  • Kid's Musical - Sermon on the Mound

    Sunday, May 20th at 9am and 11am. The kid's musical, Sermon on the Mound, centers on spring training for the Eagles baseball team. Mac Wire, the rookie, has been training with the team for forty days and forty nights and is distraught by possible mistakes he could make during a game...tripping in the outfield, dropping the ball, striking out. 


    He quickly learns many lessons on the field, but the biggest changes take place in his heart as God teaches him about playing on His team, spending time with the "Head Coach," and suiting up with the armor of God.

  • Dr. Peasley recently conducted a 4-day Bible Conference covering the book of Ruth. The book of Ruth is the Narrative of a love story, yet also has some important Genealogy.  In this 4-part series, Dr. Peasley unpacks this remarkable book that contains many principles with profound impact to our lives today.  


    In addition, we had an opportunity to sit down with Dr. Peasley to learn more about him, his ministry and life abroad as The Evangelist.

Life is full of uncertainties.  One day things are going well and the next it seems the apple cart has been turned upside down. “When Darkness Closes In” is a fall spiritual growth series designed to encourage, build up and equip Christians to walk by faith and trust God in prayer through trying times. John 1:5 says, “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not understood it.” Inspired by the miraculous healing of Yvette Rindels from blindness, the Rindels will share what God has taught them through their trials.


You will learn how God is in control in all situations, how He is glorified through our hardships, how His grace is sufficient, how there is power in many people praying, the role of faith in miracles, and how believers should react when their prayers appear to not be answered.  There is a way to walk in victory when darkness closes in!
