What We Believe
Notes for Sunday, November 15
Join us in the sanctuary at 9am as we start a 6-week study on the Baptist Faith & Message 2000. To prepare for the study, you can order the study guide (click here) or simply review the statement of faith online (click here). This week, Pastor Nate will offer a brief history of the BFM and together we will be studying Article 1, "The Scriptures."
With only two weeks left in our "Living for Eternity" series, Pastor Nate will finish his teaching on spiritual gifts by teaching on their importance in the body, the necessity for every member to be exercising their individual gift, and by answering the question, "Have some gifts ceased?"
Please pray for Pastor Nate as he prepares this message. If you were not able to listen to his previous message, visit our "Sermons" page to hear it before this Sunday.
