Church Family,

In response to the COVID 19 pandemic and with sensitivity to our at risk members, we will be deviating from our normal services this Sunday, April 12. Instead, we will be utilizing our online capabilities and live-streaming our worship service at 10AM. You will be able to view the 10 o’clock service from our website and Facebook page. After the service, staff members will be available at the church from 11 to Noon to talk and pray with anyone who feels led to respond. During that 11 o’clock hour, you may come by the church in person for prayer, call the office, or even drive through the back parking lot where a staff member will be waiting.

You are loved and our fellowship is missed. However, we as a church will stand strong, worship collectively, and be a light in our communities because Jesus Christ is Lord. Our confidence, hope, and security powered by His love gives us the responsibility and privilege to not only endure this season but to grow in our faith and to grow our family. Stay in touch with one another, encourage, creatively serve our community, and love your neighbor.

You are loved!

I need to be closer to God. Please pray that God will draw me to Himself through Jesus Christ. I also struggle a lot with being single. Please pray that Jesus Christ would help me meet the lady He wants me to marry. Thank you so much and God bless you.

MINISTRIES

Where can you connect?

WORSHIP

Worship is our response to God’s initiative. It is His idea and it is all about Him. Worship services are planned scripturally to reflect what God is saying to us as a church and to give voice to the heart’s desire of His people to praise Him. We respond to Him corporately in different ways but always consistent with His Word. From contemporary, to more traditional, to blended services, we want to worship in spirit and in truth.

youthicon

STUDENTS

Students are energetic, creative, passionate, and just plain fun to be around. Our goal in student ministry is simply to help students take those positive traits and use them for the kingdom of God. Our students are involved in Bible studies designed to challenge faith to flourish and inspire Christ-likeness. We also have different avenues of ministry opportunities throughout the year for students to share the hope of the gospel. In addition we offer numerous opportunities designed to promote Christian fellowship and spiritual growth.

CHILDREN

Our desire is to provide support and encouragement to parents while providing programs and activities that lay a strong spiritual foundation for children from birth to 6th grade. On-going preschool activities include Sunday School, Mission Friends, choir, Mother’s Day Out, Weekday Early Education, and nursery care during worship. Older children enjoy Sunday School, Discipletown (kids church), RA’s, GA’s, and choir.  Throughout the summer, kids can also enjoy VBS, Music Camp, Art Camp, Centrikid Camp, & other “Fun in the Son” activities.
