Celebrating Missions at Pathways in August!
Missions is the attitude of every believer applied to the various activities undertaken by our church family to fulfill our purpose of spreading the Christian faith and impacting the world for God. This includes evangelism, discipleship, and addressing social needs, all to glorify God and making disciples of all nations.
We are excited to welcome Molly Jamison Juarez and her family to Pathways on Sunday, August 10, 2025. You will want to save this date to hear how God is leading Molly and the impact that her calling, and ministry is making in El Salvador.

The Weekly Offering Moment
We offer a weekly Offering Moment for your spiritual growth. Are you, like so many of us, caught in the accidental idolatry of money? Will you engage weekly in the spiritual act of fighting that idolatry by thanking God, the true source of all of our resources? God promises that a freedom from idolatry of any kind can be a life filled with fullness and joy and love and freedom. He invites you into this life of giving generously. Will you consider a spiritual act of generosity? *Please use the link below and select "General Fund."

Benediction:
Being a Kingdom worker for Christ means actively living out one's faith in all aspects of life, using one's gifts and talents to advance God's kingdom and make a positive impact on the world.
Kingdom work isn't limited to church activities or ministry roles. It encompasses all aspects of life, including work, family, and community involvement.
Demonstrating love, kindness, and compassion to others, both in word and deed, reflects the character of Christ and can be a powerful testimony.
Continuously seeking to grow in one's relationship with God through prayer, Bible study, and fellowship with other believers is essential for effective Kingdom work.
