What's Happening?

Our Mission...
... is to make fully devoted disciples of Jesus Christ in the Carrollwood community.


Our Values

• Discipleship - This is about growing spiritually to be more like Jesus and helping others do the same. We see that as our number one priority in everything we do.
• Excellence - We believe in doing things with excellence; God is excellent and expects excellence from His people.
• Creativity - God is exceptionally creative; the world is His handiwork. We want to incorporate our God-given creativity into the church experience to help each worshiper’s relationship with God come alive in fresh and exciting ways.
• Compassion - In a world of trouble, pain and death, we want to be sensitive to the needs of others and demonstrate God’s love to everyone we meet.
• Mission - Jesus said that we are to love God with all our hearts, and to love others as ourselves. We simply try to live that out in everything we do.

This Weekend

• Meeting Jesus: Dinner with Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10). Knowing naturally follows meeting. Among the best ways to know a person is to dine with that person. We begin a new series today, “Knowing Jesus,” during which we will look at a few of the instances when people dined with Jesus and knew Him better for the experience. 11:00 AM, Sanctuary.
• Children's Church meets in the Fellowship Hall during the 11:00 service (ages 6-12).
• Sabbath Connections (10:00 AM):
• Youth Sabbath School, a Bible Study group targeted for high school aged youth, meets in the Fellowship Hall Classroom.
• Your Story/Prayer Story is about testimony and prayer. We meet in the Sanctuary Classroom North (next to sound room).
• Evangelism and Witnessing: Every Member Ministry is this week's focus for our Adult Sabbath School group which meets in the Sanctuary Classroom South (across from the church office).
• Children are invited to enjoy activities geared for them in the Fellowship Hall (6-12) and in the classroom hallway (toddler - 5).
• Nominating Committee will meet after our services today. This committee consists of the pastor, five members elected by the church, and three alternates. The members are James Johnson, Chuck Reeves, Chris Henry, Dan McNab, Laura Reeves, and Edith Bowman. If you desire to serve at Carrollwood, or have any suggestions for people who could serve, please contact one of these members.
