Helping people
WEEKEND
find and follow Christ.
FRONT AND CENTER Thank you for choosing a seat to the front and center of the Worship Center when we come together to worship as a community. This helps your mind and heart remain engaged as others discreetly find open seating in the back once the service has begun.
Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, we are excited to walk together with you. If you’re new, we’d like to give you a free gift, (no strings attached), just stop by a host station.

No. It’s not a morbid idea. It’s an opportunity to let death inspire life! In 2011 Candy Chang was grieving the loss of someone she loved very much. Struggling to maintain perspective, she invited others to join her journey in an extraordinary way. She painted the side of an abandoned house in her New Orleans neighborhood with chalkboard paint, then stenciled in the sentence “Before I die I want to _______________.” Next, she invited anybody who wished to share their hopes and dreams… In our new series, we are joining the conversation. Come leave your mark on the wall, as we wonder out loud together how Jesus might fill in the blank…

MOMENTS that matter So much to do. So little time. It’s SO important to make the most of every moment. Life is precious. Time, our most valuable commodity. May, for me, is a month of moments that matter. Think of the memory-making season at hand: Mothers Day, Graduation Day, Memorial Day, Fathers Day. For many, Wedding Day is in there, too. Oh! And don’t forget our special night of celebration, Sunday, June 2, for all those making such a difference as Christ Journey volunteers!! How can we make the most of our meaningful moments? Part of the answer comes in sharing them together. Among Jesus’ first call to his disciples was the call simply to “be with” him together. I’m looking forward to being with Him together with you this month, Bill White Senior Pastor
