D.A.R.T
Disaster Assistance Response Team
The DART team was formed in 2009 to assist with local and national disasters. Several of the members trained with FEMA as second responders. Since the beginning, we’ve had a core group of team leaders and many, many volunteers.
The trailer you see in our parking lot is equipped to respond to an emergency at a moment's notice. We have worked with Mason’s CERT (Citizens Emergency Response Team) to assist with emergency drills and trained in CPR and as weather spotters.
We spent two days at Woodland Lakes Christian Camp and Retreat Center tearing out the wooden benches by the lake and replacing them with new ones. Our team has traveled south twice to help with the Katrina disaster by repairing houses and building storage sheds. We went to Oklahoma when the tornado hit there in 2013. We also spent over a week in Moscow, Felicity, and Hamersville, Ohio after the tornado of 2012. We handed out sandwiches and water, cut fallen trees, and picked up brush. We tore down a damaged garage and helped replace a roof on a house.
There are many things we are equipped to do but the most important is allowing us the opportunity to share the love of Jesus with people who are hurting. This is a great outreach for Loveland Christian Church not only to help in a physical way but also to show our love for our neighbors whether close to home or in places like LA and OK.
The Worship Team
Here at LCC our congregation is comprised of a mixture of different people from all different kinds of backgrounds. Therefore, it is our desire to be a church that creates an atmosphere of worship for as many people as possible. While we strive to learn new things, we also respect and honor the traditions of the past, which is how we view our approach to worship music.
We have developed an eclectic grouping of volunteers to come together and form our worship teams for Sunday morning services and other events with the goal of continually adapting to new songs and styles while also reaching back into the vast well music and hymns that have drawn people closer to God for many generations.
We will do our best to mix it up because we believe that God is wanting to meet with His people in more ways than we can even begin to comprehend, so always come with an open heart to worship God no matter the song and no matter the style because He is always faithful and available to us.
Connections Team
The Connections Team believes that God brings people to LCC for a reason and that it is not by accident. We have a group of people that are prepared for your visit today.
When our guests arrive at LCC they are welcomed by one of our Connections Team members who are intentional about making sure your visit is as welcoming and informative as possible.
We are always welcoming new members to the team.
50 FORWARD
50 FORWARD is an active events driven community for both men and women 50 years of age and older. Our regular monthly event takes place on the 2nd Thursday of each month and will vary in starting and ending times based on our destinations.

Please watch the EVENTS PAGE for dates, times, and specifics.
50 FORWARD also exists to support the mission and vision of LCC in any way we possibly can. We contribute to the needs of the church through special projects, benevolent and missionary support.
50 FORWARD is NOT a sit around and discuss the “good ole’ days” type of community. We are actively using our gifts, talents, passions, and availability for the mission of Christ and His church. If you are 50 years of age and older, please join us sometime soon!

Children's Ministry
Birth - 8th grade
Here at Loveland Christian Church we value all children and know that there is no minimum age to learn who Jesus is, know how much He loves us, or to know His Word.
1 Timothy 4:12 Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.
Each week we love to share God’s Word along with having fun events throughout the year. We have our themed overnighter in February, Family Easter Celebration, VBS and camps throughout Summer.

Missions Team
The Loveland Christian Church Missions Team exists to extend the church’s role in fulfilling the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) by supporting Christian missionaries or agencies to evangelize lost souls and to teach Christian maturity.
Below is a list of some of the missions LCC supports.
The Tech Team
Our LCC Tech Team cares about your experience at church and who believes that there should be as few distractions during a church service or event as possible so that you can have an unaltered opportunity to meet with God in the midst of any moment.
Our tech team works with the soundboards and audio equipment on our campus, making sure everything works properly for worship music, videos, and microphones that are used to deliver God's Word each week. They are also trained in operating our projectors and presentation software in order to give you the best visual experience possible.
While we realize that nothing goes perfect 100% of the time, we still strive for a level of excellence in all that we do because we serve an excellent God and we care about stepping into every moment with our best foot forward!

Take home papers are given out each week to allow our families to reinforce the lesson of that day and to encourage our families to study the Bible together throughout the week.
Small Groups
11:00 service / K - 8th grade classes
Elementary school small groups are broken down into three age-appropriate classes during our first service:
K-2nd grade class focuses on sequencing events of the Bible and learning how to find scripture along with knowing who Jesus is and how much He loves us.
3-5th grade class helps them to grasp why it’s important to have a relationship with God by reading and studying His Word.
Middle School small group (6th-8th grade) focuses on knowing the Bible is God’s Word and accept its absolute truth.
We encourage parents to reinforce the lesson with the take-home papers that are supplied each week. Our team is available to help them in any way that we can with materials and/or time to help them study the Bible with their children.
