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.

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.
