worship service
Second Corinthians is one of the Apostle Paul’s most personal letters ever written to the churches in which he founded. The purpose of 2nd Corinthians was to defend Paul’s ministry and message. His ministry came under severe attack from two main vantage points. First, his message was viewed to be insufficient, and second, his ministry was characterized by weakness and suffering. While those who opposed him appear to be embarrassed by the apostle’s suffering and subsequently reject Paul’s ministry, Paul shows that suffering is a crucial part of advancing the glory of God.
This is a book to which not only the gospel ministers, but all Christians, can go to find encouragement and perspective during the difficulties of criticism, inadequacy, and insufficiency. Rather than give a false sense of self-worth, Paul bluntly affirms the insufficiency of any new covenant minister, but Christians may rejoice because their sufficiency is of God in all areas of life.
Worship Services Classes for Children
GOSPEL PROJECT
Derick & Nicole Erwin 1st-6th grade
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.

Sunday School Classes
GENESIS
Pastor Jeff Knepper
Adult Class
Sunday school hour is a great hour filled with a lot of interaction as we study the Word of God together. Currently we are studying the book of Genesis. Genesis means “Beginnings”. It’s so important that we have our beginnings correct. If we fail at the foundational level, then the rest of our structure is not sure. As we study Genesis we will learn about the Creation of the world, The sin of man, The beginnings of civilization, The history of Noah, The descendants of Noah and the Tower of babel, The history of Abraham, The descendants of Ishmael, The history of Isaac and his sons, and the history of Joseph. Come and be a part of some exciting studies that have set the stage for the rest of Biblical history.
