Bible Study (all ages): Saturdays at 9:30 AM · Worship Service: Saturdays at 11:00 AM Whether you've been with us for thirty years or you're reading this before your first visit, everything below is open to you. Worship is Saturdays at 11:00 a.m., Bible study at 9:30 a.m., and you don't need to be a member to walk through any of these doors. ⛪Worship Message-Committed to Serve Elder Rick New ~ Matthew 21:28-31 In Jesus' parable, a father asks both of his sons to go work in his vineyard. One refuses, then changes his mind and goes. The other agrees, then never shows up. The question Jesus asks is simple: which one did what his father wanted? Elder New looks at three common barriers that keep people from answering God's call to serve, and at what happens when we get past them. The reward isn't obligation fulfilled. It's a life with real satisfaction and meaning. Everyone is welcome. If you've never visited, this is a great Sabbath to start. About our sermon series: Kingdom Culture: Becoming the Church God Intended is Pastor David's series on living the values of God's Kingdom in everyday life. The series pauses for two Sabbaths and resumes October 10, continuing through October 24. 🌟”What if...?” Spiritual Gifts Seminar What if God built you for something specific, and you haven't found it yet?

In Isaiah 58, God ties true Sabbath-keeping directly to sharing bread with the hungry, and Jesus said plainly that it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath (Matthew 12:12). Feeding our neighbors on Sabbath afternoon isn't a break from rest. It's the Sabbath doing what it was made for.
