Church School - Securus House Mission
Superintendant: Pam Johnson
Director of Christian Education:  Ava Jordan

The goals of the Church School are to religiously educate its members according to the word of God; to prepare us to live our lives according to the example of how the Lord lived His life; to prepare us to have a full understanding of what it is we believe; and  to give us the knowledge and equip us so that we may be able to go out and win souls to Christ.

Here at The Greater Solid Rock Baptist Church, we believe that Christian Education is that ministry that undergirds all of the other ministries of the church.  

Part of our advancing the Kingdom of God is through consistent Christian living by our members. We learn these principles through Bible Study and Church School. Bible Study gives us the in-depth study, but Church School provides the practical application.  

Church School is also unique because it gives us the opportunity to express our opinions and share experiences as the Bible is revealed to each individual.

Woman's Missionary Union (WMU) - Calvary Refuge Mission

President: Barbara Morris

The concept of "Christian Women" united in a cooperative spirit of commitment to the work of God was the vision of Sis. Barbara Morris and a few other women of The Greater Solid Rock Baptist Church. Organized in January, 1988, under the leadership of Sis. Lili Ingram, the Women's Auxiliary quickly became one of the most visible and active organizations in the church. Since its organization, several capable women have led the group.

The Women's Missionary Union has as its proposed objective the Promotion of Christian Education, Fellowship, Unity, and Spirituality among the women and assisting the church in its role to both the congregation and community.

In 1997, Minister John W Waters issued a directive to rename the Women's Auxiliary to the Women's Missionary Union. Rev. Zenovia Stafford served as the local church leader. The ministry consisted of all age groups for all women and girls of the church.

Many phases of mission work have been provided by the ministry. Over the past years, the WMU ministry has provided nursery care during each Sunday Worship Celebration. The ministry has begun organizing a girls mentoring group. Volunteers are in training to serve both the church and the community. There are several ways women and girls of The Greater Solid Rock Baptist Church can be of service to the church and community. We encourage all women to get involved.
