NEW Student Ministry Building COMING SOON!

Site prep has begun for our new student ministry building!  This building, designed specially for ministry to students in 6th grade through college, will be located across the creek from our main sanctuary.  We ask for your patience and flexibility as parking spaces and access between parking lots will be limited during construction.  We apologize for the inconvenience but assure you it will be worth it!!  Check back soon for more pictures and updates.

Praise and Thanks

We have been in our newly-renovated sanctuary now for about six months and are so thankful for the extra space God has provided for us through the renovation.  We now have an additional 540 seats in the sanctuary which provides room for more than 1,000 people between our two Sunday morning services.  Our new baptistry has already seen a lot of use, and we are thrilled to have witnessed 48 baptisms since November.  Thank you to each of you for your flexibility during construction.  We appreciate your willingness to worship in the gyms and SMC and to adjust where you parked and entered the building from week to week.  Thank you for showing your support by continuing to attend regularly, pray consistently, and give financially.  We look forward to seeing how God will use our people and facilities to impact our community for His kingdom.

C3 Small Group Summit

What is your PLACE in the mission that Jesus has given us?

It’s always good to remind ourselves of our mission…To exalt Christ by fostering an environment that allows people to become mature, authentic followers of Jesus Christ. (Matt. 28:18-20; Acts 2:42-47; 2 Tim. 2:2)

How are you participating in the mission? We are so thankful for the small group ministry the Lord has raised up here at Silverdale to help accomplish our mission. Are you actively and faithfully involved in a small group? Are you investing your life in others to help them become Jesus’ followers?

Our C3 Small Group Summit is November 16-20, just a couple weeks away. Jay McSwain, founder of PLACE Ministries and chaplain of the Atlanta Braves, will be our keynote speaker to help equip us. You will be challenged to find your PLACE in the Kingdom in reaching others. You will be given the opportunity to be trained to assist in leading a small group and helping others find their PLACE.

You will discover this key truth…You find your life when you give it away in reaching others (Matt. 16:25)!

Hope to see you at C3!
