NEXT
NEXT is a 12 month focus that is anchored in the powerful truth that the Gospel continues to illuminate generations. We want to make sure we’re here to proclaim the Gospel well into the future in safe, functional, and distraction-free environments. Our goal is to raise $375,000 for NEXT. Prayerfully consider how you and your family can be a part of NEXT. Let’s prepare our hearts for Commitment Sunday on November 16th.
November 9 - December 7
Angel Tree
We are partnering with Lima’s Salvation Army to bless local families in need. Our goal is to provide Christmas gifts for 100 kids in Lima. Pick a specific name from the trees in the Welcome Center starting Sunday, November 9. Please drop off unwrapped gifts by Sunday, December 7 to the church office or Welcome Center.

Advent Devotional
The Redemption of Christmas: A 25 Day Journey – Finding the Savior in the Shadows of Scrooge invites readers to experience Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol through the illuminating lens of the gospel. Pastor Robin Zaruba leads you through 25 Advent reflections that uncover how Christ—much like the unexpected visitors in Dickens’ tale—breaks into hardened lives with the light of redemption. This devotional offers a fresh, hope-filled way to prepare your heart for Christmas. Pick up your copy in the Welcome Center starting November 30th. For a limited time, it is available as a free Kindle download from Saturday (11.29) through Monday (12.1), with a downloadable PDF also provided.
Monday, December 01 | 6:00 PM
Prayer Gathering
If we could see what actually happens when we pray, we would never stop praying. The first Monday of every month is a time for our church to come together and unite in prayer. We worship in song and powerfully seek God's will through prayer. We pray for each other, our church, community, country, and more. It's our prayer to desire God above all else and seek His wisdom.

Hope
The hope that we have in Christ is altogether different than any other we might have ever experienced. In Him we have all the hope we will ever need, and that is especially true in the Christmas season. We will celebrate in song and message our blessed hope and true redemption, Jesus the only Son of God.
