Experience inner healing with a sozo appointment, join our very creative Media Arts team, or one of the many connection groups we have to choose from. We continue to prove there is so much more to church than just Sundays!
WELCOME TO OUR COMMUNITY
CHILDREN
JPL Children’s Ministry has a vision to establish a Kingdom foundation that empowers children to encounter God and partner with Him to transform the world, guided by four important truths:
God is in a good mood, Jesus’ blood paid for everything,
I am important, with God nothing is impossible.
​
Our Children’s Ministry is an interactive time of worship, lesson, craft, games, activation and reflection; all centered around honoring, learning about, and encountering God.

The Well – Youth Group
Being a teenager is a time full of many changes, ups and downs, lots of growing, and self discovery. The world tells our youth all sorts of things of who they should be, how they should act, how they should dress, the list goes on… God created each of us uniquely with purpose and a destiny on our lives that He desires to fulfill as we pursue Him with our whole hearts. We believe that loving, empowering, and speaking into their identities can help them walk into the fullness of who God created them to be.
​
Every Wednesday our youth meet together for a time filled with snacks, games, live worship, and a Bible based teaching on relevant issues they deal with in their everyday lives.
“Taste and see that the Lord is good” – Psalm 34:8

Women
JPL Women’s Ministry exists to encourage and empower women to be all who God created them to be, beautiful from the inside out; walking in grace, confidence, and dignity. Throughout the year, various special events, banquets, and retreats are held to create a time for women to connect with one another and God, and form many lasting memories. Weekly groups are also led by various small group leaders to create a smaller, more intimate time to get to know one another and connect together as women.

Men
JPL Men’s Ministry believes that men were created to stand out, be bold, and pursue God whole-heartedly everywhere you go. Men are called to be providers and protectors, and women, children and wives are a reflection of the way we treat them. Throughout the year, various small groups, conferences, and an annual retreat are held to create a time to get away from the every day routines of their lives, and enjoy friendship with other men, all while learning more about God and His Word.

When: Tuesdays @ 6:30pm
Location: JPL Church

Prayer Team
The Prayer Team provides individually targeted prayer in real-time. Specially trained and equipped believers are ready to pray for those in need. The Prayer Team ministers after the service Sunday morning.
​
Encouragement Ministry
This is not professional counseling. Trained JPL ‘encouragers’ will listen and interact using the Bible with the help of the Holy Spirit. “Let God transform the way you think.” Romans 12:2

Healing Wells
With the Holy Spirit, we will discern if the demonic is harassing or if a stronghold is established. The Bible says we’ve been given weapons with divine power to demolish strongholds. Trained and empowered, this team can break strongholds, set you free, and refill you with the Holy Spirit.
