A-HA Continues/All In Baptisms!
This week I will be continuing our A-HA! message series with the story of Nathanael. He was one of Jesus’ disciples. But when his friend Philip approached him and told him to come see the Messiah from Nazareth, well, let’s just say Nathanael was about to receive a much-needed “A-HA!” moment. If you’d like to read ahead and be caught …

A Special Announcement from Doug and Teri Watts, and a note from Pastor Josh
I still remember the first time I heard the big booming voice of Doug Watts. He has a voice that could be used for commercials, radio, and movie trailers! He said, “Josh, hello, you are on speaker phone because I am in a room full of people who want to interview you for our open youth pastor position.” Doug’s gentle …
