With last Sunday being Father’s Day, I wanted to include some ideas that I shared in my sermon yesterday. If you are a parent or grandparent, the post below details several of the specific and intentional values that I’m trying to imbed in my boys’ life. I would commend to you the books referenced and the values listed as a defining point for you being intentional about parenting and grand-parenting. Excerpt From Chris' Blog Titled Intentional Parenting "Last year, I read Jon Tyson’s book, The Intentional Father. Tyson writes about raising sons with courage and character in a world whose values are often in direct competition to biblical values. As a father of two sons, his book challenged and convicted me. Our children are learning so many things from the culture around them. Most of the technologies that we interact with are simply not neutral. See Jonathan Haidt’s book The Anxious Generation. The values of the culture are more often shaped by the “prince of this world” (Ephesians 2:2) than they are the Bible’s values. These realities convicted me to be more intentional about what I’m teaching my sons." Read More Here

Church Family,

Church Family, With VBS right around the corner (June 22-26) make plans to live out our church’s mission through VBS involvement. Every adult and teen that serves and leads at VBS is helping display and declare the gospel to children in our church and community. Our mission is to lead our neighbors and the nations to follow Jesus by worshiping, learning, serving, and replicating. You can engage in our mission by serving at VBS . Better yet, sign up to serve and invite someone to serve alongside you. That’s one way we fulfill the fourth mission step and replicate leaders. Follow the link below to register as a volunteer for VBS. Also, on June 10-11, the annual meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention will take place. Pray for our denominational gathering next week. Grace and Peace, Pastor Chris

Evaluating Our Role in Our Church's Mission

Summary of the May 2025 Business Meeting

Welcoming Music Minister Candidate

Church Family, You will receive a letter this week from the Minister of Music Search Committee officially introducing our candidate for Minister of Music. In the coming weeks, you will see a video introduction as well as have the opportunity to meet the candidate. Please continue to pray for WBC during this process of introduction, presentation, and vote. I want to say a special thank you to the Minister of Music Search Committee (Michelle Sullivan, Chair; LuAnn Love; Alisa Anderson; Molly Nichols; Terry Carroll; Larry Gray; Brandon Johnson). We are grateful for the work of Shepherd Staffing as well for providing us candidates and searching on our behalf. And now a brief word for our members/attenders. Spring is always a busy season with the end of school, year end programming for church events, sports, holidays, and preparation for summer events, trips, and schedules. We calendar and plan for what is important to us. Think trips, graduations, vacations, important meetings, etc. Don’t let the busyness of the season or of your life push God off of your calendar. If you share a family calendar, how about putting several things on your calendar for the next couple of months: Sunday AM worship services, Member Meeting May 18 at 5:30 PM. We need the rhythms of worship (see the Sabbath commandment in Exodus 20), rest (Gen. 1; Hebrews 4), and community (Acts 2:42-47). Hope to see you and worship with you this week! Grace and Peace, Pastor Chris
