Coffee Shop Reopens October 18

We are so excited to have our coffee shop back and open! Of course with some new processes and precautions due to COVID-19, but come early and grab a cup of joe this Sunday.

Coffee will be available just prior to the 8:30am service, in between services, and prior to the 11am service.

We love this ministry, but are in need of more volunteers. If you are passionate about hospitality, coffee, service or any of the above, consider joining the coffee shop staff.  Express interest using the form below.

    Journey Students Attend Dare 2 Share

    Saturday, a group of students from our Journey youth attended the Dare 2 Share conference. Dare 2 Share has become the go-to teen evangelism training resource for youth leaders in the United States. It is a one-day evangelism training event that equips teenagers to start a gospel revolution in their own communities.

    At LIVE, thousands of students are trained to pray, serve others, and share their faith—all at the exact same time. Inspired and trained in the morning, attendees then go out and serve their local communities, sharing the gospel with their neighbors and participating in a simultaneous, nationwide gospel movement.

    God is moving among the heart of the young. We are excited to see the continued work He is doing in the lives of our middle school and high school Journey students.

        How to Join

        Elder and Deacon Nominations

        Call for Nominations

        Each year we nominate individuals of our congregation for positions of leadership. We believe that leaders are called to serve and our members are a key part of the discernment process in determining who that will be.

        Please nominate any member, 21 years of age or older, whom you feel is gifted to provide leadership as an Elder or Deacon. Elders and Deacons provide for the spiritual care and oversight of the congregation and serve together with the pastors on the Consistory, the governing board of our congregation.

        Please send your nominations by Sunday, October 11 using the form below:

          Women in the Word – New Study begins Oct. 1

          It’s All Under Control

          A new Women in the Word Bible Study, begins October 1, meeting on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays each month from 6:30-8 PM in the teal classroom (314A/B).

          Embark on a 6-week journey with the theme “It’s All Under Control.” Let go of the things you can’t control, find the strength to hang on tighter to those you can, and finally learn how to tell the difference. Use scriptural truths to guide you in living a life of surrender to God.

          Workbooks will be provided. Childcare is not provided for this study.

          Please let us know if you are attending using the form below.

          With the installation of the new sound and video system comes a bigger demand for Worship Tech Team volunteers.  Do you have an ear for music? Do you like all things computer? Would you describe yourself as the family tech-guru? Do you have a heart for volunteering? Or maybe you have a background in video/lighting? Maybe you were a part of the tech crew in high school drama team?

          If any of these things describe, the Worship Tech Team might be something you would enjoy.

          Once the new sound system is installed, we’ll be scheduling official training sessions for all current tech team members and those who express an interest in tech team. The beautiful thing being – we’ll all be learning a new system together.

          If interested or if you just want more information, contact Scott using the form below.
