Free BBQ last night turned out to be quite nice. Worried about rain all day, but the sun was out and the BBQ was amazing! The dancing pig was a hit with everyone. Well, except the one dog that was barking rather angrily out of a car window as it passed by.

If you need a church to call home, we have plenty of room for you!

We are a quirky bunch of folks that meet at a quirky time (2:00 pm on Sunday).

Come see us sometime!

Did someone say FREE BBQ? Yep! Tonight at Arbor Naz (918 Sparta St., McMinnville) we will be slinging free BBQ sandwiches from 6pm - 7pm. If it's not raining, you might catch a glimpse of a dancing pig out front. Rain or shine! See you then!

For those that follow us online, I have a question. I'm considering conducting a yearlong discipleship course that we received access to. It would consist of one weekly session that would last around one hour and meet for 52 weeks (yep, a full year). Google meet, I think, would be the delivery method.

There are four phases or quarters in the program:

Q1: The goal of this first quarter is to establish a strong foundation for discipleship by exploring who God is, who He says we are, and how we can cultivate a deep relationship with Him.

Q2: Quarter 2 focuses on the transformation of our daily lives as followers of Jesus. Discipleship is not only about what we believe but about how we live. In this section, we turn to Christian character, putting off the old self and putting on the new, as described in Colossians 3 and Ephesians 4. Each class explores qualities that reflect Christ’s nature, such as compassion, kindness, humility, patience, love, peace, faithfulness, and self-control.

Q3. Quarter 3 is about building our lives more deeply on the foundation of Christ and learning how to strengthen that foundation through the Word of God. Discipleship is not meant to be walked out in isolation; we are built together as the body of Christ.

Q4: The evangelism quarter of this course equips students to share the Gospel with confidence, compassion, and the leading of the Holy Spirit. Students learn that evangelism is more than getting someone to pray a prayer, it’s inviting them into a life of discipleship with Jesus. The module explores Jesus’ command in Matthew 28:19–20 and Acts 1:8, showing that our mission flows from God’s heart for the world and is empowered by His Spirit. Students examine biblical examples, the importance of building genuine relationships, and the necessity of communicating the Good News clearly and simply. The teaching emphasizes that evangelism is both a lifestyle and a calling for every believer.

At this time, this is just a thought or consideration. Trying to see if anyone would be interested in spending the time on a weekly basis for a full year. If so, comment below "I'm in" and that will give me something to think about. The group would be kept small indeed.

Thanks to all!

Some of you are tired.

Not just physically.
Soul tired.

You smile in public but feel heavy in private.
You keep running, but you don’t know if you’re winning anymore.

Hebrews 12 says to “fix our eyes on Jesus.”
Because sometimes the greatest danger isn’t falling apart…

it’s slowly losing heart.

Tomorrow at Arbor Naz, we’re talking about what it means to keep going when life feels heavy.

And listen…
you do not have to clean yourself up to walk through our doors.

Come anxious.
Come hurting.
Come skeptical.
Come exhausted.
Come in torn jeans.
Come late if you have to.

Just come.

We’re a small church family learning how to follow a big Savior.

2:00 PM tomorrow afternoon
Arbor Naz

There’s a seat for you here, not to mention coffee, snacks, and the love of Jesus

Some messages comfort you.

This one came for me.

God invaded my personal space, stepped on every tender place, and left me with one question:

Did I die?

My toes have been stepped all over...and it hurt...yet, was much needed.

So, I would encourage you to take off your shoes...sit down in a quiet spot...and listen to this message if you call yourself a Christian. Let it search you...let it even...hurt you...then, let it heal you.

Let it drive you to your knees in such a way...that you ask yourself:

Did you die?
