ABOUT US
Greetings
Our Vision
Where is God leading us? What is our vision? We are called to go on God s Grand Adventure: Go out and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28). Make a joyful noise and celebrate God s presence in the world. Glorify God and enjoy him forever. Discover our gifts and talents as unique and valuable in ministry. Love God and our neighbors with all our heart, mind, and soul. Educate and equip people in Jesus teachings to grow and serve. Share the good news of Jesus love. The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few (Luke 10). Take care of God’s creation and environment as good stewards. Be generous givers: to share our gifts and financial resources. Dedicate ourselves as partners of shalom (peace and well-being). Free the oppressed; heal the sick, and correct injustice.

Membership is for those who seek to belong, to be encouraged by other believers in Jesus Christ, and to find ways to develop your gifts for ministry. Joining a church is the right step for a person who has made the decision to follow Jesus as Savior and Lord. Christians are designed by God to need to belong to a community of believers for encouragement and growth in their life of faith. A new member class will be scheduled soon.

Women’s BIble Study
New Bible Study for Women Starts September 6th! The Tabernacle of the Heart, a study by Beth Moore “Have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them.” Exodus 25:8 NIV Tuesdays, 10:30 a.m.—12:00 p.m. This new bible study meets at the home of Elizabeth Hughes. Study Guides are suggested but not required. Let Elizabeth or Courtney know if interested. Start date is Tuesday after Labor Day, September 6th. Description: Perhaps no Old Testament event so dramatically illustrates God’s persistant desire to relate to His children as the building of the tabernacle in the wilderness. Through the tabernacle God initiated a deeper relationship with His Chosen People by bringing reconciliation and revealing His glory. And certainly, no Old Testament even so richly prefigures the coming of the true Tabernacle, Jesus Christ. Beth Moore invites you to enter the sanctuary of your God and let Him reveal marvelous mysteries to you. This in-depth, biblical study explores the fascinating account of the building of the tabernacle, the significance of its intricate design, its pivotal role in God’s eternal plan, the grand fulfillment of its purpose by Jesus Christ, and its variety of meanings for your walk with God…
Adult Bible Study
Men’s Bible Study Wednesdays, 7:30—9:00 p.m. The Men’s Bible study meets at Bob Wegner’s home on Wednesday evenings. All men are welcome! Please contact Bob Wegner for more information.
