MIDWEEK FELLOWSHIP MEAL

Join us for our Midweek Meal each Wednesday in the Gym from 5-6 pm.  Fellowship with those you know and meet new friends!  Invite someone new! Dinner is $5/adults and $3/child (10 & under).

"And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved." ~ Acts 2:46-47 

HELP US REACH WARNER ROBINS & THE WORLD!

Just recently our church family voted with a 91.5% to affirm our Planning and Vision Team's proposal to build a new and expanded worship center that will help us accomodate the phonomenal growth we've had this year!  We owe all the glory to God for growing our congregation!  Let us unite as the body of Christ in order to continue the work He's given us to do as a church family to spread the Gospel and disciple His sheep.  How can you help in this endeavor?  First, be in fervent prayer for the Lord to guide you in how He would have you respond to this opportunity.  Second, if God is leading and equipping you to give financially, there are several ways you can do this. Click HERE to find out more about giving to REACH.  And remember – our goals through REACH are to: Reflect the Goodness of God, Equip the Next Generation, Advance the Kingdom, Create Belonging, and Hope for Tomorrow.
