Written by Pastor DeAngelo In 2020, I read 65 books (finishing the 65th book on December 31st!). I am a pastor (and now also a student pursuing his Doctor of Ministry), so I will read theology, but I work to read a variety of content. This year, that variety included history, health, sports, biography, psychology, […]
I would like to encourage you in the face of all the discouraging news with which we are being bombarded in our country right now. Courage and honesty in high places are in short supply. A Marxist revolution is unfolding before our eyes. Freedom of the press is a myth. The “cancel culture” is having its way.
Why does God seem silent? What in the world is He doing? What is He trying to tell us?
Written by Kris Wilder, Children’s Ministry Director The summer camp week is over. Your heart is full. God feels near. Temptation lacks its usual power. You want this to last forever. Life at home returns. Your heart is confused. God feels distant. Temptation’s power is strong. The spiritual momentum lasted a few short weeks. Though […]
More than 130 ladies gathered on January 18 for the “Joy in the Morning”-themed brunch to hear testimonies on how to tap into God’s boundless joy while waiting for morning to come. They swapped stories of God’s faithfulness over scones with clotted cream, fresh fruit, tea sandwiches, and twinkle lights. During the brunch, ladies heard […]

Written by Kris Wilder, Ministry Assistant “Bend your knees” “Weight on your shins” “To turn left, turn your right ski left” “To turn right, turn your left ski right” “And don’t forget to put all your weight on the ski you are turning” “Fall to the left or right, not forward or backward” “If you […]
Written by: Bob DeAngelo, Pastor of Youth and Outreach I don’t know that I love to read…but I do know that I love to learn. I get absolutely giddy at the thought of opening my mind up to new ways of thinking, differing perspectives, and thoughts that I had not previously considered. In fact, the […]
Okay, I’ll admit it, this is by far one of my favorite times of the year.
Football games that start to really matter.
Basketball season begins.
Cool weather blows in.
Thanksgiving with family is just around the corner.
Christmas music starts playing everywhere.
And just the whole “fall” thing—except cider—I can’t stand cider…
But one of my favorite parts is the walk from my car to the front door of the school.
written by Pastor Bob Vradenburgh, Senior Pastor Some of the most misunderstood and misapplied verses in the Bible are Jesus’ words to His disciples recorded in John 16:7-11. This passage contains an amazing promise about the future ministry of the Holy Spirit upon unbelievers (the “world”). These words must be understood in light of what […]
