ABOUT US

P A U L ' S P R A Y E R for the church is that we might be "filled with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, 10 so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God" Colossians1:9-10.

KNOWING

Central to our faith is knowing the God in whom are faith is placed. Desiring to grow takes more than wishful thinking. We encourage each other in having a plan for growth through Bible reading and prayer as the foundational means to increasing our knowledge of God and our intimacy with him.

BEING

Living a life worthy of the Lord is our highest pursuit, but the Word of God makes it clear we are to do that in community. We emphasize that connecting with others is the privilege and priority for believers to encourage one another towards Christlikeness.

DOING

As faith without works is dead, so a spiritual life without service is incomplete and inconsistent. We value the gifting that every believer has to use in the spiritual growth of Christ's Church and the spreading of the Gospel through love and service in our community and around the world.

What Makes a Hero…Sacrifice

By: Russ Brechbiel

Series: What Makes a Hero?

As we conclude the sermon series, "What Makes a Hero", the last character trait we are going to look at is, Sacrifice. What is God asking you to sacrifice? God ask His son, Jesus to give up his life as a sacrifice for us. Mark 10:45 says, "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his as a ransom for many". We are called to serve. Paul says in Ephesians 5, we are to walk in the way of love, just like Christ loved us and gave his life for us. Walk in the way in love and love like Christ loves us.

What Makes a Hero…Power

By: Russ Brechbiel
Series: What Makes a Hero?
If you could have any superpower, what would it be? What would be the purpose of that power? "With great power, comes great responsibility". Today, we looked at how all power has a purpose. Ephesians 3:20 says, Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us." We have a chance to partake in this power, by trusting Him, humbling ourselves, asking Him, and pushing ourselves.

What Makes a Hero…Honor

By: Russ Brechbiel
Series: What Makes a Hero?
As we continue our sermon series, "What Makes a Hero?". The next trait we look at is Honor. Pastor Russ, asks you a question, "What is your reputation?" Through a set of different superhero clips, we see the progression from someone who has no honor, to an individual that would give up their life because of it. "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God" (2 Corinthians 5:21). Christ is the ultimate example of honor. So, examine yourself and ask the question, who are you when all is stripped away? And remember this, your reputation REpresenting Christ.

What Makes a Hero…Courage

By: Russ Brechbiel
Series: What Makes a Hero?
As we begin our new series, "What Makes a Hero?" we start by talking about courage. Paul writes that he will not be ashamed of Christ but will have courage to exalt Christ whether by life or by death. "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain" (Philippians 1:21). Being courageous is not an easy thing. Paul was in prison because of his courage for Christ. Sometimes, the most courageous thing you can do is to show up when you feel like shutting down.

Exploring the Psalms- Thankfulness

By: Russ Brechbiel
Series: Exploring the Psalms
One of the first things we are taught to say as soon as we can speak is please and thank you. But while we may repeat the words, maintaining an attitude of gratitude can be elusive, and the results can be significant. In this message we look at Psalm 100 and how thankfulness can be an amazing remedy to sadness, selfishness and discontent.

Children's ministry

Kid's are important to God and families at The Source. They are encouraged to participate in our worship service. We have a regular brief children's sermon called 'The D-6 Box' based on Deuteronomy 6, then the kids are dismissed during the message for their own Children's Church where they have a children's choir rehearsal or their own lesson. All volunteers have to submit to a background check and children's ministry training.

Youth Ministry

Our youth ministry includes both middle school and high school students. We follow the same pattern as our church of Knowing, Being and Doing. The knowing comes through digging into God's Word and topics that impact our faith and how we live it out. Being comes through connecting with each other through youth group, events, and various means through we which we can build each other up. And doing is through service as many of our youth serve within the church through worship or children's ministry, as well as the many service projects which The Source takes on throughout the year.

Youth Group meets Wednesdays from 7:30-9:00pm (during normal school year)

Schedule for summer is centered on events and retreats.
