 One of the most satisfying experiences I have as a pastor occurs when I discover someone from CIL is connected to a small group.  You may come to CIL for a season because you enjoy what happens in the services, but you will stay when you connect with a friend.  So, invest in a small group.  Nothing is more important to the development of our church than people in relationship.  Plus, you need it!  You may not think so today, but you'll need a small group tomorrow! 242 (what we call our small groups) meet this Sunday.  You can learn more about groups available to you by clicking here.  A brochure with more information is available for you at the communication counter in the lobby.   Try a group out!  Christian community is worth the effort and commitment. As we continue the Epiphany season, I am preaching on Deuteronomy 18:15-19.  I cannot wait to share God's word...

  Will You Be Baptized in February? If you missed Sunday, I preached a message on water baptism that lifted the value of this sacrament.  If you did not hear it, take a listen at www.indianlake.sermon.net. In the sermon and 242 Small Groups, we discussed the opportunity for those who were baptize as a child to be baptized as an adult.  While it may not be a necessity for those baptized as child to experience baptism again, it is still a good step to consider.  While a child’s baptism is an important part of our journey, there may be greater significance for you when you take this step as an adult.  Our next scheduled water baptism is on Sunday, February 25th.   If you want to participate in water baptism on that day, fill out this online form.  If you want to talk about it some more, one of our pastors would love to...

Water Baptism With the beginning of a new year, it's time for a fresh spiritual start.  Water baptism allows you to take a decision to become a believer public by following Jesus' example and commandment to be baptized.  We will offer baptism in both the 9am and 10:45am service. Let us know if you are interested in being baptized.         242 Small Groups begin! 2:42 groups at CIL are how we connect, grow, share, and serve together. The name is taken from Acts 2:42 and refers to how the community of believers in the early church lived their lives. The groups are always open to new folks.  The groups meet in semesters with most groups occurring every other Sunday night (5-6:30pm) in homes or on the CIL campus. One group meets for brunch after the 9:00am service. The New Year semester starts this Sunday! Learn more      CIL Forward begins! CIL Forward is series of three sessions where you discover who we...
