  • Our Young Adults ministry (ages 18–35) is a place to grow in faith, connect with others navigating this season of life, and be real about the ups and downs along the way. We dig into God's Word together, prioritize emotional and mental wellness, and build genuine accountability so no one has to figure it out alone. From game nights to retreats and community outings, we make space for fun and friendship, not just Bible study. Whether you're new to faith or have walked with Jesus for years, there's a place for you here.

  • Our women's ministry exists to connect women of all ages and cultural backgrounds through authentic community, meaningful relationships, biblical teaching, and prayer. We create spaces—big and small—where women can be real about their struggles, celebrate God's faithfulness, and grow as disciples of Jesus. Together, we support one another through life's seasons and encourage each woman to use her gifts to serve our church and community. We meet two Fridays each month

  • We're a group of guys committed to growing together in faith and friendship. At the heart of what we do is solid Bible teaching — digging into God's Word and applying it to real life. It's also meant to be fun. Whether we're grabbing breakfast at Dudes in the Diner, our casual weekly gathering for coffee, conversation, and a little accountability, or heading out on outings together, we're building brotherhood one shared moment at a time.

  • ItemAt Mending Hearts, we believe that every stitch carries love.

The schedule is flexible, with options to attend virtually on Thursdays or in-person on Saturdays or Sundays. This group is a great fit for any woman looking to grow in emotional health and deepen her spiritual and personal well-being. 

  • Our contemplative group offers a quiet space for prayer, reflection, and spiritual practice within a supportive community. We gather regularly to explore practices such as centering prayer, silence, guided meditation, or lectio divina, drawing on the wisdom of the Christian contemplative tradition. Rather than discussion or study alone, our focus is on deepening our relationship with God through stillness and presence. All are welcome, whether you're new to contemplative practice or have been on this path for years.

  • Join us every Sunday at 9:30 a.m. in the café as we gather for teaching and fellowship before worship. Together we're working through different books of the Bible, digging deep into God's Word to understand its truth and how it applies to our everyday lives. Whether you're new to studying Scripture or have walked with the Lord for years, there's a place for you at the table.

  • Join us every week as we serve a hot meal to our neighbors in need and share the hope of the gospel. This ministry is a tangible expression of Christ's love — feeding the hungry, building relationships, and pointing people to Jesus.

  • Teen Sunday School is a place where kids can engage with the Word through fellowship and a solid foundation in Scripture, presented in a way that's relatable to their everyday lives. Our goal is to help young people move beyond simply knowing about faith to taking ownership of it for themselves. Sunday School connects students directly to the challenges and questions they're facing right now — friendships, identity, pressure, and purpose — through the lens of God's Word.

  • Friday Night teen ministry is where middle and high schoolers (ages 12–17) come together for a night of fun, friendship, and faith. We kick things off with games and hangout time, then dive into Bible study that's relevant to real life—covering what teens are actually facing day to day. It's a judgment-free zone to ask questions, build real friendships, and grow closer to God alongside other teens on the same journey. Whether you're new or a regular, Friday nights are always high energy and full of life.

  • GriefShare is a faith-based support group that helps people work through the pain of losing a loved one (mother, father, sibling, etc.), combining a weekly video seminar with small-group discussion in a caring, confidential setting. Sessions walk through the common stages of grief—from shock and loneliness to healing and hope—so no one has to go through it alone. It's open to anyone grieving a death, at any point in their journey, and many people find it helpful to attend more than once. 

     There is a one time cost of $25. which includes a participant guide with valuable exercises, journaling, tools, and articles for dealing with the daily challenges of grief.

  • Our children's ministry (ages 6–11) is where kids grow in faith through worship, hands-on Bible study, and creative crafts, all in a fun and welcoming space. Every week, they build real friendships with other kids their age while learning how God's Word applies to their everyday lives. It's a place where children can be themselves, ask questions, and discover just how much they're loved by God and their church family.

  • Our nursery ministry offers a warm, safe, and loving environment for infants and toddlers while parents enjoy service. Staffed by caring, background-checked volunteers, we make sure every little one is well cared for, comfortable, and having fun during their time with us. We believe even our youngest members are part of the church family, and we're honored to help lay that first foundation of faith and love.

  • The Missions Department of Fordham Manor Church exists to see the gospel of Jesus Christ spread locally and abroad. We seek to mobilize, equip, and support our congregation in the work of missions — praying for and partnering with missionaries and ministries near our own community and among unreached peoples around the world — so that Christ may be known and glorified among all nation

  • Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered recovery program that helps people work through life's hurts and habits in a safe, confidential, and supportive community. Rooted in biblical principles and a 12-step framework, it offers a path toward healing, freedom, and lasting change through Jesus Christ. No matter what you're struggling with, you don't have to face it alone—there's a place for you here.
