TIME CHANGE:  The service will now be from 7-8pm. This week is our First Wednesday Service and we are trying something new.  We have three separate areas that we would like to focus on four times a year, with each focus alternating on the First Wednesday of each month.  Our first month will be focused on leadership and discipleship (this Wednesday – October); our…

The youth are collecting new or gently used Bibles  to hand out to the community.  They mostly need Spanish Bibles which cost about $3 each.  If you would like to sponsor a Bible, please talk to Sam Hix or Melody Mallinson.  The youth will also be collecting canned goods so that they can help meet the physical as well as spiritual needs of people in our community.  A box…

We’re excited about the changes, and you will hear…

A few weeks ago, Mike shared about our plans for updating our new space downstairs. Our plan is to turn this into a community room, a room that can be used throughout the week for classes, for youth meetings on Sunday nights, for offices, and for LifeGroups. Here are some of the things we need to finish this space: stackable seating for youth and lifegroups that c…
