THIS SUNDAY

August 2, 2026

Rev. Adam Spore, 8:30 & 11:00 am Traditional Worship

Rev. Val Stewart, 11:15 am Modern Worship

 

Church membership vs. discipleship — are they the same thing? (Hint: one comes with a country club card. The other comes with responsibility. 

This Sunday, we're looking at the feeding of the 5,000 in Luke 9, a moment when Jesus could have easily done it all himself but instead turned to his disciples and said, "You feed them." That charge still applies to us today.

Join us Aug 9, as we talk about what it really means to be made, equipped, and sent as disciples of Jesus.
