Our deacons serve as the trustees for our ministry and assist the pastor in promoting the spiritual welfare of the church. They are available to serve and provide access to you and your family. If you have a question, a prayer request, or would like to communicate a special or specific need, please reach out to your deacon. Of course, you can reach out to any of the deacons, but every deacon has been asssigned to care for a range of letters representing the first letter of each family's last name. Follow the link below to find your deacon.

In an effort to be disciples of Jesus who spend time with Him so we can become like Him and do what Jesus did, we are offering a journal that will help encourage the practice of spiritual rhythms which create time and space with Jesus. This journal provides a Scripture reading plan, space to journal notes, a prayer list, and weekly reflections that manage your commitments and measure your spiritual progress. This is a great resource to be utilized with our "Year of the Bible" focus. Pick up your free copy at our next worship gathering.

In the fall, we kicked off our campaign to raise $170,000 by December of this year to pay off a 5-year mortgage. Since Nov 1, we have collected over - $41,000. We have $137,700 remaining for the year to collect. We are at 19% of our goal (Note: we need to be at 21% each quarter to meet our goal). So, we are very close to this and may achieve it at the end of January!). However, that included several large gifts. We have taken 1 year off of the mortgage in 2.5 months! The mortgage has 4 years left on it!

Did you think that our Connect Card was for first time guest only? Sure, we ask all our guest to connect with us by filling out a Connect Card, but, our Connect Card is how you can effectively ask a question, request prayer, sign up for a ministry event, volunteer in service, or even ask a pastor to follow-up. That means our Connect Card is your key to communicate to the leadership of our church what's important to you and our leaders opportunity to appropriately minister. Please take advantage of this powerful tool that is accessible in digital formats on the homepage of our website, QR codes in racks on our church pews in the sanctuary and the link below. In addition, those physical cards located on the back of our church pews can be manually filled out and placed in the boxes at the back of the sanctuary.

All giving statements for the calendar year 2024 have been emailed out. If the church does not have an email on file, those giving statements were mailed out. If you did not get an email with your record of giving attached, please verify that we have your email. You can do so by looking up your profile on our church app. If you have never downloaded the app go to your app store for your device and search "Church Center," download the app, and then follow the prompts. Updating your profile with your contact information will enable us to communicate better in the future. If you have an email but have not received your statement, please check your junk folder. Your email filters may have blocked our attempt to send you communication. If you still don't can't find your statement and it has not arrived by January 24th by mail, please call the office or email our financial director by following the link below.

Are you looking to join a small group? Or would you like to know browse all the small groups that are currently meeting in our ministry? Well, we have a brand new tool on our website that will enable you to view all the groups meeting in our church. This tool will introduce you to the different types of groups; Life Groups, D-Groups, and Campus Courses. Here you will get to see when the groups meet, where the groups meet and who is leading each group. After reviewing the information you can send an email to our groups director, Beth LaChance, and request to join that group or seek more information.

It takes many people to effectively lead our congregation in worship every Sunday. Every week it takes committed intrumentalists and vocalists, but it also takes multiple sound technicians, video technicians, and IT technicians, a production director, production assistants and hosts. We are currently looking for committed individuals who are not seeking the spotlight, but rather looking to serve on a dynamic team that collectively lead our worship. If you are interested in this role and would like to discover what opportunities are currently available, please email our worship pastor by following the link below.
