Last Week’s Sermon

Taking the Long View

Sermon from: Pastor Bryan George

November 10th, 2024

Focus: A close examination of this confusing parable shows that that steward is commended not for cheating the master but by taking a long term view of the importance of relationships over profits. Placing our faith in a relationship with Jesus is the best investment we can make.

EXPLORE

We have several places within the Church for you and your family

to explore the word of God and grow in your faith.

ChiLdren Ministries
Birth – 6th Grades

Providing a safe, welcoming environment for children to explore their faith and to grow in Bible knowledge. Children can participate in Sunday School, Wednesday evening programs, special events, and Vacation Bible School.

Student Ministries
7th – 12th Grades

Teaching our youth to remain Christ-centered throughout their daily lives. Connecting through worship & retreats, exploring God’s Word in small groups, and serving our community and region.

ADULT & HEALING MINISTRIES

Every season offers unique opportunities for people to grow healthy in God by exploring the Word and deepening their relationship with Jesus Christ. We encourage you to find a place to connect with a group in your season of life.

SERVE

We value opportunities to share the light of Christ with our community, region and worldwide. There are a variety of ways we encourage our congregation to serve as Christ’s hands and feet to help bring God’s Kingdom to earth.

LOCALLY

We support local ministries including: Habitat for Humanity, Lil’ Lambs Closet, Total Living Center, Family Living Center, Baby Bundles Plus, Blessing Bags, Prayer Shawls, Canton for All People, and the Pregnancy and Parenting Center

REGIONALLY

“We always had excuses why we could not participate in something at the church. We were flawed like Peter felt with Jesus. We understand now that Jesus was working through Pastor Bryan to get us out of our comfort zone.”
