We will be collecting high protein non-perishable food items to support Hope Villages of America as they feed our local community. Unfortunately, because Anona suffered storm damage, we must cancel our Halloweentown. But we know our community is still in need. We invite you to join us instead for a Halloween Drive-Thru Food Drive (Friday 25th 6pm -7pm) Costumes optional but encouraged, look for friendly faces handing out candy for cans!

Enter from Wilcox Road and circle the campus to drop off at the big food truck on Indian Rocks side

Change 4 Change Ministry

Middle & High School Volunteering

What it is: Change 4 Change is a ministry created and run by middle and high school students for over a decade. Every second Sunday of the month (some months are different), our students collect any spare change from congregation members before and after our worship services. Students get to be a part of deciding where the money collected should go to give back to our community!

How to get involved: We have two big ways students can get involved in this mission: (1) sign up to volunteer on collection Sundays and help collect and count change; (2) sign up to be a student-representative at the monthly Missions Meetings to be a voice in making decisions with the team.

Participating in fun events: Throughout the year, we will have fun missional events that utilizes their collections. For example, this December we will be hosting Change 4 Change's annual HEAT Christmas Shopping event! In order to participate in this event, students must volunteer at least 4 times between now and December. If you participate in both Sunday collection shifts during a morning, we'll count that as volunteering 2 times!  Click the button below to sign up!

Please feel free to reach out if you'd like to learn more or have any questions!

Discover what it means to belong to and be blessed by God.
 
We all have to choose: the wide road that leads to destruction or the narrow path that leads to life. The third season of the groundbreaking television show, The Chosen, picks up with how Jesus’ followers apply His teaching to their lives.
 
The Way of the Chosen is an eight-lesson interactive Bible study for individuals or small groups that works in tandem with each episode of the show. In modeling “the narrow road that leads to life” it includes:

·       Forgiving the way Jesus does

·       Going when and where He says to go

·       Grieving what He grieves

·       Standing firm on His words and character

·       Delighting in the things that please Him

·       Asking because He says to

·       Welcoming those He welcomes

·       Trusting His will and way

Readers will be challenged to move from knowing who Jesus is to living out their faith by going the way of the Chosen.
