In the Gospel of John we are going to go in-depth and look at the single most amazing human (God-man) to ever walk the face of this earth, Jesus Christ. Throughout this study in John we are going to be encouraged, shocked, convicted, and left with a deep sense of awe in regards to Jesus of Nazareth. The deepest yearnings of our soul will only be satisfied by the truths that we find in this book. Invite your family, friends, colleagues and join us as we gaze intently at the One who created the world and yet loved us enough to die for us.
Sunday Worship Services at 9:00am & 11:00am
Nursery care for children 0-2 is available all morning. Children’s Church is offered during the 11:00 service for kids age 3-5.
Sunday School for all ages | 10:15-11:00am
“Your words were found, and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart… ”
Last Spring Pastor Michael led us through a study in our adult Sunday school class about the dangers of Progressive Christianity. It was disturbing, to say the least, yet served as a wakeup call for the church to remain vigilant and faithful to the Word of God. All around us we witness what happens when a person or society abandons the authority of the scriptures and replaces it with a postmodern, “anything goes” spirituality. I’m convinced more than ever that we need to become a people of the Book, God’s inspired, infallible book, the Bible!
Join us each Sunday this fall as we gather to learn:
What it means when we say that the Bible is inspired and inerrant.
How people preserved the text of the Bible over the centuries. Can the process be trusted?
What is the canon of scripture and why some books were chosen and others rejected?
What about the Apocrypha and the Dead Sea Scrolls?
We’ll get to know some of the “Church Fathers” and other key figures in church history and the role they played in helping us have the Bible in our own English language.
Most importantly we will learn how to truly study, or as Jeremiah says, how to eat your Bible!
We’ll be taking a break from “How to Eat Your Bible” for one week to hear about the Israel trip…
Connection Cards
We have Connection Cards available on the backs of the chairs in the sanctuary. Guests can fill them out and take them to the Info Center for a free gift. Anyone can use them to submit prayer requests, request more information about ministries, update personal contact information, ask a question, or give feedback. Cards can be dropped into the offering boxes at the entrances to the sanctuary.

Opportunity to serve our Youth…
Each Wednesday we end our youth group evening with a snack and time to hang out together after their small group time. People from our New Life family have been providing snack for us - either homemade or picked up at a store. The students really enjoy this time! If you would like to bring a snack you can sign up using the button below (the sign up is near the bottom of the page), or call the church office (886-1977) and we can help you get signed up.
