One of our newest home groups is a class on parenting.  It meets each Tuesdayevening at 7, and lasts one hour.  If you are not currently in this class, would you consider it a ministry to help care for the children of those in this class, in the Wee Care room?  You could serve one week or several, from 6:40pm-8:20pm.  Please let Phyllis Nordstrom know of your desire to minister to these families.  There are 5 more weeks.  May God bless you!


Pray First

Saturday mornings bring a great way to start the weekend out right!  Come to the Upper Room, from 7:30am-8:30am, where a Small Group focused on prayer has begun.  Connect to the Source of Life, while connecting with each other!

Fall Semester of Small Groups has begun!

Small groups have one, simple purpose: to bring people together. We believe God created us to live in relationship with others and only then can we live the full life He intends for us.

Mark your Calendars

October is Pastor Appreciation Month.  Though Pastor John is appreciated every month, October is a reminder to express the gratitude in our hearts and honor the obedience to the call God placed on his life.
