UPDATE FROM PASTOR JOSH

FALL KICKOFF

Watch this brief video from Pastor Josh to find out what’s new and exciting this fall at Woodmen. Then check out 10 great opportunities below to join in the life of the church as we seek to love well and change lives through Christ.

THE STORY OF JESUS: Kingdom & Power

Pastor Josh will be back with us this weekend to begin a brand new teaching series from the Gospel of Luke. There have been many people and events that changed the course of humanity, but everything falls short of Jesus, the Son of God. Together, we’ll explore the hallmarks of His’ life, the power of His ministry and the obstacles He faced. And we’ll discover how we can follow Him more closely in 2025.

SATURDAYS IN THE HEART OF THE CITY

Our Downtown Campus is growing! We’re excited to launch a 6 PM Saturday night service this weekend. A third service means room for more people to experience the hope of Jesus and the joy of belonging to a caring community. It also means more opportunities to serve. Together we can welcome more folks and see them come to know the saving love of Jesus. Interested in serving? Get started HERE.

STEP INTO COMMUNITY

The second chapter of the book of Acts gives us a glimpse into the life of the first-century church: Christ-followers gathering in homes, studying God’s word, breaking bread and participating in close community. What if we could follow their example? That’s where Community Groups come in! Groups gather in homes throughout the year, opening up the scriptures, doing life together, and growing in faith and understanding. New groups kick off next week, so now is the time to join! Find your group RIGHT HERE.

52 STORIES

This weekend also kicks off a Year of Story at Woodmen! We’ll share a fresh story from the Woodmen community every week, and we’ll get a glimpse of how our days are being written by God, the master storyteller! We’ll see how each of our stories point to the grandest, truest and best story of all: The good news of Jesus! To discover more, CLICK HERE.

THIRD THURSDAYS HEADING DOWNTOWN

Join us on the night of September 18 for music and Christ-centered teaching centered around the challenges and hopes of life from college age through your 20s.
