ANNOUNCEMENTS
During Advent, our worship services will commemorate the season with candles, readings, banners, and special messages. This year’s theme is “NOW IN FLESH APPEARING”. We’ll consider the mystery of the incarnation and see how Jesus’ humanity is essential to our understanding of God, his word, and our salvation. Let’s prepare our hearts together for this special season.

Join us as we begin a new Sunday School mini-series called “RIGHTLY UNITING THE WORD OF TRUTH”. It’s a several-week long overview of Dispensationalism and Covenant Theology intended to help us put the pieces of the Bible together and develop a framework for understanding its message.
