Life was never meant to be lived alone, and Micro Churches are one of the best ways to find community and grow in your faith. On Sunday, August 23, at 6:00 PM, our Ball Road and Knox Center Campuses will be hosting a Micro Church Launch. Whether you're already in a Micro Church or looking to join one for the first time, you'll enjoy a potluck dinner, meet great people, and experience what a typical Micro Church gathering is like.

MyOneLife - A 4-Week Sunday Morning Small Group Experience
The first step for every OneLifer to get involved and get to know our church culture and mission is a 4-week small group experience called MyOneLife. It takes place on Sunday mornings in the Meeting Room at each of our campuses. You’ll learn about the vision & values of our church, discover your personal mission & spiritual gifts, and find out tons of ways to get involved.

Bottom Line: We are better together.
Deuteronomy 6:1-2 NLT
“These are the commands, decrees, and regulations that the LORD your God commanded me to teach you. You must obey them in the land you are about to enter and occupyand you and your children and grandchildren must fear the LORD your God as long as you live. If you obey all his decrees and commands, you will enjoy a long life.
1. God has always had a Next Gen plan.
Deuteronomy 6:4-7 NLT
“Listen, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD alone.And you must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength.And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today.Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up.
2. God gave the family the primary responsibility.
Deuteronomy 6:20-24 NLT
“In the future your children will ask you, ‘What is the meaning of these laws, decrees, and regulations that the LORD our God has commanded us to obey?’“Then you must tell them, ‘We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt, but the LORD brought us out of Egypt with his strong hand.The LORD did miraculous signs and wonders before our eyes, dealing terrifying blows against Egypt and Pharaoh and all his people.He brought us out of Egypt so he could give us this land he had sworn to give our ancestors.And the LORD our God commanded us to obey all these decrees and to fear him so he can continue to bless us and preserve our lives, as he has done to this day.
3. God never intended the family to do it alone.
Deuteronomy 6:25 NLT
For we will be counted as righteous when we obey all the commands the LORD our God has given us.’
4. The next generation is the now generation.
