You’ve spoken it in worship dozens of times. Maybe you even know it by heart. But where did the Nicene Creed come from? Why do we say it? And what does it have to do with us today? Join Pastor Ben as he walks through the Nicene Creed, looking at the scriptural connections to this ancient statement of faith. You’ll learn about the scars of faith which have made this confession necessary and the value of continuing to confess it today.

Sneak Peek Bible Study & Social
9am-11am
We’re getting familiar with the Scriptures for the upcoming Sunday! Our pastors will lead a discussion where we dissect the common themes throughout the readings and look for the personal “sweet spot” that encourages and challenges us. Each Monday we will wrestle with the Scripture together for an hour, from 9:00am to 10:00am in the fellowship hall, and after that all are encouraged to hang around for a time of fellowship. This “social time” after the time together in the Word is also so beneficial. God created us for relationships and this time with coffee and friends is awesome!
Explorer Bible Study
Now through – December 21
9:30am – 10:30am
The study of the Old Testament is an exploration into the thoughts and desires of God for ordinary people like you and me. As foreign as many customs and traditions might seem, we will discover that people’s natures remain the same. We are trapped today— as people were centuries ago—in an imperfect world where evil and pain seem all too prevalent. We, too, can view the world as meaningless and without hope. But Jesus Christ came to rescue the world from its quagmire, and His deliverance continues to change our lives. May His promises give you rich and lasting hope despite the evil which seems to surround us. And may you find in the midst of current suffering—joy!
Join Pastor Rod & Pastor Ben at 9:30am on Thursdays!
Women’s Bible Study
Now through October 26
6:30pm – 8:00pm
All women are invited to join Amy Koerber for an eight-week Bible study “From Beginning to Forever”. In this study, author Elizabeth Woodson will guide you through the story of the Bible, showing how all 66 books combine to form one unified narrative. Weaving together the rich theological truths found in Genesis through Revelation, participants will see the eternal significance of what God is doing in the world and how He invites us to be a part of it.
Men’s Bible Study
6am-7am
The 6am Friday morning men’s Bible study is held each Friday, from September through May. We will study the book of 1 Corinthians. Join us on the New Testament Adventure in the fellowship hall as we read and reflect on God’s word with a cup of coffee in hand. Led by Brian Hackman.
