Exploring Church Membership
In God’s infinite wisdom and kindness, he has not left Christians to simply figure out “church” on their own, but has given us instruction through his Word. Join the pastors as they consider what Scripture has to say about the structure of the church, the importance of church membership, and how all of this serves to advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If you know someone who would like to participate, please direct them to our website with the link below. Members are also welcome to join, meet prospective members, and review what the Bible has to say about God’s design for the local church!
Cross Conference Interest Meeting
There will be a meeting after the worship service on Sunday, September 6 for those interested in attending CROSS Con.
CROSS is an annual gathering designed for Christians who want to grow in their understanding of Scripture, the local church, and God’s heart for the nations. This year, it will be held in St. Louis, Missouri, from December 31, 2026 – January 2, 2027. For more information, reach out to Joey Moralez.
