We want to be the local church Jesus had in mind - continuing to help each other take a step closer to God and to each other through Christ. And, as Jesus told his followers, take the good news of his gospel andhis kingdom to all nations….that is, to all people groups….nearby and far away.
This weekend we will have a chance to host and hear from our global partners who are coming to us from around the world…..to help our church and each of us grow in our global awareness and engagement, and in our obedience to Jesus.
Everyone is invited, and all events will take place at Sandusky campus.
We wanted to let you know that we are getting ready now for our upcoming Child Dedications that will happen during our weekend services, October 18-19. Child Dedication is an act of the parents committing themselves and their child to Jesus and following him. It is also a commitment of our church family to pray for and encourage parents and their children spiritually. To prepare for this, we have a next step for you as parents. We will offer two separate times for an important child dedication information meeting and you can choose to attend either one.
Child Dedication Information Meetings will be offered at all campuses on Tuesday, October 7th at 6pm.
Beginning in October we are offering two small groups to support men and women in their recovery from unwanted sexual behaviors and healing betrayal trauma.there is a group for women called, "Betrayal and Beyond" and it will meet on Sunday nights. The other group for men is called "Seven Pillars" and they will meet on Monday nights. For more information email puredesire@thechapel.family
We want our lives to be undeniably marked by Jesus’ rule in our hearts. This is the inspiration behind the upcoming “Marked” women’s retreat. We’ll focus on the first part of our vision: to Know Jesus. Together, we’ll explore what it means to spend personal time with God through solitude, scripture, and prayer. We’ll worship, connect with one another, and enjoy the Lakeside community.
