2011 CIY Move

We had an AWESOME time this year at CIY Move in Knoxville, Tennessee!  Our students were really challenged this year to surrender their lives fully over to Christ.  Several students made decisions after CIY to: rededicated their lives to Jesus, pursue full time vocational ministry, believe in Jesus as God, mentor a younger student, make a lifelong commitment to get involved with the church body, go on a mission trip, memorize Matthew 5-7, fast, teach a bible study, and much more!  God really did an AMAZING thing with our high school students this year!  I'm so blessed to be a part of it!

Dessert Auction promo

Hey everyone!  We got some requests to upload our dessert auction promotional video from Palm Sunday.   Here it is...

Remember to join us for our dessert auction on May 1st after church service.  It will be SUPER FUN!

Check out this slideshow from our 2011 Mission Arlington trip!  I'm sorry there is no music, but the file was too large with the music.

One day at Mission Arlington, while one of our students was teaching the children at the apartment complexes, an ice cream truck went by...twice.  Now most children would see and ice cream truck and start running toward it.  But it was like a Holy Spirit moment instead.  These kids were so hungry for the word of God that NOT ONE child turned their head to even look at the ice cream truck.  I was in awe at how God was using our students to teach His word to the children in Arlington.  God is awesome!

Think Biblically

Our youth watched this compelling video in our Wednesday night study.  We were challenged to THINK BIBLICALLY.
