Parents, due to the storm, there will be no school on Tuesday and Wednesday. We will update you about the rest of the week. Please stay safe!
No Other Gods
Often, idols are obvious—money, power, fame. But subtler idols can sometimes take the form of sweet loved ones, Instagramable interiors, and busy seasons of ministry.But if your heart is prioritizing any of those pursuits before God, they are taking up space meant for Him alone.
In this 8-session study, learn to identify the functional gods you are serving daily and the lies they tell. Only when you learn to dethrone modern-day idols can you pursue a deeper, more meaningful relationship with Jesus.

The Gospel of John Bible Study
Ladies, join us for this 7 session Bible Study! It will begin on Tuesday, August 27th in the Foundations Room, at 9am.
Life. It seems to move at a break-neck pace. Days are filled with noise, screens, and appointments. Sometimes worry and fear are constant companions. The chaos can leave you looking for a place to be still, but that resting spot always seems to be an elusive destination. Jesus offers a different kind of life. He offers peace. He is peace.
In this 7-session study on the Gospel of John, Melissa Spoelstra will encourage you to slow down and linger with the living Word. You’ll appreciate the pace of the Savior who never hurried but completed all that the Father called Him to accomplish. As you turn the pages of John’s Gospel, you’ll be challenged to take on the posture of a learner—understanding that the peace Jesus offers is not an ease of circumstances, but a stillness of the soul. As a result, you’ll grow in intimacy with Him and learn to live, serve, and rest in His peace.

First Place | New Session
Orientation for the next First Place session will be held May 13th at 6pm. Come and be introduced to the Christ-centered weight loss and healthy living program!The cost for new members is $90 which pays for the member’s kit and Bible study. This session’s Bible study will be ‘A Better Way’. Our world is full of contradictions. We have amazing technology that can make our lives easier, yet we are more stressed and busier than previous generations. We live in a country with great wealth and resources, yet poverty and homelessness are constant. Outer beauty is valued more than inner beauty. And even though we know more about healthy living and have more resources to make healthy choices than ever before, overweight and obesity rates continue to rise. There is A BETTER WAY and that way is JESUS.
Returning members’ cost is $20.
