Join us for Baptism Sunday!

On Sunday, September 13, we’ll celebrate Baptism Sunday at 10:00 a.m. If you’ve been thinking about baptism, we’d love to talk with you. Reach out to Brent Gilstrap at [email protected] to learn more.

There’s something special about watching people in our church family publicly declare their faith in Jesus. These photos from our last Baptism Sunday capture just a little of the joy we shared.

We can’t wait to celebrate again! Come worship with us and celebrate this step of faith together.

We love getting to serve our local schools! ❤️

Recently, we had the opportunity to serve lunch to approximately 60 teachers and staff at West Forest Intermediate School during their Meet the Teacher day. It was a joy to see so many familiar faces and hear how grateful they were for the meal.

We also had the opportunity to welcome Ms. Todd, the school’s new special needs teacher. Our church family was able to provide the sensory items and equipment from her classroom wishlist and we were grateful to see how much that support meant to her.

We’re so thankful for the teachers and staff at West Forest and for every opportunity to serve our community.

✝️ FOLLOW. A new series starts this Sunday.

Believing is the beginning. Following changes everything.

Beginning August 9, we’ll explore what it means to truly follow Jesus - walking with Him, being changed by Him and joining His mission in the world.

We’d love for you to be part of this series. Join us Sunday at 9:00 or 10:30 a.m.!

There are few things more exciting than seeing the next generation respond to the Gospel.

Last week at Student Life Camp, our students spent time worshiping, growing in their faith, and building community together. And eight of them made the decision to follow Christ! 🙌

Join us in praising God for what He has done and praying for these students as they continue to grow in their walk with Jesus.
