• Sermon Series - the Gospel of Luke

    Pastor Wyman is currently leading us through The Gospel of Luke.

    If you’d like a great way to follow along, study, and take notes during this series, we highly recommend the CSB Scripture Notebook: Luke. It features the full text of Luke with space beside each passage for personal notes, reflections, and sermon insights.
    You can grab your own copy here:

  • Churchwide prayer emphasis

    Make plans to join us on Saturday, February 28, from 3:00–6:00 PM in the Fellowship Center as we kick off a special, churchwide Prayer Emphasis. The afternoon will include two sessions led by Dave McClung, along with dinner provided for all who attend. This is a free event. If you will need childcare, please be sure to register by February 25 so we can prepare accordingly.

    Dave McClung serves as pastor of Summit Church in Vilonia, Arkansas, where he has faithfully led his congregation to embrace a culture of intentional, passionate prayer. Summit Church is part of the Summit Network, originally founded by Bill Elliff, who partners with the SBC and other ministries to encourage prayer and spiritual renewal across the country.

    We hope you will make plans to join us for this meaningful and impactful time together.

  • One Day Deacon Training

    Due to the winter weather on our original date, our One-Day Deacon Training has been rescheduled. The training will now take place on February 21. Please register again for this new date—even if you registered previously—if you plan to attend.

    All active and inactive deacons are encouraged to participate in this meaningful and practical day of training with Pastor Wyman. This one-day event is designed to refocus, refresh, and strengthen our understanding of the biblical calling of deacon ministry.
    - Saturday, February 21

    - 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

    - Camp Lavida

    - Free (Lunch Provided)

    When early Baptists spoke about deacons, they often used the phrase “serving the three tables,” drawn from Acts 6:1–7, the passage traditionally associated with the beginning of deacon ministry in the church:
    The Table of the Lord
    The Table of the Poor
    The Table of the Pastor

    This powerful model helps keep deacons centered on their primary calling—service and care for the body of Christ. While rooted in Scripture, the Three Tables model is flexible enough to be adapted to the needs of the modern church, making it both timeless and practical.

    During this one-day training, we will explore The Three Tables, discuss their biblical foundation, and consider how this model can be adopted and applied in our church today.
    We strongly encourage every deacon—whether currently active or not—to plan on attending this valuable time of learning and encouragement.

    Ladies Joshua Bible Study

    Ladies, you’re invited to join us for an in-depth and encouraging Bible study through the book of Joshua: Every Good Promise Fulfilled by Jen Wilkin.

    In this 10-session study, we’ll walk through Israel’s story and discover how it connects to ours today as we learn to trust in the finished work of the true and better Joshua—Jesus Christ—while courageously standing firm against the world, the flesh, and the devil.

  • Mens Ministry

    Men, join us for Volume 5 of our men’s Bible study, “A Man and His Marriage,” as we grow together in God’s design for marriage and leadership. Missed the first volumes? No worries—each study stands on its own, and you don’t need to have attended any previous sessions to participate.

    This six-week study addresses important and often misunderstood aspects of marriage, including its biblical foundation, servant leadership, friendship, common threats, and God’s design for intimacy. The study concludes with practical, biblical guidance to help bring new life and strength to your marriage.

    The study begins February 7 and meets on Saturdays from 7:30–9:00 AM in the East Building, Room 130.

    Cost is free, and all men are welcome to join.
