Look at Jesus!đ
Hello, Church family!
Have you heard the saying, âPlan as though youâll live forever, but live as though, youâll die tomorrowâ?
This isnât a Bible verse, but there are tons of truths in the Bible that talk about this concept. We donât know what day will be our last on this earth, but we know for sure weâre ready to leave if we have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus! We can and should live every day with eternity in view. That is so much easier to do if weâre looking at Jesus, and following His will for our lives. I donât want to waste one moment living for anything or anyone else but Jesus!
Hebrews 12:1-2
â 1 Â Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Â 2 Â Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.â
What is your Next Step?
If you have not attended a Starting Point/membership class with Pastor Phillip, now's the time! We know it has been a long time since the last one (due to COVID). Since there are quite a few people who need to attend, we are offering two optionsâ
Option 1) Three consecutive Wednesdays on August 11, 18, & 25 (attend all 3 during the 7 pm Growth Group hour)
Option 2) One Saturday, September 11 from 10 am - 1 pm (do it all in one day).
Learn what it means to be a member of the local church. Youâre part of a body, and we are all working together for the faith of the Gospel. How do you fit in, and how can you make a difference right here in our church and community?
âSo we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.â Romans 12:5

Christian Life Coaching
A great next step for everyone is to partner up with a coach who can walk with you through your next steps. The Bible word for this is discipleship.
First, they will take you through a 14-week course called CONTINUE where you will learn and become more grounded in your knowledge and understanding of some basic teachings of the Bible. Ready to get the ball rolling or would you like more info? Click here!
We will contact you to answer your questions and set up your first appointment.
