Consecration Service

This Sunday at 12:30pm

This Sunday, we will hold a special service of consecration and dedication for our 12:30 service time that officially begins next Sunday, August 11. The service will be in the Sanctuary and 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 week beginning next Sunday, 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 Last!

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!

I’m Going First!

To help address our attendance growth and parking concerns, we are exploring what it takes to get approval to expand our parking lot. Our proposed project is on the agenda for the LFUCG Board of Adjusters meeting on Monday, August 12. The city’s process includes mailing letters to our neighbors and placing a sign in our yard.

We have no plans to expand our parking lot at this time, but we are taking steps in case we decide to pursue this project in the future.

Pray for clarity as the staff and Leadership Board consider the Lord’s will in handling the blessings of church growth that we are experiencing!
