Christmas Offering for International Missions

2021 Bible Reading Plan
In 2021 we want to embark upon a churchwide Bible reading plan through reading the New Testament together in a year.
  • Our plan, developed by Navigators, is 5 minutes a day, 5 days a week, and includes 5 core observations to guide your Bible reading time.
  • Our discipleship staff and leadership will integrate elements of the weekly reading into our Sunday School lessons, Student and Children’s ministries.
  • Our hope is that this reading plan will be a tool that will encourage you in your personal and family devotions, as well as provide an accessible tool for you as you find new opportunities for discipling relationships within our church and community.
See this link for a pdf of the reading plan or to request a paper copy contact Chase McLain.  
Pastor Search Committee
The Pastor Search Committee would like your input on the qualities we are looking for in a senior pastor. To do this, we will be conducting a survey that can be completed either online or on a paper copy. If you desire a paper copy, contact the church office to request a paper copy, and your deacon will also be checking with you to see if you prefer a paper copy. This survey will be available from December 7- December 31. Please complete the survey only once. To complete the survey online, click here.

After the holidays, we will be conducting listening sessions where we will discuss in small groups additional qualifications to consider in candidates. The survey includes a request for your input into what you would like to discuss in these sessions, so please be sure to complete the survey as soon as possible. More information on those sessions will be coming in January and we encourage everyone to participate. We need your input!

  • The Church Office will be OPEN for your year-end gifts.
