It's Shoebox Time!  This is our tenth year sending shoebox gifts through Samaritan's Purse's Operation Christmas Child to share Christ's love around the world.  If you'd like to be involved with packing boxes for this exciting ministry, plan to come by the church on Saturday, November 12 between 10AM and 2PM to help.  Over the last nine years, boxes from our church have gone to Congo, Peru, Malawi, Ukraine, Georgia, Uraguay, South Africa, the Philippines, and many other countries.

Join us on Sunday evenings, beginning July 10, as we start a new series based on a six-session video presentation by Gregory Koukle. 

Unlike previous times in our history, many people have no basis for understanding the Bible. Can you answer the question: What is Christianity? In a brief and meaningful way? 

Kunkle uses five simple words to present the narrative backbone of the Christian story. Join us as we watch the videos, discuss, and pray during these summer Sunday evenings.

 

Join us Sunday evening, June 26, at 6PM for a screening of Show Me the Father.  This documentary drama produced by the Kendrick brothers presents five fatherhood-related stories connected with commentary by Tony Evans.

For the next several Sunday evenings, we will be viewing a documentary that examines whether the history found in the Book of Exodus is credible. 

Is there any physical evidence to support the biblical story of the Exodus? 

An in-depth investigation by filmmaker Timothy Mahoney searches for answers to these questions amid startling new finds that match the Bible’s account of Joseph’s time in Egypt and the events that follow.

Join us on Sunday evenings at 6PM.

On Sunday evenings at 6PM, we are examining the prophecy Amos was given nearly 28 centuries ago. A shepherd and fig farmer living near the out-of-the-way Judean town of Tekoa, God directed him to speak truth into the corrupt culture of his day. Join us in this journey. His world and ours are strangely similar. Noisy voices like to quote Amos when he cries out: “But let justice roll down like waters.” They rarely complete the thought: “…and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.”
