Pitstops are here... check out which one you would like to join.
Do you struggle with __________? You fill in the blank. Yes, Jesus is the answer, but do you need help figuring out how to make that happen? You've heard it said... You can't go toward your future until you settle your past, but do you believe it? The only way we will begin to change is to bring people into our lives that love us, and that want to see us succeed. We believe life change happens in the context of relationships. PitStops have one simple purpose: to bring people together. God created us to live in community with others, and it is only then that we can experience the full life He intends for us. PitStops meet once a week in locations all around our area. We believe there is a group out there for you!

Current PitStops:
Seeds Women's Center serves women, to see that they have someone to walk alongside them in their toughest decisions and options when it comes to their unplanned pregnancies. We want to stand up and help the pregnancy care center as they offer these women a supportive foundation, sharing factual information, and the love of Christ. To help serve our community and share God's amazing grace and love, join with us as a part of the Baby Bottle Campaign. This outreach opportunity allows us to help in the coninuance of providing free pregnancy tests, free ultrasounds, nurse consultations, as well as free prenatal and parenting classes. To participate, just pick up a baby bottle from the campaign table and begin filling it up with your spare change or cash. When full, bring it back to the church and grab another. A little bit from a lot goes a long way!
Let's join together to not only help women, men, and families in crisis - let's help to strengthen and bless the body of Christ as we partner together to see life cherished and supported across our area.
"How did you go bankrupt?" Ernest Hemingway wrote in The Sun Also Rises. The answer? "Two ways: gradually then suddenly." Based on the book by Mark Batterson, this series reveals that this principle applies not just to failure, but to every area of life - especially spiritual success. Through this attention-grabbing study of Scripture, Gradually, Then Suddenly, will identify the consistent, faithful steps that your church needs to be taking now to set the stage for future breakthroughs.
This series reveals:
For anyone feeling discouraged by slow progress or wondering if their faithfulness matters, Gradually, Then Suddenly, offers the encouraging truth that God is working behind the scenes through your daily obedience to prepare you for moments of dramatic breakthrough.
"The obstacle is not the enemy; the obstacle is the way." God often invites us into defining moments - grand gestures - where faith moves from intention to action. Big miracles are born out of bold, obedient steps that say to God, "I'm all in."
There comes a time when you stop talking to God about your mountain and start speaking to the mountain in Jesus' name. Mountains train our faith muscles. Tests become testimonies. Har climbs produce better views. Faith that has never been stretched can't stand. When God permits difficulty. He is often elevating your perspective. The mountain you face may become the platform from which you praise.
Step out. Make the gesture. Burn the boats. Faith is spelled R-I-S-K.
Serving on Sunday is great, but out in the community is where we are truly called to be. So, it's time to get out and on Saturday, February 21st, we will be heading down to Coushatta. We will have our next church-wide serve day at the Abbie Lane Pastor's Retreat Center, a place that has an impactful ministry in helping pastors rest and recover. We will help them out with various projects around the property as needed... the work doesn't matter - the blessing does.
