Dear Church Family, I’m writing this on Monday morning, opening day of VBS 2025. Wow! What an awesome start to a fantastic week of Vacation Bible School. Kids are everywhere! We’ve got the best team of workers you can imagine, and God is at work on our campus. Thank you North Central for providing such a wonderful facility to meet the needs of our community and reach people for Christ. Our summer is going great! We’re so grateful for the…

I can’t believe June is here already! The year is flying by! What a blessing! We just had the joy of baptizing eight new believers at our Beach Baptism. The Lord opened up the skies so that we could baptize, and then the rain came. This is always a wonderful highlight for our church.  We honor our graduating high school seniors this coming Sunday morning, June 1. We have had a senior recognition banquet at the church, and this Sunday…

This Sunday is Orange Bucket Sunday, May the 4th! We have worked with Food4Kids for over a decade feeding hungry children in Alachua County. You have been so generous in providing food to help them. Please bring your orange buckets this coming Sunday morning and bring them to the main auditorium. If you do not have an orange bucket, you can just bring a grocery bag full of non-perishable items that can join with our effort. This Sunday night we…

It’s an opportunity for us to celebrate the gospel of Jesus through this amazing verse of scripture that so many people have memorized and so many people need to hear. I want to ask…

Dear Church Family, Happy 90th Anniversary North Central! The Lord Jesus has given us 9 decades of generational witness for Jesus Christ in our community and even the world. People have been sent, and people have stood for Christ in this community through the growth and ministry of this precious fellowship of believers. What an impact the church made on me when I was in college. That testimony can be echoed from families, young people, children, senior adults, and everybody…

Dear Church Family, Happy New Year! What a wonderful 2024 we had, and now we look forward to the 2025 year. We’re praying for our greatest evangelistic impact ever in the life of our church for 2025. I’m beginning a new Bible study on Sunday mornings starting January 5 on the book of 2 Corinthians. Several years back we did a series on 1 Corinthians which really emphasizes the core values of a church. This series on 2 Corinthians is…
