    October 16-November 20

    With Pastor Laura Sambrick


    “Perfect Love is about the potential, the power that is available through faith in Jesus for more than just forgiveness or pardon of past sin, but for radical transformation in your life today.” -Kevin Watson, Author


    Jesus came not only so that we could be forgiven, but so that we could have life abundantly. We can receive empowerment through the Holy Spirit to love God and others because of the love Jesus pours into us. Join us as we discover how to embrace this experience of perfect love in our own lives and share it with others.

  • The Book of Galatians

    Thursdays, 7-8:15 PM

    October 17-November 21

    Led by Pastor Joe DiPaolo


    Beginning October 17, Pastor Joe will lead a 6-week Bible study through Paul’s letter to the Galatians. The book has been noted for its stress on the theme of salvation by grace through faith, and it’s emphasis on our freedom in Christ – it has been called the “Magna Charta of Christian Liberty.” Some of the questions we will consider include: what is the relationship between obedience to the Law and faith? What is the meaning and purpose of our freedom? How does the Holy Sprit empower us and transform us? We will meet at the church on six successive Thursday evenings from 7-8:15, ending on November 21.
