TODAY: The Big C

We are excited to welcome our friends from Visible and Chosen today as we unite to serve, worship, and celebrate the unity we have as Christ’s global church.

Now-July 25: Nike Peach Jam

The Nike Peach Jam is a premier national basketball tournament held each year at Riverview Park in North Augusta.

At TrueNorth, we view this as a simple way to show the love of God to people from all over the US. We assist in this event by serving meals and providing desserts to coaches and players during the tournament from July 13-25.

Volunteers must be 16 years old, per Nike rules. You can register to serve during any shift here.

We will need lots of desserts (cookies, brownies, and rice crispy treats are favorites, but please nothing with nuts) that will be served for the duration of the tournament. You can drop them off at the church office July 19–22, 8:30am-4:30pm.

Gene Jenning’s New Book for Sale

One of the most common questions Christians ask is, “How can I know God’s will for my life?” All Christ followers want to be in the center of God’s will. Following Christ is a wonderful adventure. Discovering his plan is essential to making the adventure great! Rather than looking for a specific blueprint for your life, it’s best to examine the obvious things God’s Word tells us about our part in the adventure. Discover that God is more interested in who you are rather than what you do.
Purchase Gene Jennings new book, Discovering God’s Plan: Understanding God’s Will for Your Life, for $6 today. All proceeds will go to our For the One campaign.

For the One Pledges

The mission of TrueNorth Church is to lead people into a passionate relationship with Jesus Christ. Since TrueNorth launched in 2004, the words of Jesus in Luke 15 have defined who we are and what we are about. “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them – what do you do? You leave the other ninety-nine sheep in the pasture and go looking for the one that got lost until you find it.” (Luke 15:4)

For The One is a two-phase capital campaign. The first phase was designed to generate $1.3 million to begin the loan process with our lender. We have completed phase one and are so excited to begin phase two! In phase two, we will be generating the funds necessary for construction costs.

Your commitment to this goal helps us plan for our future. To complete a digital pledge card, click here or text PLEDGE to 803.279.1555.

2021 Bible Reading Plan

Follow along with TrueNorth’s Bible Reading Plan as we walk through the entire New Testament in 2021. Our plan is designed so that you read one chapter during the week and a short selection from Psalms or Proverbs on the weekends. Pick up a copy of the TrueNorth Bible Reading Plan on campus, download a digital copy from our website here, or follow along through the digital resource on the TrueNorth App.

**Please note that the issue iOS users were experiencing has been corrected! You can now read the Bible Plan through the TrueNorth Church app.

We are selling NLT Slimline Bibles for $10 and NLT LifeApp Study Bibles for $50 if you wish to read via a non-digital format.

Book Overviews: As we continue on our 2021 Bible Reading Plan together, we will be publishing a brief overview of each book. In less than 5 minutes you will have a quick grasp of what you will be reading, who wrote it, and why it was written. Our desire is that it helps you know your Bible better and get more out of your time in it.
