Next Sunday: The Problem with Masks

Masks are great for holidays. But they are a completely unhealthy way to manage your life. And eventually, you have to take them off anyway, because no one can wear a mask all day long, all year around. How great would it be if you could be celebrated for your honesty and transparency instead of the false front you portray each and every day? Jesus invites you to take off the mask and experience the freedom of being the you He created you to be.

Next Sunday: TrueKidz Candypalooza

Your 3K-5th grader is encouraged to invite a friend and come dressed in their favorite costume to church on Sunday, October 31 at the 9:00am or 10:45am service! It’s going to be a fun-filled day with lots of CANDY!

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 thanks to the generosity of our incredible church! In phase two, we will be generating the funds necessary for future construction costs. Our leadership team is currently praying and evaluating when the construction process will begin.

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.

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.
If you would like to receive outlines as they are released, sign up here.
