See you this Sunday at 10 AM as we gather as a church family to worship and learn at the Revival Building (813 7th St).

Here’s the key emphases, happenings and overall announcements to read before we gather to sing, pray, share, serve and celebrate.

We begin the morning by praying and singing together to God, all generations with one voice. 

Audio from last Sunday is now online:

Emphasis this Sunday: There is no other foundation upon which we can build our lives. Jesus alone is our firm foundation, the only One able to carry the burdens of the whole world and endure through all trials and troubles. 

In this third chapter of Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians he tells them that in Jesus “all things are yours.” What does that mean? 

This new study of Paul’s First letter to the Corinthians is “The Beautiful Messy Church.” 


On Sunday, we begin all together to sing and pray. Elementary kids are welcome to remain in the large group gathering, or may join the the Pre-K class at “half-time” when they head to their classes. Together Renew Kids are learning about the life and times of Jesus the Christ with the Gospel Project for Kids.

Birth to two years upstairs, and preschool age (3-5yrs) downstairs, with the option of 1st & 2nd graders (age 6-7yrs) joining them. Thank you to all who serve faithfully in leading children to know Christ through meaningful relationships.

New Family Verse:

Jesus said, “By this all people will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.
—John 13:35
