Responding NOT in fear & panic RATHER in PEACE & FAITH

We are grateful to be able to fellowship in person again. This ability for the time being comes with some restrictions and new norms for an unknown period of time. Please be patient with us as we continually work with our county and state to progress to a “New Normal” as we continue to worship our Great God and Savior. We recommend that as we come together for times of worship that you honor the guidelines that have been set forth by our authorities for testimony sake.

We welcome families with kids with open arms and will have kid packets made available to kids who worship with us. Our in-person nursery and children's church has resumed for those who fill out our registration/health form each week.

Please take time to look over our Transition Plan flyer to better understand how we are pursuing worshiping together once again!

Be The Church- During this time of different meeting situations, do not cease to be the church. God has placed us in places of work, alongside of neighbors, among groups of friends and acquaintances. In these settings let’s declare the Hope we have. Make sure during this time we be intentional about checking in on one another too.

As we come together we will have one service at 9:00 am. We will fill the service on a first-come basis. At this time we feel we have plenty of room to distance safely. We look forward to seeing you here!

Practical Pastoral Advice:

REMEMBER… First and foremost, we serve an amazing, all powerful, and all-knowing God who has not been taken by surprise. Let’s stay before Him in prayer, reading His Word to remind us of His promises (Hebrews 13:5-6, John 14:18) His power (Psalm 20:6-7) His care for us (1 Peter 5:6-7).

In this season we have a Peace and a Hope. Our prayer is that the Lord will use His people the church to bring the Light to our community in this time. As His church let’s be sensitive to those who are fearful and who will be impacted by this. May we encourage and build up one another. We have a wonderful Heavenly Father who cares for us. He will lead us through this time.

  • Avoid Social Media- it can be difficult to find peace, comfort, and edification here. This can be a tool to be used in powerful and good ways, it can also be a place for misinformation, panic, and may to bring some people down and discouraged. Monitor closely how social media is impacting your mental state.
  • Avoid Too Much Traditional Media- I understand we desire to be kept informed. There is a point where too much information becomes unhealthy. Stay informed, visit the county Public Health web-page, the World Health Organization, but do not dwell on these things. Often it leads once again to discouragement.
  • Finally, Do Not Worry- Luke 12:22-34 states God is aware, He cares, and He provides. Worry produces nothing good. In fact, it is harmful to the body. We can have a prayerful concern for what we see around us and yet not worry.

With Love and Prayers, -- Pastor Jed
