A Message from Pastor Kevin DibbleyThis Sunday, we celebrate the most important event in human history—the resurrection of Jesus Christ. If Jesus truly is who He claimed to be—the Son of God and Savior—and if He truly conquered sin and death through His cross and resurrection, then everything changes. In Acts 24, the apostle Paul stands on trial for proclaiming this very truth. What’s striking is that his accusers believe in the idea of resurrection—but reject its reality. Luke shows us there’s a world of difference between the two. Paul once believed it as an idea. Now he proclaims it as history: Jesus really rose—and because He lives, so will we. Easter invites each of us to consider: do we believe in the idea of resurrection, or the reality of it? And how would our lives change if we truly believed Jesus is alive—especially in a world marked by injustice, suffering, and death? Join us this Sunday as we explore how the reality of the resurrection transforms everyday life. Our Easter message is Resurrection Reality. We’d love for you to come—and bring a friend—as we celebrate together with joy as God’s redeemed people. Services at 9 and 11 a.m. |

Join Us for Good Friday & EasterWe invite you to join us as we remember and celebrate the heart of our faith. On Good Friday, we will gather for a reflective service as we remember Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. Then on Easter Sunday, we will celebrate the joy and hope of the resurrection together! These services are a meaningful opportunity to reflect, worship, and rejoice in the life we have through Jesus. We would love for you, your family, and your friends to be part of this special weekend. |

Covering Our Pastor In Prayer“Brothers, pray for us.” Those closing words in Paul’s letters to the Thessalonians were no casual sign‑off. Paul needed God. And Paul knew God acted through the prayer ministry of the churches. Paul depended upon God’s sovereignty, but he never separated it from the prayers of God’s people. His ministry was effective because the church lifted him up before the Lord. Pastor Kevin needs prayer in the same way. We’re organizing a 31‑day prayer cycle for him. You can sign up for one day (that will repeat each month)—or more, if you feel led—to cover Kevin in steady, intentional prayer. Email invitations were sent earlier this week. If you didn't receive an invitation but would like to participate, contact the office and we'll get you signed up. We still have room for more people to sign up. In the meantime, here is a link to the prayer topics for each day of the month. |
