Communion Sunday

This practice was given by Jesus to all His followers in every culture and time period to "reconnect" them in an ongoing way to His death on the cross and resurrection. All who aspire to place the trust of their life in Jesus Christ are welcome to receive and participate in this morning's communion, regardless of your church membership or denominational affiliation.

Children's Ministry
Gospel Project App
Parents are key to creating spiritual foundations in their kids. The Gospel Project for Kids Family App enables parents to reinforce each week's lesson at home. Each quarter, the app provides a Unit introduction and a five-day calendar filled with simple review activities and links to view the Bible story video and listen to the Key Passage song. If a child is absent, parents can use the app with their kids at home so they wont' miss a thing!

Thanks to all those who helped make the meal with New Generation a success.  Thanks especially to Dean Northcutt for capturing some great images from the event.  We're excited for this new opportunity to serve those in our community.  Now that we've done it once, we're learning how to best serve this need in our community and we thank you for your patience.
