2026 Men’s Prayer Experience

By Tim Urling | January 26, 2026

Hectic.     Chaotic.     Constantly connected.    Never off duty. Our busy lives offer almost zero time to focus on our spiritual well-being. All this noise eventually affects the most important part of us: Our Souls. It’s Time to Unplug. Nestled in the Sacramento Mountains and surrounded by the scenic ridgelines of the Lincoln National Forest, we invite…

Overcoming Obstacles

By Tim Urling | January 7, 2026

Overcoming Obstacles Jesus prayed, “Not my will, but Thine, be done”—and we should too. Mark 11:20-26 Facing obstacles is a given in this life.  Jesus said we would have trouble; it’s simply unavoidable. However, there is hope because He has overcome the world (John 16:33). Jesus tells us that when problems seem overwhelming, we’re to have…

What Happened to the Church??

By Tim Urling | December 28, 2025

Somewhere along the way, the concept of church has been turned upside down! At one point in time, church was about honoring and pleasing God.

What Is the Church?

By Tim Urling | September 15, 2025

Most people think of the church as a building, but that’s not the biblical definition. Colossians 1:15-20 It isn’t merely a meeting place for social interaction, scriptural instruction, and service projects. Rather, the church is a Body composed of those who have been redeemed by Christ and join together to meet, worship, and serve. Christ…

Do I Really Need to be a Church Member?

By Tim Urling | September 11, 2025

Do I really need to be a member of a church? We need to first separate the concept of church membership from other types of organizational membership. Church membership is not like civic club membership, even though many civic organizations do have altruistic purposes. Church membership is definitely not like country club membership, where you…
