Holding onto grudges and harboring resentment weighs us down and keeps us from experiencing the fullness of God's peace. This week in our Summer Baggage series, we will explore how releasing unforgiveness through the power of Christ can lighten our load and lead to true freedom. Discussing practical steps to forgive those who have wronged us will help us understand that forgiveness is a process and a choice. By trusting in God’s grace and mercy, we can begin to let go of past hurts and open our hearts to healing and reconciliation.


Pastor Michael Turner will be preaching in the Auditorium for the Contemporary Worship services; Pastor Jeff Kersey will be preaching in the Sanctuary for the Traditional Worship services.


For those worshiping remotely, you're invited to watch our services online, on Facebook and YouTube.




On July 28 we wil have Prayer and Healing services in the Auditorium and Sanctuary.This will be a time for you to come to stations set up across the rooms and voice your prayer requests to one of our prayer team and be prayed over. Make plans to attend one of these powerful services!

If you are a beginner, this is also an opportunity to be exposed to how these ministries work together to serve in a worship service setting. In the Pastoral Ministry track you can learn more about speaking and Bible Study methods. There are many worship tracks that you can choose from: Drums, Bass, Keys, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, and Vocals. Our Production track will focus on audio, lighting, and live video production as these areas work together to support worship services. Worship Workshops will be July 29-31 from 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM. The deadline to sign up is July 21. Register here.
