Six Stone Jars: The Economy of Jesus


We are three weeks into Six Stone Jars: The Economy of Jesus as our sermon series, a six-week study that focuses on abundance. At times, life can feel like we’re “running out” of so much, and scarcity is shutting down the party. In these moments, we are invited to turn to the currency and economy of Jesus. In His economy, the true measure of abundance is fullness for the whole community, not just for some.


This Sunday, we will focus on "filling our wound with healing." We can't wait to see you there!

Staff Parish Committee Update 


It is with bittersweet emotions that we inform the congregation that Andrew and Lizzy Parnell will be moving to Tallahassee, Florida. Lizzy has accepted a promotional opportunity with Tallahassee Memorial Health and will be leaving in the first week of February. Andrew will continue serving our Student Ministry families for a little while longer, and we are grateful for his dedication.


"This decision was not made lightly but with much prayer and consideration. While it is difficult for us to move, we know that God is guiding our family to this next chapter. We are so grateful for the time and dedication each of you have invested in our youth group. We pray that the support will continue. As we look ahead, we remain excited about the important events we have planned and are confident that Ignite Student Ministries will continue to grow and thrive. With God's guidance, we will carry forward the foundation that has been built, and trust that new leaders will rise to continue the work. It has been an absolute honor to get to know each of you and your students. These are bright young men & women of God. They have so much love, energy, and perseverance in them, and we believe that they are building the kingdom of God."

Missions

Guatemala Mission Trip 2025


We are so grateful to send a team to Guatemala again on February 1st! Please pray for each team member specifically - Johanna Parr, Natalia Martinez, Joy Thompson, Scott Vann, and Julie Vann. Please pray for safety and good health and that we will represent Christ in all that we say and do.


This year, the team goes as learners, asking that through the power of the Holy Spirit, God will give us wisdom and revelation to know Him better and know and see His people as He sees them. Ephesians 1:18-19


We go as servants, asking God to help us show the people the full extent of our love - even when it may be difficult - ust as Jesus did when He washed the dirty feet of the disciples. John 13:1


And we return home as storytellers, to share how God worked in and through us on the trip. We serve to glorify God, and if we don’t tell the story, then how can others know? Ephesians 6:19-20
