We are committed to making disciples through intentional relationships in our families our church and our community.
The Process
ACTS 2:42-47 (NIV84)
They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
Communion
We take communion on a weekly basis. If you have put your trust in Jesus as your Savior you are welcome to join us for communion. Currently we are using pre-packaged cups that have juice and bread in them.
Offering
Offering is a time for those that call Gooding First their home. If you are new, don’t feel obligated to give. We use online giving as well as in person collection plates.
Sermons
Our sermons are biblically based and instructive to helping us live the best life now. Christ called us to live life to the fullest, and through our weekly teaching we are challenged and encouraged to see how God is working, where He is working and how we can be a part of the disciple making mission that he has called us to.
