Consecration Service
Sunday, August 4, 12:30pm
Please join us on Sunday, August 4 at 12:30pm in the Sanctuary as we hold a special service of consecration and dedication for our 12:30 service time that officially begins on Sunday, August 11. The service will last about 40 minutes as we take time to pray, sing, hear Scripture, and seek God’s presence together.
I’m Going Last!
This past January through May, our average Sunday morning attendance was 1,700! That’s up 400 people from the previous year.
As we continue to steward and maximize the capacity of our building and parking lot, we are adding a fourth service at 12:30pm every Sunday beginning August 11!
Would you prayerfully consider Going Last? We need a few hundred people to commit to Going Last and move to our new 12:30 service time so that we can welcome as many as possible to worship Jesus with us this August.
Please note that Nursery, Preschool, and Children’s Ministry will not be available during the 12:30 service. However, the nursing mom’s room with livestream feed will be available for use!
I’m Going First!
We are so grateful for the 200 people who have committed to attending first service at 8:15am each week! We would love to see attendance at this service double over the next year to help make room for visitors, families, and college students who attend our second and third services.
Nursery, Preschool, and Children’s Ministry through fourth grade meet during the 8:15 service!

It is with great joy that we share that we met 99.4% of our 2023–2024 fiscal year budget that closed June 30! This budget was a faith-filled and significant increase over the previous year. We invite you to join us in prayer and generosity as we look ahead to this year’s budget, which is another faith-filled step. Again and again we see that God is so faithful and His people are so generous; thank you for fueling His kingdom work!
