21 Days of Prayer & Fasting

January 4, 2026 • All Day |Open Road Fellowship

Join us over the next 21 days as we intentionally seek God in prayer and believe Him to do amazing things in 2026.

We will partner with our friends at Chruch of the Highlands for resources and corporate prayer times. You can click here to go to their website for some fantastic resources.

If you've never fasted, this is an excellent opportunity to deny yourself of a worldly pleasure to help you focus on God. Some will fast food (or types of food), some will fast during a timeframe, and some will fast things like social media or sweets. Do whatever God leads you to do. It's not about what you give up but that you sacrifice something.

PitStops Are Here!

January 11, 2026 • All Day |On The Road Coffee Co

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!

Sign up by clicking on one of the links below or through the Church Center App. Pitstops will start January 25th.

God of Second Chances

January 18, 2026 • 10:00am |Worship Center

This Series, God of Second Chances, looks at stories in the Bible in which God gives people second chances, and it invites us to reflect on God's mercy, patience, and loving character. 

We are not bound to the decisions we make out of fear. God restores us no matter what we have done. We must be willing to turn back and trust Him. 

We never know how God will use the situation. Sometimes we must be open to the way God will change others, which will then lead to a change in our own lives. God's providence opened the door for restoration by allowing Paul and Onesimus to be together after the breach of trust between Onesimus and Philemon. Providence is a key attribute of God because it points us to the way God will accomplish His great goal of restoration for al who will respond accordingly.

1st Sunday Food & Clothing Drive

February 1, 2026 • 9:00am |Open Road Fellowship Church

It's the 1st Sunday of the month... it's time for our Food & Clothing Drive.  We can't feed everybody, we're not a homeless shelter, we're not even a food pantry... but we can partner with other ministries to help them accomplish their tasks in what God has called them to do.

This Sunday, bring in a bag of non-perishable food items.  We are making a difference in people's lives that are down and out.  It may be you one day needing just a little bit of help.  Also, go through your closets and look for those clothes that don't fit anymore or you haven't worn in awhile.  Bring them in for those who just need a little help.

1st Sunday Food & Clothing Drive... let's make an impact!!

Call to Prayer XI

February 1, 2026 • 6:00pm |Trinity Heights Baptist Church

In February our Association churches will come together once again for our 11th annual CALL TO PRAYER. Our host this year is Trinity Heights Baptist Church. Each year hundreds of Southern Baptists have come together to join their voices and hearts in crying out to God for a fresh work in our lives and our churches.

There seems to be new local, national or world crises every month and uncertainty and confusion follows right behind. We know that the Good Shepherd of Psalm 23 is still in control in spite of the wars and rumors of wars on every front. Our major cities are in turmoil with every vice you can think of on display on a daily basis. People are hurting everywhere, and clearly we need an EVENING OF PRAYER.

Throughout the evening the combined choirs from Trinity Heights, Gospel Light & FBC Blanchard will lead us in worship. Our pastors will be reading Scripture and leading us in corporate prayer. Don’t miss a great evening of encouragement, praise and prayer. 

Come As You Are - Sundays at 10 am
