Renovation of the Heart
We’re five weeks into our journey based on Dallas Willard’s Renovation of the Heart! If you missed the start, you can catch up online—watch the Study Sessions, revisit the sermons, and even download a phone wallpaper as a daily reminder throughout this series.
You can also still jump into any of our Family Groups to go through the future Study Sessions, including an open Sunday School in Room 202.

NC Kids “It’s Christmas Time”
October 5
We’re thrilled to announce that our NC Kids Choir will present It’s Christmas Time on Sunday, December 7th! This annual favorite returns —this year, instead of a play, our kids will share the Christmas story through a joyful choir performance. With opportunities for solos and speaking parts, every child from preschool through 5th grade is welcome to participate and shine as part of the celebration.
Rehearsals begin today Sunday, October 5th, and will take place every Sunday afternoon at 12:30 pm in the NC Kids Building. Lunch will be provided every week for kids before rehearsal begins.

Healing Prayer Service
November 2
Join us on Sunday, November 2nd at 4:30pm for a special Healing Prayer Service — a time of peace, prayer, and restoration. Through acoustic worship, reflective prayer, and moments of silence, we’ll create space for God’s healing touch — whether physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual. Prayer teams will be available throughout the service, and you’re welcome to receive prayer, pray for others, or sit in silence with Jesus as you feel led. Come with an open heart and expectant spirit as we bring our hurts to the cross and encounter the God who heals.
Students Fall Retreat
November 7-9
This fall, our students are invited to step into The Way of the Kingdom. Jesus taught that God’s Kingdom is not just something far off in the future, it’s here now, breaking into our world. During this retreat, we’ll explore what the Kingdom of God is, what it looks like in our daily lives, and how we can live as citizens of that Kingdom.
This weekend will be a meaningful chance for students to pause from the noise, grow closer to Jesus, and discover how to live the way of the Kingdom, right here, right now.
Retreat Details:
Grades: 6th–12th
Dates: November 7–9
Location: Camp Oakridge
Cost: $150 (Deposit of $25 required)
Scholarships are available, so please don’t hesitate to reach out if cost is a concern.
