📍 1C Church – Thursday’s at 6PM and Sunday’s 8AM, 9:15AM and 10:30AM

Join us on a road trip full or detours, pit stops, and unforgettable moments of growth.

Each week brings:
🌭 Fun summer surprises
🎶 Great worship
🗺️ A message that will help you grow

You won’t want to miss a mile of this adventure!
Invite a friend, load up the car, and come enjoy the ride with your 1C Church family.

NOTE FROM SHANE:

New Series: “Road Trip” Begins August 7th & 10th

 Most families plan at least one big road trip every summer. It’s something to look forward to because it’s not just about the destination, it’s about who’s with you and what happens along the way.

Starting August 7th & 10th, we’re launching a new three-week series called Road Trip. It’s all about where we’re headed as a church and what it means to keep moving toward the mission Jesus gave us. Over these three weeks, we’ll look at the early church in the book of Acts and see what happens when people say yes to living “Life on Mission.”

 This series is about more than sermons. It’s about momentum. It’s about reaching people who don’t know Jesus. And it’s about every one of us asking, “What’s my role in the story God is writing through this church?”

 If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines, wondering where we’re going or if there’s more ahead, this is the perfect time to jump in.

-Shane Allen

The theme this year is “In Between”, Life is lived in the IN BETWEEN. In between START and FINISH. TAKE OFF and LANDING. DOUBT and CERTAINTY. FEAR and COURAGE. LETTING GO and HOLDING ON.

The IN BETWEEN is not for the faint of heart. It requires tenacity and determination. Choosing to never let go - no matter the hardship. Choosing to remain - even when others choose to walk away. And no matter what - choosing to focus.

Not on ourselves, or on circumstances. Not on our losses, or on victories. But on HIM – the One who holds it all together. From the smallest grain of sand to the farthest unknown galaxy - And everywhere IN BETWEEN.

Join CIY this summer as we experience Jesus in the book of Hebrews and learn to bravely live in the here and now.
