New Member Videos

We are excited to welcome a bunch of new members to our church family. Church membership is important because it's a biblical commitment to Christ's body, offering spiritual growth through accountability, mutual support, and belonging in a community that helps you serve God and others, preventing isolation, and fostering collective ministry. It's about moving from a spectator to an invested participant, using your gifts for the church's good and submitting to guidance, forming a spiritual family that loves, protects, and encourages one another. We are excited to welcome the following to our church family: Zach & Cora Christel, Kola & Annuli Daramola, Lauren Hansen, Luke & Katie Huebner, Joe Kolosso, Wendy Pfankuch, Austin & Rebekah Seals, Jacob & Rachel Speckman, Ann Taake, Warren & Kris TenPas, Roberta Thomas Collins, David & Helen Vegter, Ainsley & Evan Thornton, Scott, Martha & McKahl Konitzer, Brad & Rebecca Veldhorst, Erin Miller, David & Sarah Pfankuch, Lindsey Waisanen, and Matt & Amber Woller.

Men's Ministry Bible Study & Winter Fellowship Breakfast

Throughout the year, we work to create opportunities for men to study God’s Word together & share the wisdom, experience, and struggles of pursuing God and investing in others. Our next Bible Study session offers men a place to meet weekly to do just that. Many believers long for a deeper, more whole-hearted Christian life. But what does that look like? James wrote his letter to show us. This deeply practical study shows us what genuine faith looks like. These 12 sessions will help reveal how to experience joy in hardships, patience in suffering, and whole-heartedness in how we speak, act, and pray. Books will be provided $5/each. Come check us out on Wednesdays at 6:30pm (starting January 7) in Fellowship Center East (201). Park in the West Parking Lot and enter Door 15.

ALSO: All men are invited to join us at the Winter Fellowship Breakfast, for challenging lessons from Pastor Keith, worship alongside Ross, as well as breakfast fellowship. Cost is only $10. Join us in Fellowship West from 8-10:30am on Saturday, January 10.

Women's Ministry Bible Studies

Join us for our January Bible studies! We are offering three different options, open to all women:

Tuesday Evenings (Starts January 6) | Studying the book of Joshua. Meets from 6:30–8 PM in Fellowship Center East.

Wednesday Mornings (Starts January 7) | Two groups meeting from 9:25–11 AM in Fellowship Center East and West:

Mother’s Together | Studying the book of Joshua. Come learn about God’s faithfulness through the book of Joshua. This is a wonderful opportunity to experience expository teaching, learn alongside other women, and receive the guidance of a Mentor Mom. Open to all women!
Women Together | Studying the book of James, a study on faith. In-depth teaching, through Biblical doctrine, emphasizing reflection and discussion, in community with others. Open to all women!

Note: Childcare is available on Wednesday mornings only. Please register your children in advance. Toddler Room is full and other rooms are quickly filling up, so if your kids are not registered we might not have room for them. If your children attended in the fall, you still need to re-register them again for winter/spring.

We hope you all consider joining us as we desire to grow in faith, learn the Bible, and grow with one another in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ! Please register for the study that interests you so we can provide adequate materials! If you have already registered for one of the January studies, you do not need to do so again.
