Summer Gazebo Sunday Services for 2024!
This August (and 9/1), we'll be taking our worship back outdoors to the Atlantic Highlands Harbor Gazebo (right at the end of 1st Ave, on Simon Lake Dr.)!

Go Ahead and Bet It All

Unfortunately, however, we don’t have time to look at every last verse (or else the series would be VERY long!), so we have to skip over a few things. I want to highlight one thing
Astounding Faith
A guest blog by Rebecca DeLucia, Next Generation Pastor Have you ever met someone whose faith is so astounding it leaves an impression on you, maybe it even challenges you? I imagine that Rahab was one of those people for the two spies in Jericho. She certainly ought to be for us, as we read her story in Central Reads today. The Israelites had just wandered the desert for 40 years because of their lack of faith in the God whom they saw first-hand
