The guys will be traveling to Mineral Bluff, GA on October 7-10, in order to get away and discover the Path that GOD has for young men. In this life, there are two "paths" in which we can travel: a path that leads to death and a path that leads to life. The guys will be learning about the path that leads to true life. The weekend will be filled with growing deeper relationships, great food, hiking and paintball!
The girls will be traveling to Spencer, Tennessee on October 7th -10th, in order to get away and learn the characteristics of how to be women in Christ. The theme is "Unveiled" and it speaks to becoming the Bride of Christ by putting off your old self and purifying your mind and heart for Christ.
The cost is $115.00, and that includes food, lodging, a retreat t-shirt, and hiking activity.
Worship Ministry
If you are interested in leading in our worship ministries, please contact Pastor Cary for an interview. He would like to hear about your personal worship, your relationship with God, and about how God is leading your heart.
Girls Night Out
Our Student Girls (grades 6-12) are invited to Deanna's house on October 15th from 6 - 10 pm for Dinner and a Movie. This will be a fun time to come together and build deeper relationships over awesome food and a great movie.
Students are sked to bring either a side item, a dessert or a drink. Also, bring either a blanket or lawn chair for the outdoor activities.
Discipleship University
Do you desire to grow in your walk with Christ? Each year we select discipleship studies that speak to the life of a disciple. This fall - August 14th through November 6th - we have two studies.
Lies Men Believe and the Truth That Sets Them Free
Like a seasoned angler, our enemy opens his tackle box and selects the lure most likely to attract his intended prey—usually the one you and I are least likely to consider harmful. Each lie we bite on causes us to feel pain, lose or injure relationships, and miss out on the abundant life that God wants us to have. Lies Men Believe exposes the lies that men most commonly believe, and shows you how to combat those lies with the truth.
Lies Women Believe and the Truth That Sets Them Free
This study spotlights forty-five lies commonly believed by Christian women—lies about God, themselves, priorities, emotions, marriage, parenting, and more. And it offers the only means to challenge, counter, and overcome deception—the Truth.
Mom Monday is October 14th at 10:30 am.
October is about "Locking Arms" and we will learn the importance of mentors and connecting with moms that have already been where we are. There will be friendship bread and craft to go along with it.
MOM Monday is our ministry to moms of all ages. We gather with other moms and find encouragement, acceptance, and we will even learn new skills at the same time. So come, relax and enjoy a light breakfast. If you have preschoolers, bring them too! Your children will be loved on and will learn skills that go right along with what the moms are learning.
An RSVP is not necessary, but you can
Reality: The Journey From Bondage to Blessing
Beginning June 9th, we will start a new series entitled, "Reality: The Journey From Bondage to Blessing."
This in depth look at the book of Numbers will help us to understand the story of GOD's people as
they moved from bondage in Egypt to the blessings promised them long before.
Just like the children of Israel, we have been promised blessings. In spite of
your pain
your sins
your trials
GOD is there to move you from your bondage to His blessings.
Visit our bookstore to order your copy of Reality.
