From the Pastor's Desk:
As a conclusion to our Wesleyan Rooted series, we are setting aside time for people to reaffirm their faith, renew their baptism, confirm our students, and receive new members into the church. These are all ways within our tradition that a person can profess his or her faith and take a step forward in spiritual growth.
Prayer Requests & Birthdays

The Christian Church has included four words, Gathering, Word, Table or Response, and Sending, in her worship throughout its history–possibly dated back to the early church. We use this historic order in our modern service, along with communion weekly.

7th - 12 Grade
Youth Confirmation
Starting September 11, during the Wednesday Night Study, students 7th-12th grade are invited to enter into a confirmation journey for 5 weeks. This is an important season in a young person's life. These young men and women will learn about the foundations of Christianity by deconstructing the Apostles Creed, which is a concise summary of Christianity. They'll have an opportunity to ask questions and be encouraged to reflect on what it is they believe. At the end, we'll talk about what Baptism is and give each of them the choice to be baptized (or reaffirm their baptism) and be confirmed into the church.
If a student misses a class, they can stay connected with the curriculum by streaming the videos and processing the reflection questions on their own. It is recommended that they miss no more than 2 of the 5 weeks to get the most out of this journey.

Why Wednesday Nights
August 29th, 2024
Starting in 2 weeks, September 11th, we're holding groups for all ages on Wednesday nights. We'll do this for 5 weeks during the Wesleyan rooted series. Why? Multiple reasons: Sunday isn't enough. If the only place you're getting your spiritual growth is in worship on Sunday, you aren't getting enough. Sunday is designed to be an amplifier for what we're doing independently and in small groups. It...
