Upcoming Events

The “Spiritual Disciplines” are Biblical habits or practices that can be implemented into your daily life as a means of grace for both your pursuit of God and growth in godliness. They are the practical and purposeful means by which you may come to know Him and make Him known more abundantly in your life. Think of these disciplines as God’s heavenly fertilizer intended to take your seed of faith and grow it into a mature and flourishing faith; both fruitful and faithful for His glory. You will find that excelling at these disciplines isn’t the aim of our journey but rather a necessary means to your greatest end: ... “to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.” As human athletes discipline their bodies for various earthly victories, let us spiritually discipline our bodies for life and godliness, for the glory of our God (1 Timothy 4:7-8) and the souls of men.



The sermon on February 12 will be on "How To Study the Bible". We will then have the opportunity on Wednesday, February 15, at 6:15pm to gather for roundtable discussions on this topic. Men and women will gather in gender-specific small groups for discussion with the hopes to encourage the formation of accountability and discipleship groups within our church family.

Save the date for the Spring/Summer MOPS Consignment Fundraiser coming up on March 3-4 at New Providence. Come shop for all things related to kids such as children's, maternity, and junior's clothing, toys, baby equipment, décor, furniture, strollers, and more! Proceeds go back to the local community and this fundraiser allows the local MOPS group to get together and share the love of Jesus with other moms. To learn more, click on the button below.
