Helen Wright Center, Church Family Meeting, Back 2 School Conference (Pastoral Emphasis for 7/27)

Please add Sidney Mills to your prayer list and pray for her salvation. We met her at the Phoenix Nursing home last Sunday.  She thinks Jesus is a good mentor and role model but does not believe in God.  Deacon Bowser is going back in a month to talk more with her.  Pray that God would change her heart and grant her repentance that leads to eternal life.

We have another opportunity to serve our community. The Deaconess will be serving dinner to the women at the Helen Wright Center in Raleigh on Thursday, July 31st.  If you would like to volunteer your time or make a donation, please contact Deaconess Angelique Cherry.

Don't forget our next Church Family Meeting on tomorrow at 7:00pm.  All members are asked to attend.


Join us for our Back to School Conference on Saturday, 8/2. Registration is at 9:30am and the conference is from 10am to noon.  It will include break-out sessions to encourage families to become well balance academically, physically, socially, and spiritually.  Afterwards, we'll go outside for games, music, fellowship, and food at the Tailgate Party that will last until 2:00pm. Attendees are asked to bring enough tailgate food that can be shared with several people. Come out and rock your favorite school or university apparel!


We had Ecuador testimonies from our returning missionaries Jae Smith, Decora Martin, Brittany Hardy and Amari Harris. It was great to hear not only what God did through the missionaries but also what God did IN them!

Mortgage Burning Ceremony (10.6.24)

Today is a day of celebration and gratitude as we come together to witness the burning of our church’s mortgage! This moment represents years of faith, commitment, and sacrificial giving from this congregation. It’s a testament to God’s faithfulness and the dedication of His people. What we are celebrating today is not just the end of a financial obligation, but the beginning of new possibilities for missions, outreach, and service in our community.   ---     Psalm 127:1 says, ‘Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.’   This building has been more than just bricks and mortar; it has been a spiritual home where so many lives have been touched by the gospel. We recognize that while we’ve paid off the mortgage, it is the Lord who has truly built this house, sustaining us through every season.   --- History of the Vision         Though this chapter is closing, the mission God has ...

My Hope Sunday, M:T Not a Competition, Prayer Gathering (Pastoral Emphasis for 10/13)

Today was My Hope Sunday ! We had several invited guests, and my message was from 1 Samuel 8:4-9 on "Looking for a Savior".  Israel wanted a king like the other nations who would “save” them. This is the very definition of a functional savior. A functional savior is anything or anyone a person looks to for ultimate hope, security, identity, or fulfillment in place of God. Whatever you look to to “save” you from your problems, fears, or insecurities is your functional savior. But all of our functional saviors cannot save us. Jesus is the Savior we really need!  Our greatest need in this life and the life to come is to have our sins forgiven by trusting in Jesus as our Lord and Savior! Today, my wife shared her My Hope Testimony .   (RSS Subscribers: click here to watch the video) Missions:Together’s "Not a Competition" is a powerful missions gathering designed to re-ignite your passion for missions on Saturday, November 2, hosted at The Summit Church in Apex.
