We’re excited to partner with iChoose Pregnancy Support Services through their Baby Bottle Blessings Campaign!

Beginning on Mother’s Day, May 10th, and continuing through Father’s Day, June 21st, we invite you to take home a baby bottle and fill it with coins, cash, checks, or simply scan the QR code to give electronically. Once your bottle is filled, please return it to the designated bins in the lobby by June 21st.

This is an easy and meaningful way to support a Christ-centered ministry that reaches men and women facing unplanned pregnancies, as well as those hurting from the heartbreak of a past abortion, with the hope and help found in Jesus Christ.

iChoose Pregnancy Support Services provides free services including ultrasounds, options counseling, parenting classes, maternity and baby items, post-abortion care, and Bible studies. Through this ministry, over 1,056 little lives have been saved.

Thank you for praying, giving, and helping make a difference for life!

We would like to inform our church family that our translation assistance will no longer be available during our worship service starting on June 28.

This summer, we’re hosting a Middle School Missions Stay—a local, hands-on opportunity for students to serve and share the love of Jesus right here in our community.

What will we be doing?

• Tuesday & Wednesday: Serving alongside local ministries such as With Love From Jesus (praying with individuals, restocking shelves, cleaning, and assisting with shopping), House of Hope (yard work and helping care for their grounds), and Love Life (assembling baby boxes and spending time in prayer near a local abortion center through a peaceful prayer walk) and Raleigh Dream Center (inviting the homeless to dinner and bible study, eating dinner with them and showing them the love of Christ)! Through these opportunities, students will meet practical needs, encourage others, and share the love of Christ.
