Welcome

We live in a society hugely affected by technology. Technology in turn depends upon good connections. It is our desire to do all we can to help individuals connect with Jesus Christ, and with other believers. We pray this website serves as a tool toward that end.

Special Online Service Content

Our Sunday morning services are now being held at our church building, but will also be streamed live here as video. Additionally, an audio-only recording will be available after the service on the sermons page.

January 24, 2021 — current/upcoming Sunday

January 17, 2021 — previous Sunday

It is our hope that those among our church family at higher risk will continue to worship with us remotely, until it becomes safe to resume normal interactions again.

Scripture Memorization Challenge

Bible Memorization Apps
There are a couple Bible memorization apps that can help you memorize Scripture. They will block out words for you, blur words, you can type in words and so forth to help you memorize! It is a great tool and easy to use on your phone. The two best apps are:
Verse Locker
Remember Me.
These can be found in the app store on your phone. Let Ashley Day know if you need help with these apps!
January Scripture Memorization
Psalm 8:1-9 (ESV)
1 O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set
your glory above the heavens.
2 Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength
because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and
the stars, which you have set in place,
4 what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you
care for him?
5 Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and
crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have
put all things under his feet,
7 all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field,
8 the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes
along the paths of the seas.
9 O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Book Corner: New Morning Mercies by Paul Tripp
Mornings can be tough. Sometimes, a hearty breakfast and strong cup of coffee just aren't enough. Offering more than a rush of caffeine, best-selling author Paul David Tripp wants to energize you with the most potent encouragement imaginable: the gospel.
Forget "behavior modification" or feel-good aphorisms. Tripp knows that what we really need is an encounter with the living God. Then we'll be prepared to trust in God's goodness, rely on his grace, and live for his glory each and every day.
