“We must not offer people a system of redemption, a set of insights and principles. We offer people a Redeemer.” Paul David Tripp

Join Jim and Angie (hosts) for a six week study designed to strengthen your marriage. Using the video series titled "The Art of Marriage", you'll spend time learning together in the group and alone as couples. This is a great way to grow healthy marriages in the context of community, learning from teachers like Wayne Grudem, Al Mohler, and Paul Tripp.
The next group meets 2nd and 4th Fridays, March 27th through June 26th at Jim and Angie's residence. There is no childcare provided and the cost is $10 per couple.
Come celebrate the ordination of David Christensen to the Office of Deacon.
Deacons are a sign from God that He cares about us, from our biggest needs on down to the least. Deacons are our boots on the ground. They are individuals God calls and equips to set the pace among us, as we serve, strive for diversity and unity, and extend mercy.

Do we really need lengthy documents that articulate what we believe? Can't we just simply believe "the Bible"? Or be content with the phrase "no creed but Christ!"? Thorough statements of faith are not only helpful, they are necessary. Christianity involves essential truths which are taught in Sacred Scripture, and are meant to embody our faith and guide our practice. These truths - which reveal the nature, character, work and promises of God in the gospel - form the foundation of our faith and the center of our fellowship.
Beginning Sunday January 18th, Sunday School will launch a new study as our team of teachers carefully walk us through our church's very own Statement of Faith. We'll spend fourteen weeks examining and internalizing what we believe the Bible teaches us about God, Salvation & the Church.
What does the church believe?
Why do we believe it?
And, What difference does it make in your life?
There is no required homework. The only thing you'll need to bring is your Bible. And the only additional resource you'll want to consult is our Statement of Faith. You can download a PDF version with Scripture references here.
