ALPHA: VIDEO SERIES
THURSDAYS STARTING SEPTEMBER 26 | 6PM
What is Alpha?
The Alpha course is an evangelistic course which seeks to introduce the basics of the Christian faith through a series of talks and discussions. It is described by its organizers as "an opportunity to explore the meaning of life".
Their goal is to continually support the church with resources and tools that help create a space where people are excited to bring their friends for a conversation about Jesus. The Alpha Film Series and Alpha Youth Series were designed to take guests on a journey of faith over multiple weeks. Each session covers a key element of the gospel in a way that is easy-to-follow and leaves space for people to explore their questions about life, faith, and God.

SHARING SERVICE: THE DISCIPLINE OF TESTIMONY
JANUARY 7, 2024
My mouth will tell of your righteous acts,
of your deeds of salvation all the day,
for their number is past my knowledge.
It is good and right for God’s people to share together about the good things that God is doing. And it’s our practice to do this the first Sunday of every year. Sharing services always encourage our church and build us up. This year’s sharing service also kicks off a month of focusing on the spiritual discipline of testimony. We will both give ideas for practicing testimony sharing, and also give time in our Sunday services to share about our experiences of practicing this sharing. Would you be so brave as to pray, listen, and consider whether God has some things that he wants you to share?
Office closed
DEC 25-JAN 1 2024
The church office will be closed from December 25th to January 1st. If you are in need of pastoral care, please contact Pastor Jason.

Fort Family and Friends!
The fact that we’re celebrating our 50th year isn’t the only reason that this September is a special one.
It’s a time to anticipate not just a return after summer, but a bigger return together after the complexities of the past couple of years. This will be the biggest kickoff we’ve had in a few years. Whether you’ve been gone for the past couple weeks, months or years we’re asking you to all to prayerfully save the date.
Our worship gathering happens at 10am with worship, connection, and the start of our Fall series.
We’ll serve up hot dogs and corn on the cob for a picnic after the service. The church family will provide salads and desserts, and there will be activities for kids and adults alike. We hope to see you there!
Note: We are asking that the people attending please bring a salad if their last name begins with A - M or a nut-free dessert if their last name begins with N - Z.
