Building Hope for Cedar Valley

Building Hope for Cedar Valley is a giving campaign to establish a permanent church home through the purchase and transformation of the building our congregation currently calls home. This space will support our growing church family as we continue to grow in faith, be equipped to live it out, and reach out to the world around us to share the everlasting love of Jesus Christ!

Earlier this month, our church family stepped forward together to launch this important initiative, trusting God to guide each step of the journey . The campaign will culminate in a special processional offering on Sunday , February 22, as we prayerfully place our commitments before the Lord and celebrate what He is already doing among us.

A final update on pledged giving will be shared in early March. As God provides through the generosity of this community , we look forward to moving ahead with plans to acquire St. Paul’s Lutheran Church and pursue future improvements that support long-term ministry right here in the Cedar Valley!

The Sermon on the Mount

The Sermon on the Mount is the longest and most well-known of the teachings that Jesus delivers in the Gospels. In it, Jesus unveils the beautiful Kingdom that Jesus came to usher into the world. He teaches (among other things) about those whom God blesses, the need for God’s law and grace, the gift of generosity, and how to deal with worry. Don’t miss this power-packed four-week series as we dive into this powerful teaching.
