Ways To Give
God is generous and so He calls us to be as well. What we do with what God has given us shows the world where our hearts are at and helps proclaim the gospel. We want to glorify God with every area of our lives, and that includes what we do with our finances.
If you would like to give, please see the different ways below. You can also designate your gift as going to the general church fund, building fund, HUB Radio Network, missions or for use as benevolence.

RockPile Church Building
Although we recognize that the church is more than a building, we are so excited that God has given us almost 6 acres (at the corner of 1431/Mustang) to build our church building so we can reach even more people for Christ. You can follow the link below to stay up-to-date on current needs, fundraising progress and check-out the building floor plan.

Foundations Series Week 14: Membership Week 8
Stay Strange: The Church As A Home For Exiles
Stay Strange: The Church As A Home For Exiles
The local church is a community of Redeemed people who live as the boots on-the-ground expression of the supremacy of Jesus by advancing His gospel to see the lost saved and the saved matured.
Christians are, by definition, "sojourners and exiles" (strangers) in this world (1 Peter 2:11)
Peter saw an array of forces bent on making Christian strangers normal:
- He saw the unrelenting passions of our flesh, "Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul. (1 Peter 2:11)"
- He was the surprised and smirking world, "With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of debauchery, and they malign you ( Peter 4:4)"
- Peter also saw the prowling devil, "Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8)"

1. Strange Posture
"Love covers a multitude of sins" means that, when wounded, we forgive, overlook, show mercy, refuse to grow bitter. Some sins we pass over; some we confront - all we cover.
2. Strange Place
Healthy churches know that gathering once a week does not keep Christians strange.
Hospitality is literally "love of strangers"
If our love covers a multitude of sins, our hospitality covers a multitude of inconveniences.

3. Strange Practice
When Peter's readers moved about in the church, these wildly different people found themselves on spiritually level ground. Without losing their earthly identities, they gained a remarkable equality in Christ.
4. Strange Perspective
