Elevation North has News for You!

HERE WE ARE! The time has come … since our first Sunday worship on June 8, 2008 … to announce to the world around us that Elevation North exists … first of all, to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ! You will discover when you come and worship with us, this is a place where you are loved and nurtured to your fullest potential in Christ! We believe that God has birthed this new ministry for anyone and everyone
- who is longing to know Christ more fully and to pursue Him passionately
- who is longing for Christ’s unconditional love and to experience that same kind of Christ-like love from others in the family of Christ
- who desires to follow hard after God and make themselves available for reaching out to others with the love and message of the Lord Jesus Christ
So … if you would like to be a part of a family like this … WE WELCOME YOU … in Jesus’ Name!
WHAT AN EXCITING TIME for our church family as we continue to focus on God’s Word as Pastor Doug preaches the pre-Easter series of messages, and Sunday was no exception! Uniquely, he preached about the angels bringing the news of Jesus’ birth and peace to the world – and their statement, “Do not be afraid!” Why, you say, would you preach a “Christmas message” for Easter? Well, the challenge was given that in the midst of today’s fears - there will never be peace in this world – unless WE have peace with God … unless WE have peace with others, including other believers … and unless WE have peace with ourselves! This coming Sunday, Pastor Doug will be preaching from Matthew chapter 4 about the angels’ ministry to Jesus following His temptation in the wilderness. Come and see how this can apply to us today in our own wilderness journeys!
