Ministries

Every Member Involved. Every Ministry with Purpose.

Ministries at Woodland Hills

At Woodland Hills Church of Christ, ministry is more than a program – it’s how we live out our faith together. Under the oversight of our elders, each of our ministries is designed to equip, encourage, and serve, both within our congregation and in the community around us. Whether you’re a new member looking to get involved or a visitor curious about who we are, we invite you to explore the many ways we’re working together for the glory of God.
