Baptism Celebration
July 1, 2025 • 7:30pm |The Stable
Have you recently accepted Christ... if so, let me take a second to tell you congratulations on making the best decision you could ever make. But what now?
Honestly, there are so many things, but here are two essential things. Get a bible and begin to read it. Don't just to read it, but to allow God to speak to you through His word, and you'll develop a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. That's number 1... 2nd thing to do is, and this is just as important... Get Baptized... Yes, get baptized... It's what we believe is the next step. Why? The easiest answer is that Jesus did it. He was obedient to be baptized, and so should we.
So if you're a believer in Jesus Christ and you are ready to show the world that you are, make plans for Baptism at FAM CHURCH, July 1st out at the Stable. If you have been baptized in the past, but feel like it wasn't a true commitment, sign up and join the others in baptism. Sign up at the link above, or go to the Church Center app and click on the "Want To Be Baptized" button.
Sign up; we'll have a "Dunk" shirt for you.

June 29, 2025 • 12:15pm |Hangar 316
It's 5th Sunday time! Plan on staying with us following service for an afternoon of great food and fellowship. We have some great cooks, so join us as we chow down together on some fine "vittles." The day should be nice, so plan on making it a lazy day sitting around visiting, maybe having that extra piece of dessert.
Guys, let's show our guests a great day. Dust off those recipes and let's overflow the tables with your best dish. Head over to Mealtrain (click here) to let us know what you can bring.
The Summer of Love
June 22, 2025 • 10:00am |Worship Center
This four-week series, The Summer of Love, examines the four types of love as described in C.S. Lewis's famous work The Four Loves. The four loves are storg? (affection), philia (friendship), eros (romance), and agapê (charity). Through analyzing biblical passages, we can find the relationship among these words and the Christian virtues and character that they reflect. In a culture that is misinformed about love, Lewis reveals how Scripture points to the various aspects of love that ultimately glorify God and reveal Him to the world.
The fourth love is agapê. This love reveals God's love for His creation and the self-sacrificing love found in Christ. Christian love is God's love as it is embodied in the story of Jesus and the Spirit. This love shows itself in acts of concern, caring and respect for the welfare of others, causing us to identify with the other by making their interests our own interests.
A Father's Legacy
June 15, 2025 • All Day |Open Road Fellowship Church
If we have been blessed to have someone in our lives who has taken on the task of being a God-centered father for us, God has given them the task of leaving a legacy for us to embrace and prepare to pass along.
Fathers are entrusted with many things related to their children. Paul entrusted wisdom to Timothy, as the authors of Proverbs sought to impart wisdom to their listeners. We must encourage our fathers (biological, adopted or bonus, influencers) to take full advantage of the opportunity to pass along trustworthy sayings that will carry children along the path God has set before them. One day they will be able to influence others, and the legacy they carry will be one their children can joyfully pass along too.

The third type of love is eros, the romantic love. While eros is not in the New Testament, the concept of this kind of love in marriage is stressed, and the depth of intimacy that binds marriage is reflected in God's relationship to His church.
2nd Sunday Ride
June 8, 2025 • 12:30pm |Hanger 316
Let's Ride!!...
June 8th is the 2nd Sunday of the month. If you are new to Open Road Fellowship, that's when we jump on our bikes and head out as a group right after church for a nice ride. It's an opportunity for us to grab some good food and enjoy some fellowship as we take some time to get to know one another. The direction we head is always an adventure but geared to provide a relaxing time out on the bikes. Invite your friends; maybe a nice ride might be what motivates them to come to church. Hey, and if you don't ride, don't let that stop you from enjoying the day...just hop in your car and follow along.
North, south, east, or west... no matter where we head, you are sure to enjoy the ride. So, come join us for our next 2nd Sunday ride!
June Serve Day - Woman Church
June 5, 2025 • All Day |Shane's Seafood and BBQ
What is our DNA? Our DNA is to be servants - serving out in our community. We serve in many different ways and groups, but we serve as a body, a gathering of believers on a mission once a month. Our commitment has us ready to get back out amongst our community and impact our community.
This year we are doing things a little bit differently for our June Serve Day. We are going to serve not only Man Church but also Woman Church this year! The men will have dinner Tuesday, so on Thursday, the women will head over to Shanes to prepare dinner for all the women (the cook team will help cook). We will be cooking up street tacos for them also, so we need all hands (women) on deck. The biggest reason is that it needs to flow quickly, so let's make it happen. We have lots of fun doing this for the men... and the women are looking forward to us coming out! Be at Shane's anytime after 5:00 pm to get set up for a great evening!
ITINERARY
MONDAY - 6 pm at Church to prep
THURSDAY - anytime after 5:00 pm at Shane's
