The Bible teaches us that everything we have is a gift from God (1 Chronicles 29:14). As you give both faithfully and sacrificially, the mission of God advances, the gospel is preached, lives are touched, and the Church is strengthened.

Announcing a New Way to Join the Kids Ministry Team!

Would you like to be involved in Kids Ministry but can’t serve in the traditional ways? We’re looking to develop a pool of people that:

HAVE TIME and can help sporadically,
HAVE SKILLS and are happy to use them, and/or
HAVE STUFF and are willing to lend to us!

We’re calling it our “I’m Looking For…” List. Here's how it works:

When a need arises, we'll send out an email with what we're looking for
You respond if and only if it's a need that you're able and willing to fill

That's it! This is an easy and low-pressure way to help out!

If you're interested in jumping into this pool (of people!), click the link below:

Everyone struggles with a hurt, a hang-up, or a habit in some shape or form. In Mark 2:17, we see a beautiful reminder from Jesus:

"On hearing this, Jesus said to them, 'It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.' "

Our goal in Celebrate Recovery is to stop unhealthy behaviors that are destroying ourselves and others around us and help us live the purposeful life Christ died for us to live.
