Ruth's Journey To Bethlehem

In this short, 2-part, series, we'll explore how Ruth's journey from Moab to Bethlehem was inspired by God so that the prophecy of Jesus' birth in Bethlehem would be fulfilled.

Music

We maintain a few shared playlists on Apple Music & Spotify. They serve two purposes: To allow you to learn songs before we sing them, and to listen to a wider array of songs that we have sung corporately for the life of Good News.

Financial Support

The stewardship of our finances is a tremendous—and often overlooked—area of our lives where we can faithfully proclaim the gospel. Giving strengthens our devotion to Christ and frees us to live open-handedly with the gifts God gives us. We trust in Him and His provision instead of our perceived self-sufficiency. As people of faith, we give faithfully and generously.

Give Your Money

Volunteer

Just as we can donate from our finances, we can also donate our time. In this way you can help serve people inside, and outside, the church body. We have many ways in which you can serve:

Ways To Give Your Time

  • Greeting people (new & old)
  • Coffee Corner Setup & Service
  • Lawn maintenance & care
  • Teaching Bible Lessons to kids
  • Watching babies, so the mother & father can attend the service
  • etc...

Why Do We Have Intermission?

At Good News, we feel that it is very important that we explain to you not only what we do, but why we do what we do. In this article, I wanted to answer the question, “Why do we have an intermission during Good News church services?”

Some of you may already know this, but I don’t try to personally take care of every issue or problem related to Good News Church (the organization) or Good News Church (the people).

Why are the Community Groups at Good News Semester-based?

October 21, 2015
by Mario Villella

Not too long ago, I was asked, “Why are the community groups at Good News semester-based?” The person went on to reason, “It seems if that, if the goal of the groups is for the people to get to know and care for each other, you wouldn’t to have them be so temporary.” This question makes sense. How can you get to know someone in just 10-16 weeks? And how can you really care for people if you are switching out your church friends every semester? Good points. So, let me explain...
Building Update

Building Update

November 14, 2015
by Mario Villella

I would guess that the question that I get asked most often about the new building is, "When do they think it will be finished?" So, I figured I'd answer that in print. The truth is the contractor hasn't given us a guaranteed finish date. There are things like weather conditions that can cause a project to move faster or slower. However, right now, our goal is to have the building finished before Easter 2016. Hopefully we will get a few weeks to work the bugs out of our new building (sound systems, air conditioning, whatever) before our highest attendance Sunday of the year.

A couple weeks ago, during the Good News church services we were taught by Ken Kebrdle from Wear Gloves, a ministry that reaches out to the distressed and homeless. On that Sunday, as I introduced Ken, I mentioned that he is a local missionary who our church supports. And that same morning, someone who seemed to be quite impressed with Ken and Wear Gloves had a conversation with me that went something like this...
