Join us on our 8th anniversary service as Pastor Ray McCormick discusses the where we can truly place our hope.

Abraham is the exemplification of testing. Join us as we delve into this life-changing moment in the man who would come to be known as the "friend of God."

Have you ever had a moment of failure in front of a non-believer? Is there anything quite as humiliating as being corrected by someone who doesn't even know God? A similar situation happens in the life of Abraham in Genesis 20. Join us as Pastor Tyler leads us through this passage of Scripture.

You know that feeling when the boss enters the room to inspect your work? That feeling depends on whether you've done righteously or wickedly.

Continuing the study of the life of Abraham, today we discuss the impossibility of what God promises, yet fulfills.

Our call is to follow the call of the gospel. The example has been clearly given in Scripture. Today's sermon from Pastor McCormick will focus on this aspect of our Christian walk.

What is it that a disciple of Christ puts their faith in? Many times, the object of our faith isn't truly what it should be. Pastor Ray McCormick discusses this question in today's episode. 

The life of a disciple is always under examination. What leads us will define who we are. Join us as Pastor Ray dives into the examination of disciples in Biblical times and how we can apply that to our modern context.

How should a disciple of Christ be identified? By their works, ministry, talents, charisma, or success? Scripture clarifies what and who the identity of a disciple should be. Join us as student pastor Tyler Boring discusses this important topic in the discipleship series. Believer / Follower / Worker / Disciple Disciple Series | Part 8

Being a disciple must begin with being a believer. That is the very framework from which we must build. Join us as Pastor Ray McCormick discusses this foundational topic for the disciple series. Believer / Follower / Worker / Disciple Disciple Series, Part 7

On our discipleship journey, we've discovered that disciples are both followers as well as a workers. But, in order to truly be a mature disciple, you must also be producing more disciples. Join us as Pastor Ray McCormick walks us through the Biblical importance of being a disciple maker. Believer / Follower / Worker / Disciple Disciple Series, Part 6

In our discipleship journey, we've seen what it is to be a believer as well as a follower. Now it's time for us to shift our attention to what comes next, being a worker. One who follows Christ must then do as Christ commands. That cannot be done without getting our hands dirty! Join us as we continue our study on discipleship. Believer / Follower / Worker / Disciple Disciple Series, Part 5

In order to become a disciple, you must first become a follower. To continue the discipleship journey, a follower must love the one he follows more than anything else, forsaking all but Christ. Join us as we continue our study on discipleship. Believer / Follower / Worker / Disciple Disciple Series, Part 4

Thus far on our discipleship journey, we've seen that a follower must first leave what is less important in order to follow what is more important. Secondly, a follower must learn from the one he is following. Join us as pastor Ray McCormick continues the study on discipleship. Believer / Follower / Worker / Disciple Disciple Series, Part 3

In order to be a disciple of Christ, you must first believe. Once you believe, you must follow. A follower is not yet a disciple, but is on the journey to discipleship. A follower must leave what is less important behind in order to follow what is most important. In the case of Jesus' disciples, they needed to leave the traditions of religion behind in order to follow the truths of Jesus. This is Discipleship 101! Join us as student pastor Tyler Boring continues the series on being a disciple. Believer / Follower / Worker / Disciple Disciple Series, Part 2

Do you desire to be more than just a follower of Christ? Do you long to be used by God to your greatest potential?
