Our Vision
We believe everyone needs the hope Jesus offers, so our passion is to help people find that hope and grow in a relationship with Him. We emphasize grace and acceptance, yet we’re equally passionate about truth, as we help people understand who Jesus is and how to take the next right step in their journey of faith.

Student Ministries Special Event
Sunday 6:30 - 8:00pm
High schoolers, middle schoolers, and parents are invited to join High School Sundays at our Centerville Campus for a special night of worship and a conversation with C&MA Youth Director Dan Boal, who will lead a conversation about LGBTQIA+.
Both middle school and high school students are surrounded by the conversation of LGBTQ+, and we want to partner together to help create a godly understanding of the subject that is led by grace and truth.
Middle school students may attend, but due to the subject matter, we ask that they do so with their parents.
If you’re unable to join us in-person, you can watch online by texting “smhope” to 81010 to receive a link to the YouTube live video.

Practical Advice
Seek to understand
Be careful what you say
Delay your reaction
The Antidote to Anger (James 1:21)
Meekness = Gentleness
The virtue when hatred and anger stirs us up: being restrained by kindness
A huge roadblock in our gospel testimony is the lack of gentleness that many followers of Jesus display in their public lives.
Absence of Gentleness
Jealousy (3:14; 4:2): “I deserve that”
Judgmentalism (4:11-12): “They don’t deserve that”
Gentleness (James 3:13-18)
Comes from God
Incredible patience
Quick to mend relational fences
Looking for opportunities to help
Commitment to unity in the church
In the age of rage, there is a great need for gentleness!
The question isn’t who gets angry, but why we all get angry.
Hurt, Frustration, Fear
Anger
Ask Jesus to… (James 4:1-12)
Heal our hurt
Relieve our frustration
Overcome our fear
Produce gentleness
