Year-End Giving

As we approach the end of the year, let us consider how we may prepare and make room for God’s purposes this season through tithes and offerings. Year-end gifts that can be made include cash contributions, stock and appreciated securities, retirement plan assets and IRAs, real estate, charitable lead trusts, and proceeds from the sale of a business. Through a timely gift, you may also have the potential to realize significant tax deductions. To be considered for this calendar year, make sure your gift is given by Tuesday, December 31, 2024.

If you have any questions about giving opportunities, feel free to contact Pastor Clifton Wise.

Missions Sunday

Save the date for Missions Sunday on Sunday, January 12th. After our services, representatives from our mission partners will be with us in the lobby to share more about their work. In addition, we'll be hosting a special mission-focused service that evening with breakouts from our missionary partners. 

Family Dedication

We will be hosting a Family Dedication on Saturday, February 1st. This service is a sweet time to gather and celebrate the gift of your child as you dedicate your parenting and home to the Lord (Joshua 24:15). There will also be a time of prayer and encouragement from pastoral leadership. The service is planned for families with children 2 years of age and younger. However, if your children are older and your family hasn't participated in a Family Dedication service before, you are welcome to register.

Care & Discipleship Training with Pastor Dan

Do you have a heart for the Lord and a desire to learn and grow spiritually while being equipped to walk with others relationally? Do people seem to naturally confide in you and ask you for advice or guidance? Then you should consider taking this Care & Discipleship Training (formerly Care Mentor Training) on Wednesday, January 15th. In this training, you will spend a semester in Biblical Theology and a semester in Biblical Care & Discipleship, learning how to share Truth in Love. 

STEPS

Admitting our brokenness isn't easy, and so often, we believe we are better than we truly are. This 14-week discipleship program, beginning on January 19th, 5:30 PM, takes people to the root of sin and suffering to embrace the freedom found only in Christ's redemption. In STEPS, participants will experience life-changing opportunities brought about by daily in-depth Bible study, personal assessments, insightful large-group teaching videos, and honest weekly interactions with a mentor and small group. Don't buy the lie that you are alone or that you can "fix this" on your own. 

DivorceCare Care Class

Healing from divorce can be a long and painful process. DivorceCare is a 13-week recovery class that combines personal study with video seminars in a friendly, caring support group. We will walk with you through one of life’s most difficult experiences. You will learn how to heal from the deep hurt of divorce and discover hope for your future. Don’t go through separation or divorce alone.

The Chat Is Back - Yvonne Borgna

In 2021, we did a series on our podcast called The Chat which featured several of our pastors and leaders. We were able to hear personal testimonies, calls to ministry, and get a glimpse at what God is doing around Waypoint. We are excited to announce that we are doing another round called The Chat - Part Two. We are blessed with several new staff members as well as some different roles for some existing staff. We will be releasing new episodes every Thursday for the next several weeks. We hope you enjoy getting to know a little more about some of our leaders!
