    We invite you to join us for a six week Sunday night series especially designed for high school students and young adults that will help equip you to defend your faith on an academic level.

    Produced by Focus on the Family in conjunction with Coldwater Media, True U is an apologetics training series primarily geared to help prepare students for the rigorous challenges and attacks that will confront them on the university campus.

    We will discuss questions such as: Does God exist? Is all this God stuff for real? It just seems that science and God do not fit together.
    Hope you can join us! Food and fellowship begins at 5:30 p.m. and class starts at 6:00 p.m.

    Dates: April 21, 2013 – May 26, 2013

    Amazing Grace

    Amazing grace how sweet the sound, that saved someone like me. Everything in the Bible from Genesis to the book of Revelation points to Jesus’s death on the cross. It is because of His great sacrifice that we are able to enjoy the benefits of the new covenant of grace today.

    In this six-week class we will jump wholeheartedly into the discovery of the vastness of God’s grace. What exactly is grace? Why is it so difficult for individuals to grasp? What must we as believers do in order to partake of these blessings? These are just a few questions that will be answered as we journey through the Word of God together. The best news of all is that Jesus finished the work at Calvary. There is nothing we need to do today to earn our acceptance before Father God. It has already been accomplished on our behalf. We invite you to come and allow grace to open your heart.

    Awakenings, Revival & Visitations

    Lord, I’m hungry for a mighty move of God. Lord, I’m thirsty, pour out Your Holy Ghost. Lord, I want to see the hand of God move mightily inside of me. Lord, I’m hungry for a mighty move of God.“

    Do these song lyrics express the cry of your heart? If so, then come join us for a six week study as we look closely at past revivals across the world and stir our hearts with a passion for what God is wanting to do in our midst today. Duncan Campbell (1898-1972), the great Scottish revivalist wrote, “In revival, the community suddenly becomes conscious of the movings of God, beginning with His own people. In a matter of hours (not days), churches become crowded. No information of any special meeting but something happening that moves men and women to a house of God.” He goes on to say, “The presence of God is the supreme characteristic of a God-sent revival.”

    The word, visitation, means “ a communication of divine love” or “ an exhibition of divine goodness and mercy.” God has visited His people all throughout history. Let’s contend for God’s plan for a spiritual awakening of the church and the world.

    Discipleship with Pastor Scott

    Sunday night discipleship class is geared to help believers experience God in all His power and in all His presence.  Our goal is to disciple men and women individually, to teach them God’s way of doing things, to awaken them to the Christ who lives in them and to help them enjoy their new life in Jesus all day long.

    This specific class has been operating for over twelve years, and the results have been amazing. Hundreds of lives changed, healed, blessed and empowered!  This class also assists believers in making new friends, developing lifelong relationships, and finding his or her place in the body of Christ.

    We invite every new person in the church to attend this class first as it is foundational for   one’s relationship with Jesus Christ. Expect to grow and be changed in this class.

    Dates: April 21, 2013 – May 26, 2013

  • The Word of God

    Throughout history, satan has focused his attack on the Word of God. If he can cause man to doubt that God has spoken, then man has no final authority or direction for his life. The denial of the divine inspiration of the Scriptures undermines the authority of the Word of God and man is left to himself to determine if the creator, God, spoke the Word or not.

    This five week course will show that God has truly spoken to man and that we have received that communication from above in written form. We will deal with the way that man receives revelation from God and how it is written down without human error. God’s Word will stand the test of time and has the power to change your life forever.

    Dates: June 9, 2013 – July 14, 2013

    Time: 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. weekly Sunday nights

    God’s Will to Heal

    Millions of Christians today do not really understand the will of God when it comes to the subject of healing. They pray, “If it be thy will” prayers. In this five week class, we will embark on a journey to find what the Bible says about God’s desire to heal.

    F.F. Bosworth stated, “Faith begins where the will of God is known.” We will look at not two or three but thirty reasons why God wants you healed and well! This will be a great faith building, eye opening time.

    Everyone needs to know the will of God in this area, so sign up today.

    Dates: June 9, 2013 – July 14, 2013

    Time: 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. weekly Sunday nights
