The act of giving changes us, making us more like our generous Creator. God is the ultimate giver who gave the most precious gift, His son Jesus, to die on the cross for our sins. We are passionate about sharing this message with our communities and with the next generation. Your giving helps transform lives and helps make a difference!

Bible Memory Flashcard | TMS

Growth is Our Goal – Memorize God’s Word As Pastor Rob mentioned, If you want to memorize Scripture but aren’t sure what to memorize or how, the Topical Memory System is a great way to begin your journey to store God’s Word in your heart. It’s simple and easy-to-use — and will help you memorize key verses that point to basic truths and important instruction.

The TMS focuses on how to live a life of Christ-focused, assured discipleship, and the TMS: Life Issues focuses on significant, relevant issues that face us on the road through life, such as anger, dealing with sin, suffering, and knowing God’s will. Link Here
