Join us for the fall Bible study session beginning Monday, September 8th at 7:00pm or Tuesday, September 9th at 9:15am in the Fellowship Hall* for this 11-week study of 1st Samuel.
The book of 1st Samuel introduces one of the most fascinating stories in all of Scripture, the reign of King David. As we trace the lives of several key characters, we'll explore the themes of king and kingdom, pointing us to our divine King, Jesus Christ.
Cost of the study is $25.
Building deep friendships and community are key to a healthy walk with Jesus. We want to help facilitate that community, so we are inviting all young adults ages 18-30 to an end of summer BBQ at the Morgans'. We'll swim, play lawn games, and eat dinner together. There is no cost. For more information and directions, email Jamie Lawson.
LIFE Groups
LIFE Groups are where God's family acts like family. We want each person who joins a group to discover firsthand the joy, responsibility, and growth that occurs from being in intentional community. The people in a LIFE Group are people just like you. Some groups are composed of couples, some a mixture of both singles and couples, and some a mixture of generations. LIFE Groups meet at various homes and times throughout the week.

The familiar verses of Proverbs remind us to "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths." This is our desire as a church family, so on the third Sunday of each month, we gather to seek the Lord’s direction for our church, to pray for our community, and to pray for the church around the world. We would love you to join us at 8:00 a.m. Sunday, July 20th upstairs in room 305.
Sunday Summer Camp takes place for six Sundays, from August 3rd - September 7th. SSC offers a fun change of pace from our normal Sunday rhythm. PreK – 5th grade students enjoy outside classes, while our Infants – 3s have the opportunity to learn in both the classroom and in our fenced outdoor play area.
Sometimes we ask 'What is God's will for my life?' when we should really be asking 'Who should I be?' The Bible has an answer: Be like the very image of God.
