Resurrection Easter Egg Hunt 

This not so traditional egg hunt gives the Church an opportunity to share the story of Jesus' resurrection.  The party sends the children on a hunt that leads to the true treasure of Easter, Jesus.

Rooted Women Ministries

Mission statement:  To teach women to simply live for God, to be firmly planted, deeply rooted & united as one in Him. 

Vision:  Express the love & care of the Lord by supporting women. 

We meet twice a month on the 2nd and 4th Mondays from 6:00-8:00.  We share a meal and then break out into small groups to study different topics and pray together.

We have additional events and trips throughout the year where we come together to enjoy fellowship, laughter and fun.

Christian Women's Connection (aka WCG)

This ministry's primary objective is to support missionaries and their work in and outside the US.  Each year we sponsor a child in another country.  We have a yearly campaign to monetarily support a cause such as clean drinking water, renovations of a homeless shelter, etc. We go beyond the walls of the church and minister to those that may not have the privilege of knowing Jesus Christ.

Haven Youth Ministry 

Haven Youth is for our older kids in 6th through 12th grades. Teenagers are navigating an entirely different part of life, and they need more practical guidance and concrete Biblical facts to give them a firm foundation of faith. Our youth ministries will teach, challenge and grow our young people in the Word of God so they have the best start into adulthood!.

Haven Youth Sunday School is taught by Mark Darmafall. 

Wednesday evening is 6:00-7:30 p.m. at the Future of Moundsville Youth Center, located next door to the church! 

Kidz City

Kidz City is for our kids aged 4 through 5th grade.  We have designed a bright, colorful "City" just for your children where they will learn Biblical truths and how to apply them to their lives.

Dinner for Six

Dinner for Six is an opportunity to learn more about each other while sharing a dinner. It doesn't have to be anything fancy; pizza or hot dogs would be just fine to serve. This ministry is made up of 6 people getting together once a month for 3 months at a different location to get more acquainted and learn more about each other. We are a family at Ash Avenue Church of God, and this gives us an opportunity to bond and grow in our fellowship with each other.

Praise, Worship and Choir 

We have incredible talent within our congregation. These people allow their gifts and talents to be used by God for His glory. Our praise team is consisted of musicians and vocalists who volunteer their time to learn, rehearse, and lead the congregation in worship each week.

Our Sanctuary Choir presents musical specials and Cantatas during Easter and Christmas.  With our Cantata presentations, we add drama to bring the message to life!

Ordinances 

We observe the following ordinances throughout the year. 

Communion is  observed the first Sunday of the month. Volunteers prepare the communion elements of grape juice and bread wafers.

Baptism is observed when we have people who desire to take the next step in their faith by proclaiming Jesus as their Lord with immersion. Volunteers prepare the baptistry, clean up and launder towels afterwards.

Foot washing is observed on Maundy Thursday before Easter, in accordance with Jesus' example when He washed His disciples' feet at the Last Supper. Buckets and bowls, along with clean towels are prepared among circle of chairs.  Volunteers clean up and launder towels afterwards.

Traveling Sisters

The Traveling Sisters is part of the Rooted Women Ministries. We usually take a trip in the Spring and in the Fall of each year. We've gone to Sight & Sound in Lancaster PA, we've seen Priscilla Shirer in conference, we've ventured to the Amish Country in Sugar Creek OH and attended Toby Mac concert in Pittsburgh PA.  If you love to see new things, travel, laugh, eat and fellowship with your sisters-in-Christ, this is the ministry group for you.
