WHY We Believe

Have you ever wondered about the authenticity, accuracy, or authority of the Bible? Have you ever dug into the historical accuracy of the gospel accounts? Have you ever wondered, "Can I be sure about my beliefs in Jesus?"

If so, you’ll want to join us for our three-week Bible study, "WHY We Believe," beginning Sunday, November 2, at 9:00 AM in room 135.

Led by Jay Scott and James Canterbury, this study will help answer some of your questions about the Bible and Jesus, enabling you to continue growing in your faith.

Joy Drive

Join us for a family-friendly event for ALL ages as we pack Care Kits to benefit our Impact Partners during the holiday season!

IMPACT PARTNERS:

The Ronald McDonald House – packing snack kits & hygiene kits
Worthington Resource Pantry – packing Birthday kits
PDHC – packing New Baby kits
The Laurels and Willowbrook – Families will make Christmas cards for the residents at The Laurels and Willowbrook Nursing Homes. (These residents may get overlooked during the Holiday season.)

During this event, your family will have the chance to partner with these impact partners by assembling Care Kits here at church!

This event isn't just for families with young kids—it's for anyone with a heart to serve! The purpose of the event is to help kids (and adults) identify the needs around them and discover how they can help their community. Representatives from each Impact Partner will be in attendance to educate us and help us discover the many ways we can make a difference.

No one is too young or too small to make the world around them a better place!

OPTIONAL: To help cover the cost of materials, please consider donating $25 per family to cover the cost of items used in this event. You may pay the day of the event with cash or check, or via Paypal.
