2026 WORLD MISSION FOCUS π
HOW CAN THEY HEAR?: A 2026 Vision for Gospel Access
"How can they hear about him unless someone tells them?" (Romans 10:14)
This question defines our calling. Around the world, countless people have never met a believer or heard the name of Jesus. They live without access to the gospel - longing for hope, waiting for someone to come and share the love of Christ.
AGWM missionaries already serve among many of the world's least-reached peoples, but they are also pioneering among the unengaged who have no gospel presence. Like the shepherd who left the 99 to find the one that was lost, the Lord calls us to go until all have heard.
Over the next few weeks, we will focus on our continued commitment to Missions and set our budget for support in 2027. Please be in prayer about your missions pledge for next year!

CELEBRATION SUNDAYS: BRING SOMEONE WITH YOU π«
October 25th, November 22nd, and December 20th
We're excited about our new monthly Celebration Sunday! One Sunday a month, we'll gather as a church family for a special time of worship, encouragement, and celebration as we give thanks for all God is doing among us.
Think about the people you encounter every day - your friends, family members, coworkers, neighbors, or even someone you've been praying for. There may be someone in your life who is looking for hope, searching for answers, or simply longing for a place where they feel welcomed and loved. What if your invitation could be the first step? One invitation can open a door. One Sunday can make a difference. One person is worth reaching. As we celebrate each month, let's make it our goal to bring someone with us. Let's celebrate together - and make room for those who need to experience what God is doing!
LADIES FALL EVENT ππ§£
Grab your favorite sweater, bring a friend, and come enjoy a cozy night around the fire! This event is all about relaxing, connecting, laughing, and making memories together.
There's something special about gathering around a fire - good conversation seems to come a little easier, laughter comes a little more freely, and friendships have a chance to grow. Whether you've been part of our church family for years or you're brand new, you're invited! We can't wait to see you around the fire π
- Friday, October 23rd at 6:30 PM
- Meet us in the shelter house
- Bring a chair and/or blanket
MAKE ROOM FOR PRAYER
As we head into the busy holiday season, letβs make room for what matters most - time in Godβs presence. Our November Prayer Conference is an opportunity to slow down, come together in faith, and seek the Lord for ourselves, our families, our church, and our community.
But we donβt want our prayers to stop within the walls of the church! During this conference, weβll be forming prayer teams to go our into different areas of our city over the next few weeks and pray over our community. Together, we can cover our city in prayer, believe for lives to be changed, and ask God to move in powerful ways!
