Sermon Notes

The greatest question of all that we must ask ourselves is whether we are putting Jesus first in our lives. If we seek first the Kingdom of God this year then every other area of life will fall in line. It’s a new year that comes with a chance at a fresh start. Lets use this series to encourage each other and promote a fresh start reorienting our lives and reprioritizing what is most important. This 4-week series will kick-start and revitalize our church into something Better.

Join Us in Reading Through the Bible in 2025!



Last year, 70 people accepted the challenge to read through the Bible in a year using the YouVersion Bible App. This year, we invite you to join us in going through the Bible using The Bible Recap plan. If you need help downloading the app or setting up the plan, Pastor Rebecca or Pastor Hodge would be happy to assist you. Don’t forget to add Pastor Hodge as a friend in the app so we can encourage one another on this journey!

High School Seniors

Are you a high school senior looking for a venue to hold your graduation party? Look no further than our local church! Pastor Hodge has generously offered the use of the gym for free. It's the perfect space to celebrate with your friends and family. Contact Pastor Hodge or Pastor Rebecca today to reserve the space for your special day.


Celebrate Life

We believe that God has given everyone of us gifts; these gifts are given not to make us look great, but to, in some way, bring glory to Him. In having Celebrate Life, we hope to help students find the gifts they have, develop those talents, and discover how God can use them to build His kingdom. It is also our hope that through Celebrate Life, those students will form relationships that will encourage their walk with God and become great bonds for years to come.


Payment is due in full by April 1, 2025. Please contact Pastor Rebecca if you have questions or need further information.
