‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the other commandments and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.
~ Matthew 22:37-40, NLT
As people who are seeking to be fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ, we believe that we are called to live out our lives following the two great commandments. The first is to “love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.” We believe that worship is the principle means by which Christian believers fulfill this commandment.

The Seder (or Passover Meal) is a Jewish holiday (holy day) that is celebrated in homes. It is often a time of family reunions and celebrations. The Seder focuses on the meaning of the time Israel spent in Egypt as slaves and how God delivered them from that slavery. It was a Seder that Jesus and his disciples were celebrating on the night of his arrest. That night he gave the Seder a new meaning for his disciples. He took the bread and said this is my body. He took the cup and said this is my blood. He was taking the deliverance theme of the Seder and helping his disciples understand how God was delivering them from their bondage to sin. We are celebrating the Seder as part of our Holy Thursday celebration to remind ourselves of the historical and theological foundation of the Holy Meal we share together as a Christian community.
- Sunday, April 4th Sunrise Service at 6:30 AM on the front steps of the church or in the Sanctuary if we have bad weather; Easter Traditional Services will be held at 8:30 and 11 AM in the Sanctuary and 9:45 AM Contemporary Service in the Fellowship Hall.
