SECURITY

TEAM

A new year has arrived and 2018 is slowly fading in the rearview mirror.

The good times, the difficult times, and the hard times of 2018 are in the

past and one thing remains unchanged: God was, is, and always will be faithful!

Let me take this opportunity to inform you of a new opportunity for spiritual growth in 2019.

I want to invite everyone to join me in a new

class called “Foundations” beginning Wednesday night, January 9th, at 7:00 PM. Believe it or not,

what we believe about matters of theology will affect how we live. God may not call every Christian to achieve a

seminary degree, but there are matters of faith and doctrine – that is, the church’s teaching – that every Christian must understand. Life is hard, but the more grounded in God’s Word we become then the more equipped we are to endure life’s hardships with faith and joy. Foundations has something to offer everyone, regardless of where you're at in your spiritual journey. Each evening will include a time of teaching as well as group discussion. You may be a mature follower of Christ who needs to refresh your heart and mind with the essential truths of Christianity. You may be a new believer desiring to grow in your knowledge and understanding of God and His Word. You may be a skeptic, but curious, interested in learning what the Bible teaches about the Christian faith. Everyone is invited to this new class! I hope you will join me in praying for God to move among us during the new year! Love and blessings, Pastor Jacob
