Recently Joined, Prayer Rally, My Hope Sunday (Pastoral Emphasis for 2/19)

We welcome the following people who have recently joined: 
  • Alicia Perry - Joined on Christian Experience 
  • Jason & Kimberly Charles - Joined on Christian Experience & Candidates for Baptism (their children are Princess, age 7; Asher, age 8; Addison, age 12; and Josh, age 17) 
Mark your calendar for our second Equip Conference on March 17- 19. The conference is focused on equipping people for evangelism and discipleship. It will help us bear witness to the Gospel of Christ. 

We are reminded time and time again that we live in a fallen, sin-filled, cursed world. There was a mass shooting at my alma mater, Michigan State University, where 3 students were killed, and 5 were injured.  There were also 7.8 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes that shook Turkey and Syria, which resulted in more than 46,000 deaths. It is among the most devastating and deadliest disasters seen in recent history. This is why we must pray. Join us for corporate prayer on Tuesday at 7pm at our Church-Wide Prayer Rally. Our Singles Ministry will be hosting. 



My Hope Sunday will be March 12. All of our members are asked to commit to inviting at least one unbeliever or unchurched person to join us at church on My Hope Sunday. During that service, we will share the hope we have in Jesus Christ. Start praying about who you will invite to that service.

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.
