Imagine leaving a life of privilege and power to face angry mobs, painful imprisonment, and chain-breaking earthquakes—all to spread the life-changing truth of God's love—register now to be part of this Athens VBS!
VBS will be held July 21, 2013 through July 25, 2013.
The temple and all of its furnishings are completed, and the temple is ready to be dedicated. But before the dedication can happen, one more thing is needed – the Ark of the Covenant. Remember the how the waters of the Jordan River were parted when those carrying the Ark first stepped into the water. Remember how the Ark was carried around the walls of Jericho seven times before the city was destroyed. The Ark was the very presence of God among the people.
As the Ark was carried into the Temple, the presence of God filled the place like a thick smoke, reminding the people of the presence of God as He led the people out of Egypt as a pillar of smoke by day and as a pillar of fire by night. The same God who delivered them then is with them then.
And that same God is still with us. Even though we might not experience smoke filling the church during worship (because if we did we would call the fire department), even though He is not physically visible in our day to day life, He is with us always!

We Are a Friendly Church
You'll like the warm atmosphere and the genuine interest shown in you. We try hard to see that "you're a stranger only once."
We Are a Christ Centered Church
We proclaim Jesus Christ as the only Savior of men. Our task is to bring people to Christ and Christ to people. We believe the Bible alone holds the keys to the basic question of life.
We Are a Purposeful Church
We believe that God saved people for a purpose. Through Christ He wants to give people an abundant life. That life is expressed in loving service to God and others.

May 12, 2013
Today is the last day of Sunday School. Today's lesson taught the children that Jesus, our risen Savior, ascended into heaven to prepare a place for us there with Him. As a family, talk about heaven and what it will be like. Look up passages in God's Word that speak of heaven especially look at Revelation 22. Ask the children to tell you about Jesus' ascension & what it means for them.
