No Student Services on October 6

This Sunday, October 6, there will be no student services at the Normal Campus. Instead, students will be joining the adult services, where Pastors Brandon Grant and Zach Thompson will speak on how Jesus modeled community. We believe this is a great opportunity for all of us, including students, to come together and hear this important message.

To make space for the students to sit together, we kindly ask those who normally sit in the stage left section (from the center) to find another seat for this service. Our Deaf Community will remain seated in their usual area. Thank you for your understanding!

New to the Bloomington Campus?

If you are new to the Bloomington Campus, please come to the Welcome Center to introduce yourself and to receive a gift we have for you before you leave today. We are so glad you are here and would love to meet you! You can find more information about our campus HERE.

Info Center Volunteer Opportunity

When a person walks into a church service, we never know their back story...did their spouse divorce them this week? Did a loved one die yesterday?

We are in need of volunteers for the 2nd and 4th Sunday's at the 11:00am service, both upper and lower levels, and for 5th Sunday's. Contact Frank Beaty for more information.
