Worship & Covid
Here's our working plan. We pray that it brings glory God! 

• Please enter the building through the north doors. Hand sanitizer available at entrances. East doors are also an entry option.
• Please wear a mask. We make this request out of respect for the government authorities and Linn County mask mandate. 
• Feel free to bring coffee, beverage. We won't be serving food or drink at this time.
• Our Nursery and Kids Life Group leaders are excited to share Jesus with all the children! 
• If you'd like to attend in person but remain in your car, we have a live broadcast of the service on 90.7 FM. Park on the south side the building for best reception.
• For those worshipping at home, a live stream of the service is available at 9:30 on both Facebook Live Stream and YouTube Live Stream. 

Disciple
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19
Soul Detox Listen in on a great Soul Detox small group session here. While our Soul Detox study is coming to a close, Life Groups, like the one featured here, continue to meet to share life in Christ together through service, discussion, and study. Connect with Pastor Craig to learn more. 
Middle Youth Group POSTPONED. We will not gather 11/22, but we hope to gather in December! As soon as God brings clarity to the time and place, we'll share it out. Meanwhile, join us in prayer for our young people as they shine a light for Jesus in their virtual environments!
Bible 101 Classes Find links to all the Bible 101 classes on our website. Led by Pastor Craig, this 4-class series was recently presented and is an awesome intro to the Bible. Handouts and videos of the classes are online for you! 
Kids Life Group! Every Sunday morning during Pastor Craig's message we'll gather to grow in Christ and community. We're walking toward the manger with our Christmas theme "Chosen too." 

Serve
Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Romans 12:11
