Lent Sermon Series: "Jesus: Encountering God"
Description: In Exodus 34:6-7, God reveals his character to Moses on the mountain. We have been looking at the character of God as he made himself known in the Old Testament. As we enter the season of Lent, we want to explore each of the five characteristics as described in this passage and see the ways in which Jesus reveals God to us, because he is God with us. We will marvel at these characteristics unambiguously displayed in the life of Jesus Christ and hear his call to have these traits characterize our lives as Christians. READ MORE HERE

Dear Congregation,
As mentioned in the mission spotlight last month, your committee has been getting out into Longview to spend time with local mission partners to better understand their role in the community and how our church can be further engaged.
This week, Pastor Doug Ashley and Brian Daugbjerg visited with Julee Rachels the Founder and Director of Heartisans Marketplace. Heartisans is one of the organizations our church supports both financially as well as with volunteer work. READ MORE HERE
