinton. Following this service, we enjoy
a time of fellowship together with a meal.
FHU Lectureship
Several members of the Clinton
church travel to Freed-Hardeman University in Henderson, Tennessee in
February to attend the annual Lectureship.
Game
Nights
Bring some games and snacks to
this fun family event! We have family game nights throughout the
year on Friday evenings. Before the clock strikes midnight on New
Year's Eve, we have
a period of singing and prayer to welcome in the new year that the Lord
has blessed us with.
Teenage Christian Camp
There are six weeks of camp
available to kids ages 8 to 18. Many from the Clinton congregation
participate in several weeks each year. Week 3 is directed by Mike
"Stump" Smith of Clinton. See the TCC page for more
information.
Vacation Bible School
VBS is a big deal at Clinton!
This is a special time for the young children of our congregation, our
community, and area congregations. It's also a special time for
those who coordinate and operate VBS. The time spent building
sets, rehearsing puppet skits, studying lessons, preparing food....it's
all worth it when we see the faces of those precious children.
Church Van
Transportation to any of our
services, meetings, Bible studies, or activities is available to anyone
who might need it. Please contact the church office by phone or
send us an email if you need a ride.
Technology
Various technological
components are available for members and visitors of the Clinton church.
Hearing assistance devices are available at each service. All
sermons are digitally recorded and are available on CD upon request.
In our library, Bible studies and lessons on DVD are provided for
in-home or on-site viewing. This website contains links to online
Bible studies, teaching aids, and other Christian media.
