Men's Ministry Kick-Off

Saturday, August 15, 6:00 PM

Men - join us TOMORROW at 6PM for some delicious smoked meat and a good time together as we kick off the fall season for men's ministry and share about our upcoming opportunities for men at WCR.

Guest Speaker: Mike Calhoun
Mike Calhoun is the Pastor of Ministry Training at the Summit Church in Raleigh, where he helps identify and train young leaders. He spent the first forty-three years ministering to youth with Word of Life Fellowship speaking, teaching, writing, counseling and consulting local churches and other youth ministries. His passion is identifying, discipling and developing young leaders.

Some smoked meat will be provided, but we encourage you to bring your own grilled or smoked specialties, plus any sides to share.

Parenting Milestones: K-3rd Grade

August 16, 2026, 9:45 AM

Parenting is a sacred calling, and each stage of a child’s life brings new joys—and new challenges. Parenting Milestones is a new series of gatherings designed to encourage and equip parents as they guide their children through key transitions in their spiritual walk with the Lord.

Each session will focus on a specific age or stage. We'll explore practical strategies, offer biblical encouragement, and provide space for conversation, connection, and prayer with other parents in the same season.

This session is tailored to parents who will have children in K-3rd grade this school year. Children will attend WCR Kids during this parent info session.

Let’s walk this parenting road together—one milestone at a time.

New Members

The following candidates are recommended by the elders for church membership. These candidates have completed the new members class, signed the membership covenant, met with the elders, and will be welcomed as members of WCR in two weeks.

Night of Prayer

Aug 19, 6:30pm

Let's gather for an intentional night of prayer as a church family. Together, we’ll lift up one another, intercede for those who are far from God, and ask Him to empower and use us to share the Gospel with our community.

This will be a roving prayer walk throughout the church building. Multiple prayer stations will be set up, each with prompts to guide your time in prayer. This is an opportunity to move, reflect, and pray together with purpose. Prayer prompts will be available in the worship center for those who are unable to travel throughout the building.
