A Little Background:

Lottie Moon was sent as a Southern Baptist missionary to China from 1873 to 1912. She saw firsthand the world’s greatest problem — LOSTNESS. Meeting so many people who had never heard the gospel compelled her to write letters to American churches describing the need for a greater missionary presence. She pleaded for increased prayer and financial support to send and sustain more missionaries. This challenge became known as the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering®.

This year our goal at High Tide Church is $35,000.

We want to  thank you for how you give each year to this amazing ministry and know the your giving is used 100% to support IMB missionaries around the world. Thank you church!

Baptism. Do you have questions?

Are you asking, "Do I need to get baptized? Is my child ready to be baptized? Am I ready to be baptized? I have so many questions and am not sure where to turn...HELP!"

We realize there are many questions regarding baptism and we want to help you understand this Biblical action. Does Baptism save you? No, only Jesus can save you—baptism is an outward expression of the inward transformation that happens when you accept Christ as your Savior. ONLY JESUS CAN SAVE YOU.  If you are not sure about any of this, we hope you will come to a NEXTSTEP CLASS or stop by to the Welcome Desk so we can talk with you. Elders, deacons, staff and volunteers are always available to talk with you. Our heart is that you know Jesus as your Savior and we want you to know that we are here to help you! You are loved!

What is Currents?

It’s no secret that this world presents many challenges. As young adults graduate from high school, it’s important for them to have a group that they can connect with and grow in God’s Word. That’s where CURRENTS comes in. We meet each Sunday at 11am and study the Word of God, share in amazing conversations and develop strong and lasting friendships. We support each other and help encourage each other. The currents of this world can have us moving from one place to another, but with our foundation rooted securly in Jesus, we can navigate through these highs and lows. For more information about Currents, please contact Lynn Davis. EMAIL LYNN

rss TANYA'S CELEBRATION OF LIFE

circleheart  Our beautiful sister, Tanya, has gone to be with the Lord. This is a hard time as we experience this loss — but we remember that Tanya is rejoicing with the Lord, where there is no more sickness, or hurting or sorrow. This amazing woman has touched thousands of lives. She was an example of true love. She loved Jesus with all of her heart and shared that love with every person she met. She was a wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend. Please lift Pastor Andy and the entire Ehlers family and Davis family in prayer as they walk through this time. May the peace and comfort of our Lord and Savior cover them and give them the strength and courage they need. Thank you church for praying.
