12 Weeks Long
Summer Reading Plan
This 12-week journey through the Old Testament is designed to help you see the larger story of God at work in the world—and in your life. As you read each week, take time to reflect on what stands out. Is there a word, verse, or idea that captures your attention? Pause and listen. What might the Holy Spirit be saying to you through it? Ask yourself: What is Jesus inviting me to do or become through this passage? Let this summer be a time of discovery, growth, and deeper connection with God’s story.
July 6 - 10:00a
Baptism
When God is doing something new inside of us, it naturally overflows into every part of our lives. Baptism is one of the most powerful ways we get to show that transformation—it’s an outward expression of the inward work God is doing. It’s a beautiful and bold step in Becoming More.
If you’ve never been baptized, consider this your invitation. There’s no better time than now—and no better day than Church in the Park—to take that step of faith!
As you’re with someone, you become like them. The more you’re with Jesus, the more you become like him. As a church, we exist to lead people into life with Jesus, and life with Jesus leads to becoming more faithful, complete, and generous.
OUR BECOMINGS
We want to become more faithful because how we live matters. God consistently tells us to be attentive to his words and ways; to pick up what he wants for us and lay down what he doesn't, trusting that his ways are best.
FAITHFUL
We want to become more complete, fully integrated, all systems go. God cares about our whole life: spiritually, socially, physically, emotionally, sexually, financially, intellectually, and vocationally. He wants it all to be whole and holy.
COMPLETE
We want to become generous reflecting God's own heart. Generous with the words we use, with the time we have, with the gifts we've been given, with our stuff, our space, our finances, and with the message of Jesus.
GENEROUS
Latest Message
At JaxNaz Church, we often preach in what we call sermon series. These are groups of messages that revolve around a similar theme or topic. Each series typically spans several weeks, allowing us to delve deeply into various aspects of the chosen theme.
Whether the series focuses on a book of the Bible, a particular virtue, or a relevant issue in today's world, our goal is to connect God's word with the real-life challenges and opportunities our members face.
Partnerships
When you find yourself with more, filled to overflowing, you can't help but share it with others. One way our church directs the overflow outward is through our High Five Active Reach Partnerships - teaming up with God, organizations, and individuals to share Jesus and meet the needs of the most vulnerable around us.
There are times when life is overwhelming, when all we have is questions. In those moments, hope can feel far away. The great thing about prayer is that it shifts our perspective toward the One who stands ready to listen. No matter what you’re facing, we’d love to pray with you!
