Beautiful Community
Two by Two
Ever have friends at a workplace that you were so close to, but as soon as you left that workplace, you lost touch with them? There's something inherent in us where we build relationships with people that we have shared experience with- good or bad. However, what's strange is that we can find these ancillary relationships built around repairing Navy ships, educating children, or building airplanes and finding just enough community to settle for a life of mediocrity instead of pursuing relationships as we were intended to have with one another. We were created to seek our God and care for the created world TOGETHER with one another. On mission, you and I are tethered to the same God, chasing after Him with all that we are, and as we are drawn closer to Him, we are naturally drawn closer to one another. This is the design for the Christian life, to pursue God and His mission together instead of pursuing the fruit of community and never really satisfied because it cannot exist in stagnation- it must be received as a blessing/byproduct of being focused on Jesus.
Weekly Devotionals/Life Group Curriculum and Daily Prayers

Staffing Transition Forum
THIS Sunday, May 16 from 11:30-12:30
We are celebrating exciting times here at Adventure! We have had the opportunity to welcome CJ Young as our new Senior Pastor and we are learning from him through his sermon series on the direction the church will be taking on Sunday mornings. In addition to our new Senior Pastor, we have had other staffing changes. We want to share with you what these changes are and how that fits into the Mission, Vision and Values of the church. Join us on May 16th after church from 11:30-12:30 as we discuss those changes.
Here is the link to a form that gives you an opportunity to ask questions prior to May 16th. We hope to be able to address all questions during the hour-long forum, however due to time restrictions we may not be able to answer all questions. If your question is not answered during the forum, someone will reach out to you personally to answer your questions.
We also want to let you know that children are welcome to attend! Thank you so much for taking the time to learn more about what Adventure is doing!

Adventure Prayer Night
Come pray with us at Adventure Prayer Night! We pray together every Tuesday from 6 to 7 pm. Adventure loves to pray and we believe in the power of prayer. We intentionally reserve an hour during the week for our church to corporately gather with the single purpose of praying. During Adventure Prayer Night, we pray for our Adventure of Faith Church family, community, and beyond.
We are committed to abide in God and pray corporately for the prayer requests that come in during the week from our church’s prayer chain. You can send in your prayer requests at adventureprays@gmail.com, where you can also subscribe if you want to be a part of the prayer chain.
Then we get together every Tuesday night and with The Holy Spirit’s presence we pray for our church leadership, missionaries, members, loved ones, and for anything and everything that our God call us to lift up to Him in Jesus’ Powerful Name. As a church that loves God and believes in the gospel of Jesus, we faithfully obey, “and pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the LORD’s people,” (Ephesians 6:18, NIV).
Come pray with us and witness God’s power through faithful prayers!

Thanks to Christina Eckley for sharing this God is Good moment!
When we unexpectedly had to move a month ago not only did God provide a wonderful place for us to move to but the week we spent physically moving our things the weather was absolutely perfect for moving! I am so grateful for a God that knows what’s coming long before I do and blesses me with all that I could need or want.
