Adult Ministries

Adult Journey Class: Book of Daniel - Sundays, 10:45 a.m., Fireside Room
Join us each Sunday as we study the Book of Daniel. In this 12-week series, we will focus on both portions of Daniel, its narrative section with fascinating and suspenseful stories and the prophetic section with the wide scope through the ages. Daniel contains the most referenced Old Testament prophecies in the New Testament. This will be an exciting study.
  

Iron Men: One Big Story - Saturdays, 7-8:30 a.m., MPR 

Join us as we reflect on the "Big Story" from the Men's perspective and how this story impacts us directly. How did the Creation, the Fall, God's Promise to Abraham, Israelites Grumble and finally, God's Redemption plan impact us as men, husbands, fathers, and friends. This series will continue until August 17. For more information e-mail R.A.

Youth and Children Ministries

Wonderland (Birth - Kindergarten) - Sundays, 9:15 & 10:45 a.m. 

These years are filled with a sense of newness and wonder.  Each day is filled with one new discovery after another.  We want to give little ones their first impression of their heavenly Father and the wonder of His love for each of them.  

   

WORDS that ECHO - Sundays,  9:15 a.m.
We are excited that everyone, preschool through adults are learning more about the Bible through 'One Big Story'. We are also systematically learning the themes of all the Old Testament books. "WORDS that ECHO' is our High School through 2nd grade environment where we will be engaged in the same large group while participating in age-related small groups. ECHO will not be in session during the 10:45 a.m. service from June 16 - September 1. Parents are encouraged to bring their child to the 9:15 am service.
  

Summer JAM and 1:20 - Wednesdays, 7 p.m.
