Invite someone: At the Movies is June 9-30

,

Jesus used culturally relevant stories to timeless truths about the Kingdom of God. We are using million dollar stories to share the kingdom truths of the gospel. This is a great time to come, to invite, and to see God transform your life and someone else’s life.

Re-stream Availalbility

These teachings will not be available on demand. You can only experience At the Movies while at a service on site or at church online. We will re-stream the services regularly at church online. Invite your friends and family to watch it there if they cannot join us on site.

Weekly Movies

June 6: Spider-man: No Way Home
June 16: The Martian (Father’s Day)
June 23: Wonka
June 30: A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

Each week, you will receive notes that will share the kingdom truths that lead us to know God and follow Jesus so you can experience the full life He wants for you. Those notes and cue sheets will be posted weekly on our “messages” page

What will the services be like?

Here are the exciting things that will be different during “At the Movies.”

MESSAGES: We will still have engaging preaching that will inspire and challenge you to grow in your faith and follow Jesus. We will use movie clips to share biblical truths to lead you to grow in your faith and follow Jesus—but the gospel won’t change. You will receive notes with a “Talk-it-over” so you can talk with a friend or your family and follow Jesus together.

We will continue to sing songs that focus our hearts and minds on God and have times where we pray together so we can share Jesus with one another.

POPCORN: That irresistible buttery popcorn will be FREE and you can eat as much as you want. We know it will be before lunch, but we know popcorn is awesome regardless what time of day it is.

MIDDLE & HIGH SCHOOL VIP SECTION & WRAP PARTY: Middle & High School students are invited to our VIP Section. You’ll know exactly where it’s at! Plus, all Middle & High School students are invited to a “Wrap” party in the Loft with snacks and drinks right after each service. This party will be about 15 minutes and then students will be released to go home. So parents, please plan to stay a little extra so your student may connect with others their age.

Middle School Services & High School Underground

We will not have Middle School Services or High School Underground during At the Movies. Make sure they join our VIP experience! We will also not have MS/HS services on July 3 or July 7. Services will resume on July 10.

New Series: Wilderness of Loneliness Begins Apr 7

Many people are struggling with loneliness. Loneliness isn't necessarily a problem with you nor does it mean something is wrong with you. Loneliness is a reminder that something is wrong in our world. In our busy, crowded world, many are in a wilderness of loneliness and they want out. In this series, we will see what scripture has to say to the lonely and how the gospel brings hope to the lonely.

Spiritual maturity is having a healthy relationship with God, myself, and others.

(The Storyteller: Gospel of Luke)

Waste the haste: learn Jesus' unforced rhythms of life.
(Waste the Haste)

We receive and we advance the Unshakeable Kingdom of God’s righteousness, peace, and joy.
(Unshakeable Kingdom)

 Unshakeable Prayer:

Father, may I stand in Christ’s righteousness. May that give me the strength and courage to live rightly and do what is just. Give me a peace because I trust that You are always with me no matter what I face and may I be a peacemaker. Give me a joy that comes from knowing that my identity is in Jesus and make my joy complete as I honor You in everything I think, say, and do

 Waste the Haste Challenge:  Breathe

New Series Begins Jan 2 + Women's Conference Early Bird Deadline

,

New Series Begins January 2: Burn the Ships

See why following Jesus means that we do not look back and discover what Jesus leads us to when we burn the ships in our lives. Share the invite below to invite someone to join you in person or watch with you online.

2022 Fearless Women's Conference 

Early Bird Deadline is Dec 31. Only $15.00!
Ladies, do not let fear stop you from joining a community of women who are learning how being perfectly loved leads to being FEARLESS. I don' t want you to miss out on being a part of this experience with other women focused on following Jesus. 

Go 22 with us in 2022! 

Join us in 22 days of fasting, prayer, and scripture beginning on January 3. Start this year in a bold way.

As you pray about what God may be asking you to fast, will you prayerfully consider going dark on social media by fasting Facebook, instagram, Snapchat, or Tictok for 22 days? I believe as we go dark on social media, God’s light will bring new life to our souls. You may consider fasting other things, like a meal, a food group, or a favorite beverage.

As you fast, I want to encourage you that fasting is just as much influenced by what you put into your life as it is influenced by what you give up. During this time we will be adding prayer. As you pray, I want to challenge you to pray a bold prayer with us as a church family: "Father, where are you at work in me and around me and how can I join you there?" We also have several Bible reading plans you can join in these 22 days to see God's truth transform you from the inside out. 

There has been a Psalm that has been transformational in me this past year.

"Fear the Lord, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing.
The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing." 
Psalm 34:9-10

Did you catch that those who pursue God lack nothing and lack no good thing. When we pursue God, we get Him. When you have Jesus you have everything you need. We believe God will do something amazing in you and through you as we seek God through these 22 days. We are praying for God to do something great in us and through us in 2022 according to His power that is at work within us as we continue to be on mission together, loving Jesus, becoming like Jesus, and sharing Jesus. 

Happy New Year!

Watch Sunday's Teaching

Did you miss Sunday’s teaching? If so, please go back an watch it. This message was for those who are losing their trust in scripture, have lost their trust in scripture, or know someone who has lost their faith because of something that was said in or about the Bible.

July 4th Sunday

In light of the holiday weekend and the number of leaders required to make Sunday amazing, we will not have KiDS and Student services on July 4th. We want to thank all our leaders who serve so faithfully throughout the year and we look forward to being with you all together in our services.

Lead a Single's or Couple's group

This fall, our groups will focus on helping singles build stronger relationships and helping couples build stronger marriages. These groups will kick-off in September with a series called, "No Days Off: Parenting for the Win." For those of you who would like to lead a singles group or a couples group in your home or business, sign up for a Group Leader's meeting on June 27 or July 18.
