Wednesday Night Bible Study

This year, we will have Men's and Couple's small groups that will study the book of Hebrews and James. In Hebrews, as it is easy for us to do, the first century Jewish Christians were drifting back to their customs and traditions. They were losing sights of the Gospel and the face that faith in Jesus is all that will save us. But, what does this faith look like, and how does it work? James teaches that it appears in our works. These works will not save us, but while it is possible to have works without faith, it is impossible to have faith without works. Does your faith work?

We will also be offering a Woman's study by Beth Moore titled "Breaking Free: Discover the Victory of Total Surrender". This series studies select passages from the book of Isaiah, drawing several parallels between the captive Israelites and today's Christians, in order to show how to make freedom in Christ a daily reality. Moore teaches readers to remove obstacles that hinder freedom by identifying spiritual strongholds in their lives and overcoming them through the truth of God's Word-truth that will set us free.

Wednesday night Bible study begins on September 9, 2015 at 7pm. We hope you will join us. The youth and adults will be combined for small group Bible study again this year. Children's Worship and Praise God Story Hour will be available for children age 2 through those in 5th grade.

Everest VBS

At Everest, we learned of the infinite power of God, while playing games, making crafts, watching skits, and so much more. Check out this video and picture gallery of this past weeks activities.


Movie Night

Movie Description

Slick, big-city sports agent Rob Decker has it all. But on his latest mission to sign a high school baseball superstar, Rob becomes stranded in a small town where the simplicity of life—and the faith of the people—stands in stark contrast to his own fast-paced, win-at-all-costs mindset. Torn between these two worlds, will Rob have the courage to let faith transform his life? Sometimes the next big thing isn't what you expect.

Starring Ryan Scharoun and Ashley Anderson McCarthy, RING THE BELL features Christian music artists Casting Crowns, Steven Curtis Chapman, and Matthew West, along with baseball legends Rick Sutcliffe, John Kruk, and Ben Zobrist. This heartwarming story of redemption will entertain and inspire the whole family.
