A few things you should know as you worship with us: We have a nursery available during the Modern Worship service for children ages 0-3 down the hall across from the restrooms by south entrance.

The Seven Churches of Revelation – A Sunday Night Study: We are holding a 9 week study from 6:00 – 7:15 p.m. each Sunday night. We will be using the Dr. Jeremiah study of the seven churches of Revelation. This nine week course will look at the historic value for the times it was written, and also the message it contains for the church universal as we continue 2000 years later. We will be able to reflect on the prophetic significance of the letters as we look at the historic unfolding of the Christian Church. Dr. David Jeremiah unpacks the meaning of the letters at all three interpretive levels, primary, personal, and prophetic. Understanding Christ’s view of ancient churches can help our modern churches be more faithful. Come and join Roger Ruby and Pastor Kevin as we present this 9 week series.

“A disciple is one who knows Christ, is growing in Christ, serving Christ, and sharing Christ.” #Seeallthepeople Wednesday Night – Pizza and Prophesy We will gather from 6:00 – 7:30 each Wednesday. Following the showing of the Coming Convergence, several people thought it might be good to have a time to visit about the movie we were watching, which sparked the idea of gathering on Wednesday evenings for a time of watching and discussing several current event topics as they relate to prophesy in the Bible. We will begin with another viewing of the Coming Convergence, with discussion. The following Wednesday we will begin watching a Perry Stone Prophesy Conference series. All are welcomed. Each lesson will be self-standing, so you can come any Wednesday and join in the conversations. Roger Ruby and Pastor Kevin will be leading the studies.
