Happy Pastor Appreciation Month!

Upcoming Event

The Great Mattress Run
Sun. Oct. 25, 4 p.m.

Students, bring your friends and meet at the Youth Building at 4 pm to form teams, pick up your mattress, and get instructions. The race will end at 6 pm with pizza at the Youth Building for all teams. Students can be picked up at 7 pm.

Parents, siblings, and anyone else no matter what age are encouraged to be Mattress Race Cops. These "cops" get to patrol campus, looking for teams with mattresses and attempt to detain them and make them do "fun" things (like serenade strangers). Cops should meet at 3:45 at the McKinley Parking Lot for instructions and are invited to join the students for pizza at the youth building afterwards.

This Week's Message

Pastor Bryan Scott | Giving to Worship the Creator |
Genesis 4:1-7

In creation, we see God’s intent for all things. In the Fall, we see how sin negatively impacts humanity and creation. Through it all we see God’s plan for redemption beginning to unfold. Seeing God as creator enhances our worship of him and scuttles endeavors to worship the created.
