Continuing in the tradition of providing clean water for communities, our elementary children recently made “Valentines for Jesus” (crafts and coupon books) for sale to raise funds for a new well in Haiti.  Our kids teamed up with other Nazarene churches in East Tennessee and raised $155.50 to put towards the project.  Learn more about the Haiti Water Project by visiting www.haitiwaterproject.com.  Stay tuned for a total from the rest of the district coming soon!

We can recite them. We hang them on our walls and in our courtrooms. We use them as a measurement of our character. It is easy for us to go along knowing the Ten Commandments without ever taking the time to realize the great insight they possess for our lives.

At a very basic level, a church is a collection of people who have made a commitment to follow Jesus.  That’s not to say we always follow perfectly, but following Jesus with our whole lives is our goal.

In order to pattern our lives after Jesus’ life more closely, we’re going to be spending the next few months studying the life of Jesus.  Please join us on Sunday mornings as we journey through the life of Jesus together.

Beginning this 2011-2012 school year, Real Life Community is partnering with Mitchell-Neilson Primary School to provide  mentors to at-risk students.  These mentors will meet with students for 30 minutes – 1 hour each week throughout the school year to help with homework, read a book from the library, play a game, etc… in hopes of assisting the child in his/her schoolwork and development.

During the year 2010 our church leadership spent much of the year in prayerful, strategic planning to discern the next steps for Real Life.  Over the course of several months we felt the leadership of God calling us to set some clear goals for our church.  These goals became known as VISION 2020.

Over the next ten years, here are a few of the things we’re trying to accomplish:

Renewed emphasis on outreach and connecting people with God & others through our [...]
