What is our DNA? Our DNA is to serve — to step out into our community and make an impact. We serve in many different ways and through many different groups, but one thing unites us: we serve together as one body, one gathering of believers on a mission. Our commitment keeps us ready to roll up our sleeves and continue making a difference where it matters most.
We know weekends can sometimes be difficult for serving, but this June gives us a great opportunity — it’s happening on a weekday, and it’s a DOUBLE Serve Day month! We’ll have the privilege of serving not only Man Church, but Woman Church as well. On Tuesday, June 2nd, the men will head to the Stable to prepare dinner for all the guys attending Man Church. We’ll be serving up street tacos, and we need all hands on deck! The biggest key is making sure everything flows smoothly and quickly, so let’s come ready to work, serve, and have a great time doing it.
Last time was an absolute blast, and the men are already looking forward to us being back. Come anytime after 4:30 PM to help get things set up for an incredible evening of fellowship and service.
And hey guys… it’s time for a rematch! The ladies outdid us again last year… are we really going to let that happen for a third time? Let’s show up strong and make this our year!
ITINERARY
MONDAY - 6 pm at Church to prep
TUESDAY - anytime after 4:30 pm at Stable
Join us for our May Potluck in Hangar 316 immediately following the service!
This is a meaningful opportunity to share a meal and spend time in fellowship as a church family, strengthening the connections that encourage and support us each week. This is more than a meal; it is a celebration of togetherness, gratitude, and the blessings we continue to receive.

What is your source of power for living out your faith? This four-week series, Empowered, reminds believers of the gift of the Holy Spirit while encouraging us to live a life of obedience empowered by the Spirit of God.
The entire chapter of 1 Corinthians 12 is an examination of the spiritual gifts God gives to believers. As Paul emphasizes, these gifts are not uniform. Some people’s gifts differ from those of others, just as some are called to different roles within the church ("Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles?" 1 Corinthians 12:29). The church is united but not uniform. It’s a diverse collection of individuals who come together to worship and serve God.

The Christian life is difficult. Jesus even promised that in this world we would have trouble. That said, believers have not been left unequipped to handle the challenges a faithful follower of Jesus faces. Galatians 5:16 promises Christians, "Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh." This is important to remember: When we walk by the Spirit, we’re not living by the desires of the flesh. It presents an either/or situation for believers: Either you are living for yourself, or you are living for God.
With a vision for changing the world, one heart at a time, the Christian Motorcycle Association’s Run for the Son continues to make an eternal impact across the globe. Through evangelism, discipleship, and compassion, RFS reaches beyond borders to bring hope where it is needed most.
By partnering with organizations like Global Christian Relief, Missionary Ventures, and Jesus Film Project, Run for the Son helps strengthen the persecuted church, equip pastors and ministry leaders, and share the Gospel in the heart language of people around the world. Every mile ridden and every dollar given becomes part of a greater mission — leading people to Jesus Christ.
Transportation remains one of the most strategic tools for world evangelism. Through CMA chapters, motorcycles are provided to missionaries who travel into villages, remote communities, and unreached areas where the Gospel may have never been heard in over 115 countries. These motorcycles are more than vehicles — they are instruments of ministry, carrying hope, prayer, and the message of salvation to countless lives.
The impact is incredible. Historically, every motorcycle provided has helped plant approximately 10 new churches, with each church reaching as many as 180 new believers within the first year alone. That is the power of faithful generosity in action.
This Sunday, we are honored to present funds to several chapters participating in this mission. Together, we continue the work of impacting our world — one rider, one church, one soul at a time.
Come out and join us for our first Serve Day of 2026 as we kick off the new year with a bang! This was how we were kicking off the year, but unfortunately, the weather interfered - so we are moving event to this month. We’ll be expanding the coffee shop into the room directly behind our current space. This includes opening an access way to the back, beginning to clean out the back room, and preparing the space for increased meeting area, administrative use, and additional storage.
This will be a hands-on serve day—come out with a ready heart as we begin the new year of impacting our community. We’ll need help with demo prep, cleaning, organizing, and general support. Let's serve, build, and move forward together.

Schedule:
One of the ways our church stays connected is through our Pitstops, but the larger way we truly function as the Church is through our Dream Teams. From the Cook Team and Snow Cone Team to Worship, Coffee Shop, and the Care Team — you step up to make a difference.
When smaller groups work together, the whole body functions the way God designed it to. Every role matters, and every person has a purpose. We believe there is no divide between “ministers” and the “congregation” — every member of Open Road is called and gifted to make a difference in the Kingdom of God.
If you’re not currently part of a Dream Team, check out the Church Center app and find a place to jump in. God created you with unique gifts and passions to impact the lives of others. Discover what you do well, and use it to help the church be the Church.
Let's Ride!!...
May 10th is the 2nd Sunday of the month. If you are new to Open Road Fellowship, that's when we jump on our bikes and head out as a group right after church for a nice ride. It's an opportunity for us to grab some good food and enjoy some fellowship as we take some time to get to know one another. The direction we head is always an adventure but geared to provide a relaxing time out on the bikes. Invite your friends; maybe a nice ride might be what motivates them to come to church. Hey, and if you don't ride, don't let that stop you from enjoying the day...just hop in your car and follow along.
North, south, east, or west... no matter where we head, you are sure to enjoy the ride. So, come join us for our next 2nd Sunday ride!

It can be difficult for some to discuss their faith with others. Whether it is a family member, friend, or stranger, there is the fear of rejection that can be overwhelming and stifle one’s witness. Thankfully, Jesus promised us that we would not be alone when it came to sharing our faith. We also would not have to rely on our own strength.
"But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Acts 1:8 is a passage that compliments the Great Commission in Matthew 28. There are three things promised by Jesus in Acts 1:8 and the first is the gift of power. The Greek word for “power” in this verse is dynamis, indicating dynamic strength and ability. This empowerment is essential for believers to effectively witness and spread the message of Christ. Believers do not share their faith by relying on their own strength or wit but through the power of God moving through them.
Today we pause to honor and celebrate the fathers, grandfathers, and father figures who faithfully lead, love, and serve their families. Your strength, guidance, encouragement, and unwavering support help shape future generations and leave a lasting legacy of faith and character.
Fatherhood is a calling that reflects God's love through sacrifice, compassion, wisdom, and steadfast commitment. Whether through words of encouragement, acts of service, or daily examples of integrity, fathers play a vital role in nurturing and guiding those entrusted to their care.
"The righteous man walks in his integrity; his children are blessed after him." — Proverbs 20:7
As we celebrate Father's Day, we thank God for the men who lead with humility, courage, and faith. May the Lord bless you with strength for every season, wisdom for every decision, and joy as you continue to impact the lives of your family and community.
Happy Father's Day! We honor you, appreciate you, and pray God's abundant blessings upon you today and always.
