Welcome to church! We’re so glad you’re here.

It’s my joy to send a greeting from 6,113 miles away! About 20 folks from your Bible Center family are with me in Israel. I look forward to sharing what we learn and bringing even more life to my weekly teaching. Most of all, pray that our Lord will refresh our hearts as we walk where Jesus walked.

Let me also invite you to our first ever Spiritual Gifts Workshop, this Saturday, February 22 (9:00 AM-12:30 PM). Pastors Mike Graham and John King will guide us through biblical teaching on spiritual gifts and provide us with a test to determine our unique gifting.

Why is this important?

First, self-awareness is crucial to our usefulness in God’s kingdom. What were you designed to do? What contribution are you being called to make to God’s family and to the world at large? How has God distinctively wired you for life and ministry?

Furthermore, knowing your spiritual gift enhances your joy. There’s no greater joy than going to sleep each night knowing Jesus used you in the way He designed you.

Finally, this study is directly connected to our mission and strategy as a church. It’s something that we are now incorporating into everyone’s discipleship journey.

Registration is $10 which includes printed materials and lunch. Sign up on the app or at the Connect Table today!

Shalom from the Holy Land,
