Pastor Dan will be preaching at all three services on“The Perfect Candidate” (1 John 4:16b-19).
“And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.We love because he first loved us.”
Pender’s Vision Statement:
By following Jesus and reaching out to others, we seek God’s transformation of ourselves and our world.

Pastor Jay preached at all 3 services. Often it feels like we live in a crowded world – there are many of us! And yet, each of us is one . . . unique . . . loved as a child of God. Do you ever wonder about your uniqueness, how you stand out, what makes you distinctive? Is it the way you dress, or walk, or say “Y-All,” or chew on an ear of corn? Jesus has def […]
Pastor Dan preached at the 8:15 and 11:00 services. This month of June is one of endings and beginnings. The school year is ending as pools open and summer finally begins in earnest. For some, their high school or college journey has come to an end, and the next stage of life begins with great hope and expectation! We celebrated these achievements at our 11a […]
Pastor Jay preached at all 3 services. When we talk with each other about taking risks, we often hear phrases like all or nothing or go big or go home or taking a big leap . Yet if we were honest, we would need to admit that sometimes our risking and trusting are very calculated, weighing our options and our potential gain or loss. As the apostle Paul conclu […]

It’s a day when typically we try to act like everything is fine. We try to stay on our best behavior. Ye […]
Pastor Jay preached at all 3 services. One of the things we all know about preschool kids is that we rarely have to wonder if they are “in the house” with us. They have many amazing and sometimes alarming ways of letting us know they are present. Our worship theme on “households” has been looking at the impact that Jesus makes when “Jesus Is In the House!” B […]
Pastor Jay preached at all 3 services. Ever heard that saying, the family that prays together, stays together? So if this is true we might find ourselves wondering why so many families are flying apart! And then there is the church – a big family of believers, and they pray a lot too. So why is the church family flying apart? Our worship series is taking a c […]
Pastor Dan preached at all 3 services. Jesus is in the house! Did you know that? If we claim to follow him, Jesus is in our household of faith, the Church, and in our households of family and friends, however they are composed. So then, how are we to live within our households if Jesus is there? This is the fundamental question that Paul addresses in his fir […]
