The Next Step Gifted Center (NSGC) is a CMI ministry that strives to serve the wholistic needs of girls (junior high) through young adulthood through mentorship, activities and annual retreats. With a focus on the benefits of a Christ-centered life, they are helped to identify, address, and build skills that promote the development of healthy minds, bodies and spirits.
We also encourage community service and participate in several volunteer opportunities including collecting and contributing much needed supplies to a homeless shelter for women and children in Gary, IN.
Our CMI Culinary Ministry is staffed by those who enjoy the creative art of cooking and have a passion to serve.
From setting a welcoming table to preparing and serving a variety of flavorful dishes, this talented team may be seen serving during our 4th Sunday Fellowship and other events; gladly sharing their gifts as they minister to the body and soul.
CMI Ushers and Greeters are typically the first faces you see at CMI. Gifted with the desire to help, they assist both members and guests as needed in practical ways.
Whether seating our guests, giving
directions, or assisting with childcare; their multifaceted role is essential in promoting and maintaining an atmosphere of worship.
A little extra support is often needed when there is loss or when overwhelming life challenges arise. Our Benevolence Ministry aims to provide comfort, hope and encouragement to the body of Christ in their time of need.

We strive to give God our best and are committed to using our gifts for His glory with a spirit of unity and excellence.
