Sunday School:
For children, there is a class for each age group and grade. For adults, there are several classes ranging from
College & Career to our Fellowship class. There is an all men's and an all ladies class, a young married's
class, and classes for married's that aren't as young as they used to be (but are still young at heart!). Adults
are invited to visit the different classes to determine which one God wants you to join. Sunday is the best way
to get to know other members and to get involved in the church. There is always a need for help in Sunday
school classes, just ask a teacher.
Discipleship Training:
We offer several tracks of training ranging on topics from the Holy Spirit to Evangelism to Prayer to Spiritual
gifts. Our goal is to encourage more and more people to be involved. Various classes are sometimes held in
a ladies or men only format.
Church Visitation:
We have an organized church wide visitation program on Tuesday nights at 7:00 pm. You are encouraged to
attend and participate. This is a time when we go out to the homes of church visitors or members to let them
know we care and to share the love of Christ with them.
Wednesday Night Prayer Service:
On Wednesday evenings, there is a mid-week prayer meeting. This dedicated service to prayer provides the
opportunity to lift up the needs of the church body. During the service children are encouraged to participate in
the various classes for their appropriate age group such as the Youth group, GA's, RA's, & Mission Friends.
We also provide a nursery for the babies.
Deacon Ministry: Here at Cedar Bay Baptist we have a Deacon staff dedicated to meeting the needs of church families. Should a need arise or you or a family member is hospitalized the Deacon of the week should be your first point of contact. A communication plan is in effect to notify all Staff and Deacons in order to be praying and ministering to the need. In the event you cannot reach a Deacon please contact the church office immediately.

Music Ministry: The Lord has really blessed Cedar Bay Baptist with some very talented soloists as well as a fantastic choir and praise band. If you enjoy singing or just listening, come be a part of our music ministry. We have something for all ages and all tastes. We also have a drama team that performs with the Choir for Easter and Christmas musicals.

Cottage Prayer Meetings:
A Cottage Prayer Meeting is hosted in the homes of various church members. They are informal and allows
for a time of sharing both prayer requests and praises with one another. We rejoice together over the praises
or prayers answered and we pray together over the needs/issues that are mentioned. We start around 7pm,
and yes, finger food or covered dish is appropriate for the fellowship following the Prayer meeting.
Women on Mission:
WOM is a two-fold ministry. Our Women on Mission ministry serves to educate our women and support the
various mission ministries of the Baptist Association such as the Annie Armstrong, Lottie Moon, and the
Maguire State Missions, etc. They reach out to the community by assisting with various projects such as
working with the Baptist Children's Home, North Jax Resource Center, etc. We encourage to get involved in
the monthly meetings to allow God to use you and learn more about missions. We also encourage you through
our women's ministry to become involved by helping us minister within our church body by assisting the
elderly, providing for the needy and a host of other services when and where needed. As part of the Women's
Ministry our ladies attend an bi-annual weekend retreat for a time of fellowship and spiritual renewal. From
time to time we also have "Ladies Day Out" for a time of fun and fellowship with one another.
Baptist Men:
We welcome you and extend an open invitation to join us in Christian Fellowship. We encourage you to
support our men's ministry through a growing relationship to God with other men. Come discover what God
can do for you and through you.
Baptist Men's Creed: To know the way (John 14:6)
To show the way (2 Tim 2:15)
To go the way (Matt 28:19-20
Our Main Goal: To serve God, and Jesus Christ out of gratitude for saving our souls.
Mission Statement: To promote God's Word and His leadership in the lives of all men.
Meetings: We meet on the first Saturday of every month, rotating times and
months. We enjoy a meal while fellowshipping with each other. We
have a time of Prayer and Bible Study afterwards for spiritual
growth.
Meeting Times: Breakfast 8:30am
Dinner 5:00pm
JOY (Just Older Youth):
We are so blessed at Cedar Bay to have a very active Senior Adult group - known as "JOY" - Just Older
Youth! They have a regular meeting day, the second Thursday of each month at 11:30, in the Church
Fellowship hall, for a luncheon. There they have a wonderful time of fun and fellowship, and planning future
activities. Not only does this group enjoy the fun side of life, but they seek special ministries they can be a part
of. They are still active in the church, such as teaching, music, and the various mission groups that are
available. We welcome those who are fifty and older, and enjoy Christian fellowship, to come and be a part of
JOY. We look forward to seeing you there.
"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint" ~Isaiah 40:31
