Help Parents Prioritize God at Home
Rockingham Christian Church, where I serve, has quickly become more and more "orange."

However, it was totally worth it. Today, at RCC, I was privileged to baptize 3 teenage boys who have … Continue reading What a Day!

We just split the middle school and high school up into two separate groups today called "The Path" and "The Bridge" respectively. Two of our high school students have been collaborating on a video series we've called The … Continue reading The Bridge Weekend Update 2-15-2009
