Rock Hard!

Reality Check 08 was a huge success with over 320 in attendance! Candlefuse rocked the house with their concert and then lead us into the presence of God with some amazing praise and worship. Our guest speaker, Marty Burroughs, challenged us to be real heroes in our world. At the altars, 18 made first tie commitments to Christ, 55 recommited their lives to Him, and 18 signed up to be Campus Missionaries!

We'll post some pictures in the next few days!

RC08 T-Shirts Are Here!

Our new Reality Check t's are here! The new design just pops out at you and the super soft athletic fit makes it enjoyable to wear. You can pick yours up at the church for $15 or order via PayPal with a small added S&H fee. Get it while it's hot and available.
