NOTHING BUT CHRIST
Have you ever felt like you didn’t know enough or have it all together enough for God to use you? Join us this Sunday as we continue Built Different with “Nothing but Christ,” a look at 1 Corinthians 2:1–5. Paul’s arrival in Corinth might surprise you—and challenge what you think it takes to make a difference in someone’s life. Come ready to discover what happens when faith meets our fears and insecurities.
Join us at Tompkins High School at 10:00 am. The link to watch LIVE is on our YouTube Channel. You can go to our home page on our website or our App to connect.
This week's order of worship can be found here!
God bless,
Pastor Scott
