First Things First
Summer Is On It's Way!
Canterbury's many ministries for outreach, worship, and learning stay in full swing throughout the summer -- and they all need funding. So please help keep the church's financial house in order this summer by continuing to pay your pledge commitment. Or better yet ... consider prepaying your giving plan BEFORE you head off for the surf, the lake, or the mountains.
Have a great, slowed-down summer. And please, put FIRST THINGS FIRST!

Activate Grace
Sermon Series
Contemporary Worship

Wish you could feel more of God's power in your life? Grace is the key. We've seen for 2,000 years that Jesus is still at work making regular folks like us into phenomenal disciples. It happens through a set of actions called "means of grace" that God has given us. In this new series, we'll explore how God is ready to activate a new level of meaning and purpose for you!
