Aaron Dawson, our Missional Life Minister, preaches a message about giving and receiving today.

Today, we introduce a new ministry to our church: Stephen Ministry. Stephen Ministry trains and equips our church to walk one-on-one with others in crisis. Special guest speakers are Darra Lansman, Tara Souder, Scott Gwinn and Joey Drumright.

God has uniquely gifted all of us for works of service in His kingdom, for His Name!

We kick off a new sermon series called “Gifted to Serve” this week!

Brian Starr preaches to us on the biblical theme of leadership as our church enters its elder selection process..

In this sermon, Barry walks us through the development and meaning of our church's Identity statement: When we are at our best, we are a Christ-centered, Grace-Oriented, Spirit-Led church. Identity statements are not just about who we ARE, but also about who we want to BECOME.

After a summer spent focusing on the fruit of the Spirit, we end with this question: how will we be known? How will YOU be known?

Self-control is the soil in which the rest of the fruit of the Spirit is grown. Guest preacher David Fraze walks us through the importance of self-control in our lives.

This summer is flying by, and so is our summer sermon series! This week focuses on the characteristic of GENTLENESS as a part of the fruit of the Spirit.

Faithfulness is the seventh characteristic of the fruit of the Spirit.

We use the word “good” a lot in our culture today. What does scripture have to say about what is truly good? And how do we cultivate that kind of goodness in our lives?

Barry walks us through the fruit of the Spirit of kindness.

Patience is a virtue, but it’s also one aspect of the fruit of the Spirit. How are you doing with patience these days?

Peace in this world? Is that even possible?

The second part of the fruit of the Spirit is Joy…what does choosing joy look like in today’s world, and how can we pour that joy out to those around us?

We kick off our summer series on the Fruit of the Spirit by asking, “Do we treat the fruit of the Spirit like a check-list?” What kind of fruit is Holy Spirit producing in our lives?

We conclude our series on the Holy Spirit with Aaron Dawson (Missional Life Minister) speaking to us…what is the difference between “capturing” the wind, and “catching” the wind?

The greatest manifestation of the Spirit’s presence in the life of a believer is that one is transformed more and more into the image of Christ. Likewise, a church led by the Spirit is transformed more and more into the image of Christ.

Senior Sunday is a big, exciting time for us at Monterey to celebrate all of our high school graduating seniors and to pray over and bless them in their next phase of life!

The Holy Spirit is a very important part of our lives as a church body.l

What does the role of the Holy Spirit look like today?
