DEAD TO SIN
ALIVE TO CHRIST
Baptism is the outward sign of an inward change, a heart that has been made alive by the power of God. Baptisms please God, encourage the church, and proclaim the gospel to those who don't yet trust in Christ.
We are preparing to celebrate baptisms during an upcoming Sunday service and, if you are interested, we would love to explain more and help you decide if now is the right time for you.
IF YOU’RE A CHRISTIAN, DON’T WAIT

*This Sunday we begin studying John 17 and the “High Priestly Prayer.”
John 16:16-33
We gather every Sunday to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ proclaimed. God's Word is preached and the Holy Spirit transforms our hearts. We expect to encounter God and be equipped to better serve him each week.
Thanks to all who missed the sermon because you were serving during the service. We are grateful for you and couldn't have done it without you. Enjoy listening to the recording.
We have been working on a number of adjustments to our small group ministry. It’s been 9 months since we asked you to pray and provide feedback! Thank you for all your help and thanks be to God for the vibrant church life our groups represent. Here comes the first of a few changes.
Respectable Sins
Beginning this month, all of our groups will begin discussing Respectable Sins by Jerry Bridges. Your small group leaders already have copies of the book. You don’t need to purchase anything. And there is no homework. We will read the book together and use the discussion guide provided by the publisher. We plan to introduce our next curriculum in September.
No cost.
No homework.
Leave your copy with your leader.
May our meetings be filled with discussions that lead to growth and holiness for the glory of God.
John 16:5-15
We gather every Sunday to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ proclaimed. God's Word is preached and the Holy Spirit transforms our hearts. We expect to encounter God and be equipped to better serve him each week.
Thanks to all who missed the sermon because you were serving during the service. We are grateful for you and couldn't have done it without you. Enjoy listening to the recording.
We thank God for our leaders and their wives.
Our small group leaders begin meeting bi-monthly this Thursday night. Pray for the Lord to give them the wisdom, resources, and gifting to lead us all into richer times of fellowship and discipleship and care.
They are working together on a number of changes, including additional groups and new curriculum. We will keep you update!
We welcomed new church members during our service this past Sunday. This is always a special moment for us, as we celebrate the gift of new partners in life and ministry. If you are wondering if our church should be your home church, check out the process.

Your commitment to Christ, to this church, to one another, and to ordinary everyday faithfulness and means of grace, has been nothing short of infectious, a tremendous source of encouragement and motivation to strive to do the same. - Will K.
