On Sunday, November 3, at 9:15am + 11:00am, Pastor Mac will sit down with special guest Jade Warshaw for an engaging conversation you won't want to miss. You might recognize Jade as a co-host of The Ramsey Show, America's second-largest talk radio program. Her journey is inspiring: she and her husband Sam conquered a staggering $460,000 in personal debt. Now, she's passionate about helping others achieve the same financial peace she's found. 

Jade has been featured on major media outlets, from Fox News to Fortune magazine. But what really sets her apart is her approach to money management. It's not just about numbers for Jade – it's about changing mindsets and transforming lives.

Whether you're curious about managing your finances or just love a good success story, you'll want to hear what Jade has to share. We hope to see you there!

“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” -A.W. Tozer

Though it might sound like pastoral overreach, Tozer's declaration stubbornly stands the tests of time, intellectual scrutiny, and practical observation. Everyone places something or someone at the center of their lives. It may be God, a person, self, altruism, success, pleasure, influence, power, or even their children's success or happiness. We all place something at the center of our lives that drives everything we believe, do, and say. Whatever that something or someone may be, it functions either as God or a god. What we believe about God determines the basis for everything else we believe and do in our lives.

This new message series, God is ____, begins on Sunday, September 29 at 9:15 + 11. Join us in exploring the biblical foundations of sound theology that anchors our lives in reality and invigorates us with purpose and significance.

Dodge. Duck. Dip. Dive. Dodge. Assemble a team of four middle schoolers to come and dominate in our middle school dodgeball tournament on Sunday, September 22 after the 11:00am service at the Student Building. Plus, there will be delicious pizza, custom Nike Dunks for the entire winning team, and a boatload of laughter and excitement!

To wrap up the message series, STRONG ENOUGH, we’ve invited former U.S. Congressman Trey Gowdy to be a part of our services on Sunday, September 22 at 9:15 + 11.

As a committed Christian, biblical scholar, and Constitutional expert, Trey is deeply passionate about how our faith transcends political divisions. We’re not here to wave a Republican or Democratic flag; we’re here as the Bride of Christ, committed to praying for and working toward the flourishing of our communities and nation.

Together, we’ll examine what it means for us as followers of Christ to have our faith interact with, intersect, and influence politics. No matter where you stand politically, this service will equip us all to be more Christ-like, living as the salt and light we’re called to be in this broken, fallen world. Please join us as we explore this growing intersection of theology and governance, addressing critical issues from a biblical perspective.

We look forward to this time of reflection and remembrance as we follow Jesus’ words to “do this in remembrance of Him” (Luke 22:19).

Helping Teens and Young Adults Break Free From the Anxiety Spiral

This workshop is for parents, educators, coaches, and leaders of preteens & teens.

Anxiety is a normal human response to stressful circumstances. But sometimes anxiety takes more control over us than we would like, and we find ourselves stuck in a cycle of fear and anxious thoughts. That cycle (sometimes called the spiral of anxiety) can leave us feeling overwhelmed, helpless, and exhausted.

Teenagers and young adults already have a lot on their minds, with the pressures of keeping up grades, navigating their future, and keeping their social life intact. Anxiety can make life even more difficult.

In this workshop, Will Hutcherson and Dr. Chinwé Williams will help parents discover the lies that can keep teens spiraling in anxiety. Then they'll share the truths to replace those lies, along with practical strategies to help teens break free from the cycle. Will and Dr. Chinwé seamlessly combine both faith and psychology to provide parents tools to help their teens stop believing the lies of anxiety and to thrive instead of just surviving life.

It also allows us, the church family, the opportunity to partner with you and pledge to support and pray for your family along the way. 

On August 18, during the 11am service, you and your child will come on stage, be prayed for and given a little gift to celebrate together as a congregation. This is a great opportunity to invite friends and family to join this celebration as you commit to raise your child to follow Christ.
