OUR
MINISTRIES
Welcome to State Road Advent Christian Church's ministries, where we are dedicated to serving our community and sharing our beliefs. Our ministries are designed to provide support, guidance, and a sense of belonging to all members of our congregation. Through our various programs, we aim to strengthen faith, foster connections, and make a positive impact on the lives of individuals and families.
Student Ministries
State Road Student Ministry desires to see the lives of students changed by the gospel of Jesus Christ.
We believe that God has designed each individual and desires for them to know their Creator and Savior. At State Road you will find people who love God and each other as we seek to grow in our understanding of God, His word, and His leading in our lives.
For more information about our ministries to students please
see the details below or contact Pastor Timothy Tarr

Varsity
Ministry to students in grades 8-12. This group currently meets weekly on Sunday nights from 6:30-8:30pm in the Family Life Center.
Outreach and Mission
Outreach is profoundly central in the life of the Christian Church. Congregations that only look inward – toward meeting the comfort needs of her members – will eventually die. If the church appears ineffective and lost, it’s probably because they have forgotten the “great commission” left to His followers by Jesus.
How else will lost people know about the grace and truth of Christ unless His followers share the good news?
Some outreach activities here at State Road:
-
Operation Christmas Child
-
Operation Christmas Child – Central Drop-Off Location for Aroostook County
-
Prison Fellowship’s “Angel Tree”
-
Christmas Food Baskets for “Angel Tree” and “Mapleton Elementary”
-
Twice monthly meals at Martha and Mary’s

Partnership with Camp NOMACCA
Sunday School
Sunday school is a ministry to all ages in our church with the following purpose: to teach the whole counsel of God, and to grow in our knowledge and understanding of Him, so that we may become more like Christ. There are age appropriate classes for kids, youth and adults.
​
Sundays from 11-12PM, following a coffee fellowship after the morning service.
Classes meet to allow students to go deeper in their Christian learning and growth. We encourage family and Kingdom focus during the months of June, July and August by taking a break from the classroom.

Partnerships are vital within the Kingdom of God.
​
State Road values relationships with many organizations that seek to glorify God or bless needy people. In recent years, we have taken steps to move out of the church and into our surrounding communities with God’s truth and grace. We consider it a privilege to represent Jesus in our culture.
