Francine & myself thank our church family for supporting my education these last two years at Emmaus Bible College. I want to let you know that I have been accepted to clinical mental health counseling at Missouri Baptist University for my Master’s program. Stay blessed, family. We love you all!

Thank you for allowing us to use the church for Logan’s graduation party. Everything went very well and we didn’t have to worry about bugs or weather.

We are so grateful for our loving church family! Your many and varied expressions of lovingkindness as our family experienced COVID over the past few weeks have been such a blessing. You have been there for us with your prayer support, words of encouragement, practical acts of assistance (like meals prepared, groceries delivered, lawn mowed), and more. Thank you! We love you!

What is REVERB? During REVERB, we’re going to consider those actions that must be repeated over and over for us to perpetuate and to reverberate the movement of Jesus in our world! We will focus on 4 areas: REMAIN — Disciple-makers love God with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength.
RELATE — Disciple-makers love their neighbors as themselves.
RECLAIM — Disciple-makers proclaim Christ to a lost world.
REPEAT — Disciple-makers help others to love God, love people, and make disciples. These are the VERBS of a REVERB generation.
