A Possible New Name
For Our Historic Church!
Names are important. They're how others know us and they tell a story about who we are. Right now our historic church — 97 years in our community — is seeking a new name that would better convey our mission.
The name we believe could serve us into our future is Vida Church. It's a dual-language, Spanish-English name that represents who we are! And because VIDA means LIFE in Spanish, it boldly proclaims the good news of Jesus — that life can be found in Him.
We are NOT changing our church! But we do believe a new name could help build a new bridge to the community we love.
The information below will help you learn more this process.
- On Sunday March 2, Pastor Tim shared WHY a new name could be helpful for our church. CLICK HERE to watch it.
- On Sunday, March 9, Pastor Tim shared VIDA CHURCH as the name our church leadership is presenting as a strong option for our future. CLICK HERE to watch it.
With that in mind, here are three more important dates:
- Sunday, March 16 — Special Meeting
Following both of our Sunday services, we will be holding special meetings for those who may have questions about a new church name. Join us in the Café immediately after church if you'd like to be part of this dialog. - Sunday, March 23 — Membership Class
At 11:30am, we'll be hosting a membership class in preparation for the vote happening the following Sunday. We want your voice to be heard — so it's important you're a member! Childcare and a meal will be provided, so please be sure to sign up on a Sunday morning to participate in the membership class. - Sunday, March 30 — CHURCH VOTE
During our combined English-Spanish Sunday service at 9:30am, members will be voting on the new name. Then after service, both of our congregations will join together for a great time of fellowship and food provided by the church!
