USHERS / GREETERS
There is an adage which says, you never get a second chance to make a good first impression. At the Catlettsburg Harvest Church of God, we’ve grown accustomed to being greeted by the smiling faces and warm welcome given to us by our greeters and ushers. Sister JoAnn Rakes coordinates this ministry. Anyone who has visited or become part of our church family no doubt has remembered this ministry. Members are JoAnn & Duck Rakes, Louis Heaberlin, and Tony Smith.

PRAYER MINISTRY
Sister Virginia Griffith leads a prayer service on Friday evenings at our church called “Fighting On Our Knees”. The service features participation by members of the pastoral staff and singers who share scripture, speak words of hope and encouragement and pray over prayer requests. Each prayer service can be attended at the church or viewed live on the Facebook page. Prayer requests are accepted during the service on Facebook Messenger. Members are Andrew Hall, Melissa Colyer, Ginny Griffith, Rev. Roger Wireman, and Tim Griffith.
SECURITY TEAM
Team members Paul Dennison, Dean Akers, and Tony Smith do a wonderful job of keeping us safe as we worship. They keep the parking lot secure during services and events and also keep watch throughout the church during services and events.
WOMENS MINISTRY
The mission of the Harvest Sisters Women’s Ministry is to walk in peace, purpose and power with a vision to win the harvest. Harvest Sisters want to help women walk in the peace Jesus offers, the purpose He created them for and the power He gives to win the harvest. The Women's Ministry is lead by Rev. Tabitha Raines.
CAMERA
Tom and Chris Napier are instrumental in ensuring that our services are broadcast live and are available for viewing to our online audience. Each week they ensure that the service is carried live from the sanctuary via our Facebook page. This enables anyone not able to attend in-person the opportunity to enjoy the praise & worship and preaching. We praise the Lord for this outreach!
GRIEFSHARE
GriefShare is a Christ-centered program that helps people apply biblical principles as they deal with the emotions and life stresses following the death of a loved one. With GriefShare, we provide a deep level of care through a support group to grieving people. GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief during a 13-week journey together. You’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way. Pastor Todd Slayton is assisted by his wife, Teri Slayton, and their daughter, Pastor Tabitha Raines.
MESSY GRACE
Messy Grace shows us that Jesus’s command to “love your neighbor as yourself” doesn’t have an exception clause for a gay “neighbor”— or for that matter, any other “neighbor” we might find it hard to relate to. Jesus was able to love these people and yet still hold on to his beliefs. So can you. Even when it’s messy. Messy Grace is a ministry that offers Christian support for family and friends as they go through this journey. You are not alone! We can come together and love as Christ loves as we live in truth and grace. Messy Grace is lead by Sister Sue Hornsby.
AUDIO/VIDEO
Brother Tim Griffith and Brother Bill Banfield oversee all facets of the church’s audio/visual systems in the sanctuary. Because of their hard work, our services may be seen and heard live in person or via Facebook.
BUS MINISTRY
Clark & April Scaggs have faithfully led this ministry to our local communities for a number of years. The Bus Ministry provides transportation to and from services for anyone who needs a ride. This ministry is geared toward fulfilling the command of Christ to bring in the harvest.
COMPASSIONATE CARE
One of the most compassionate ways to minister to a family who has lost a loved one is to prepare and serve them a meal. This is a specialized ministry of Sister Susie Willis, who reaches out to families both inside and outside the church during times of loss. Her unique talents and skills share the love of Christ with grieving families and embodies our church’s heart of ministry. Additionally, Susie oversees many fundraising efforts and special dinners.
LIGHTHOUSE HOMELESS
MINISTRY
Lighthouse Ministry is an outreach of the Catlettsburg Harvest Church of God which provides meals to the Salvation Army weekly. Many of the homeless people in our area frequent the Salvation Army to obtain food, shelter and other necessities. Sister Melissa Colyer coordinates this ministry which helps to fulfill the teachings of Christ to feed the hungry.
