MINISTRIES
WORSHIP
In addition to 10:00 a.m. Sunday worship services (childcare available), Skidaway Community Church celebrates seasons in the annual Christian calendar and traditional family events including Baptisms, Weddings, Memorials/Funerals and Interments in the Memory Garden/Columbarium.
FLOWERING OF THE CROSS
As a caring church family, we encourage participation in the life of SCC in ways that are meaningful to each and comfortably fit into various life stages.
- Some opportunities are frequent, like ushering, communion preparation, technical support for live streaming services/events, and the Ashira Singing Group;
- Some are singular, like assisting with outdoor Easter Sunrise Services at Delegal Harbor, the colorful Kirkin’ of the Tartans honoring our Scottish heritage and early Sunday evening outdoor Prayer and Praise services;
- Others offer on-going dedicated training as preparation for one-on-one outreach to those needing comfort and support through life’s difficult challenges.

LEARNING
Formal and informal learning opportunities populate Skidaway Community Church’s year-round calendar. In addition to Mens/Womens Bible Studies, SCC offers a Fall program and Lenten series.
The mission of the Skidaway Community Preschool is to provide early childhood learning in a Christian environment.
- Each child feels secure
- Each child is provided with a foundation needed to build a healthy self-concept
- Each child is taught to learn, grow and excel in the world around them
Serving families since 1986, our classes are conducted in a warm environment that fosters learning and creative expression. In our program your child will learn through play and exploration with an extensive variety of early childhood toys and materials. This gives the children the hands on experience they will need to expand their minds and develop their motor skills.
The children are involved in activities that help develop in emotional, intellectual, spiritual, physical and social growth. Classroom tasks are child-centered, hands on activities as well as teacher-led school readiness curriculum. The children have plenty of time to explore classroom centers at their own pace. The children also spend time in group situations at circle time, story time, singing, science experiments, and cooking.
Preschool classes are offered for two, three or five days per week to children ages two through four by September 1 of the school year. The preschool hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Our Mother’s Morning Out program is designed for our walking one year old children.
Small class sizes and teacher/student ratio help to provide a loving and nurturing environment. Our teachers get to know our students and their families. Even the most reluctant children tend to feel at ease quickly.
You are welcome to come by and visit our preschool. For more information, please call our Director, Amie Nixon, at 598-0151 x 1106.

SCOUTS
Since 1989 when SCC chartered Boy Scout Troop #57, scouting has been integral to our youth programming. In addition to dedicating meeting and activity spaces, members have led and guided literally hundreds of Island youth to develop skills and values based on ‘service to others’. Over these years, Troop #57 has produced a record-setting seventy-six Eagle Scouts and consistently been recognized as one of the best troops in the 10-county Coastal Empire Council.
More recently, when Girl Scouts organized Island Brownie Troop #30206, SCC again extended its meeting and activities spaces.
