This series is a walkthrough of the book of Hosea.

The Blog

Sometimes there are thoughts that we'd love to share with you, but they really don't fit anywhere in particular. So we have a blog for just such items.

Sermon Archive

We also have a large archive of all of our previous sermon series. Feel free to have a listen.

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...

To Mask or Not To Mask?

September 6, 2020
by Mario Villella

No doubt you’ve noticed there’s been quite an uproar in our country about masks over the last three months. Some people have recently wondered why I’ve been “silent” about this issue.

God's Church, Many Ministers

September 6, 2020
by Heidi Villella

Good News Church has been blessed for years with many people with different spiritual gifts, different experiences and different maturity levels. We are one big family that God has brought together. While we look for an associate pastor, I wanted to give you an update on how we fill in those roles until that search is complete.

Ending the livestream. Why did you do this? Are you trying to hurt us?

August 25, 2020
by Mario Villella

No, and I am sorry if it came across that way. I’ve never pastored a church during a pandemic before and I’m trying to do the best that I can. Some of us in leadership (but not all of us) are concerned about the effect of “internet church.” Some of us, myself included, believe that it is actually not good for people to watch something on a screen and believe that they have “gone to church online.”

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.”

Announcing “Almost Back to Normal Sunday” (June 7) and hopefully “Back to Normal Sunday” (July 5)

June 2, 2020
by Mario Villella

As many of you know, we’ve begun meeting again for “in-person church services” for a month now. And by “in-person church services” I simply mean what everyone meant when they said the words, “church services,” three months ago. We’ve been moving back to normal, with more people coming back to church as the month of May went on. We’ve restarted KidZone for our youngest age groups (pre-Kindergarten) and plan on adding more age-groups this week.

What Do Community Groups Look Like Here at Good News Church?

February 19, 2020
by Isaac Johnson

Here at Good News, we love Community Groups, and we love how they bring people together. We also know that most every church has something similar. They might be called Life Groups, Care Groups, Home Groups, Study Groups, Community Groups, or even Accountability Groups.
