worship service
The book of Colossians is a timely book, given its nature. There were direct attacks against Christ coming from a group called the Gnostics. To the Gnostics, the Gospel message was simply not enough; they needed Jesus plus all of their knowledge. Paul writes this letter in direct response to these false claims from the Gnostics that were finding their way into the Church of Colossae. Paul gives a very pointed and distinct response stating throughout the entire letter that Christ is sufficient in all things, including salvation, creation, and the Church.
Worship Services Classes for Children
GOSPEL PROJECT
Tonya Henry
The Gospel Project take kids on a Christ-centered, chronological journey through Scripture. Kids will discover how the gospel unfolds from Genesis through Revelation. When kids truly experience the gospel, their hearts are transformed. It is the gospel, not good behavior, that changes everything. We have classes for 1st-3rd grade and 4th-6th grade children, these children begin in the sanctuary and then are dismissed to class after worship before the sermon.
PRESCHOOL
Lawanda Barnett
The children do a variety of things from play, to praying, to snack, and Bible time. This is for children 3 years old to 5 years old. Parents should plan to drop off their children to this room before church begins.
NURSERY
Deanna Bussard
Our Nursery is available during our Sunday morning service for children birth to age 35 months, parents sign their child in at the beginning of the service. The nursery is a fun place for baby’s and toddlers to play during the service!
Sunday School Classes
TRUE SPIRITUALITY
Kirk Thomas
Adult Class
Sunday school hour is a great hour filled with a lot of interaction as we study the Word of God together. For many Christians, the abundant life that we hear about on Sunday doesn't line up with our experience Monday through Saturday. Many sincere believers find themselves feeling stuck, frustrated, and fatigued. If you've ever felt like you were 'going through the motions' without experiencing true joy or power, this may describe you.
There is good news- this was never God's idea! If you've ever sensed that God has more in mind for you...but you're unsure how to experience it, True Spirituality is for you. This powerful study removes the clutter and presents a clear, compelling, Biblical picture of a true disciple of Jesus.
You will be challenged...You will be encouraged...You will be stretched...You will be CHANGED.
THE ENGAGEMENT PROJECT
Matt Barnett
Adult Class
Matt Barnett facilitates the downstairs Sunday School dealing with life and relationships. The Engagement Project's ten tours will again take us on a marvelous quest of seeking the face of God and, as best as He will allow, to gaze upon the Crown Jewel in His nature—a quest we hope and pray will deeply transform the Body of Christ.
This will lead us to understand where we are in God’s Meta-Narrative and the incredible vision that He has entrusted the primary work of the Kingdom to the common, everyday Christian.
GOSPEL FOUNDATIONS
Pastor Matt Winters
7th-12th Grade
From the creators of The Gospel Project, this six-volume study leads students on a journey through the Bible in just one year. Each volume contains seven sessions and is video-enhanced to help our group engage in discussion with a clear understanding of how each text fits into the storyline of Scripture.
EXPLORE THE BIBLE
Kristi Keel
1st-6th grade
Our dedicated set of volunteers want to help your kids dig deep into God's Word! Using a book-by-book format, every session brings the Bible to life through rich study and engaging Bible objects, equips kids with foundational Bible knowledge and skills, and encourages them to live what they learn everywhere they go. There are 2 separate classes going through this study that take place, one is for 1st-3rd grade and the other is 4th-6th grade children.
