      Jesus ‘came preaching the good news of God.’  That he spoke also of the kingdom of God makes no difference to this fact: for if [...]

  • 2009-Thanks to You, Thanks Be to God!

Services at 12:00p & 7:00p

Presenting our new ChristCare Small Group Leaders

May Christ Circle us with His Love!

Friendship is a cooperative and supportive relationship between two or more people.  The key word here is between. Friendship is not a one way street. In order for a friendship to grow, you must spend time with each other. For God to show us his unconditional support, guidance and love, we need to spend time with Him. ChristCare offers safe and trusting small group communities where people can support, nurture, encourage, and care for one another, while spending time with God. “ChristCare is a special place where you can grow in your relationship with God and other Christians”-Elizabeth Pittman, ChristCare leader. “ChristCare is a comfortable method of building Christian community that allows us to learn, love, and grow”-Erin Dalton, ChristCare leader.
