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...

Biblical Observations vs Biblical Commands: What’s the Difference and Why Does it Matter?

January 11, 2020
by Isaac Johnson

I am a person that describes myself as a Christian, which means that I try my best to show others that Jesus is the Lord of my life. That means I do my best to follow the Bible (which is generally accepted as the “rule book” for Jesus followers). So, it stands to reason that the Bible is important to Christians; and since people who love Jesus want to “follow the rules”, they obey the Bible.

Worship Song: All Is Well

February 14, 2020
by Kennon Bickhart

Last week we sang a song called, “All Is Well”. This song deals with some ideas of the sovereignty of God, so I wanted to take a bit to help explain a few key points: What does it mean to say that “God is sovereign”? How is a sovereign God still a good God? What are the implications for me as a Christian?

Ministry Maxims

February 19, 2020
by Mario Villella

Many pastors take time to write out and teach on the values of their church in order to guide decision making. However, I think that there are many leaders out there who mostly only focus on their top-tier values (like in our case it would be: “Love God, love each other, and love people who don’t know God yet”) but they don’t take time to write out their medium-level values.

The First To State His Case Seems Right

August 20, 2020
by Mario Villella

I was recently reminded of this Bible verse: "The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him." ~ Proverbs 18:17. What an important principle to remember. The less bible-y way to say this would be the phrase: “There are two sides to every story.”

Participation Over Attendance

You affect more than you realize at church gatherings. Listen and watch as Mario explains this concept and its effect on the church body.

You Don't Have Everyone's Job

December 10, 2020
by Mario Villella

In this video Mario explains the concept of the church as a body and how the body has many parts with distinct roles. This video was inspired by John Piper's recent article on Desiring God, and this is found scripturally in Romans 12.
