Current Series

Conversations Jesus Had

This series is a survey of the life of Christ. The theme will be to learn conversations that Jesus had with various people, and we will try to go in chronological order from His early life until after His death.

The Blog

Sometimes there are thoughts that we'd love to share with you, but they really don't fit anywhere in particular. So we have a blog for just such items.

Music

We maintain a few shared playlists on Apple Music & Spotify. They serve two purposes: To allow you to learn songs before we sing them, and to listen to a wider array of songs that we have sung corporately for the life of Good News.

Financial Support

The stewardship of our finances is a tremendous—and often overlooked—area of our lives where we can faithfully proclaim the gospel. Giving strengthens our devotion to Christ and frees us to live open-handedly with the gifts God gives us. We trust in Him and His provision instead of our perceived self-sufficiency. As people of faith, we give faithfully and generously.

Give Your Money

Volunteer

Just as we can donate from our finances, we can also donate our time. In this way you can help serve people inside, and outside, the church body. We have many ways in which you can serve:

Ways To Give Your Time

  • Greeting people (new & old)
  • Coffee Corner Setup & Service
  • Lawn maintenance & care
  • Teaching Bible Lessons to kids
  • Watching babies, so the mother & father can attend the service
  • etc...

We Are All On The Hospitality Team

We Are All On The Hospitality Team

Have you noticed the fabulous group of volunteers wearing their orange lanyards known as the “Hospitality Team”? What they accomplish in the 50’ X 22’ foyer and 184 inches – that’s 15’ 4” of coffee corner countertop on each side – is remarkable! (Yes, I measured these areas. 😊) The Hospitality Team greets us with smiling faces and warm welcomes at the front doors, they help answer our questions with precision and timeliness at the information desk and they serve us donuts and drinks with excitement and joy at our favorite coffee corner.

Many times over the course of my time here in Ocala, I have had church people come up to me and say, “I’m excited to be a part of Good News Church! If there is any kind of thing you’d like me to do to serve God, just let me know.”
Different Stages in a Church Family’s Life

Different Stages in a Church Family’s Life

Recently, I was thinking about something related to church life that reminded me of something about parenting life.  In both cases, a family is started, there is growth and, at times, growing pains. And as the family matures, there is both a kind of grieving that happens - at the loss of something that only exists in the early stages - as well as a rejoicing regarding some of the fruits of growth and maturity.

This has been a longstanding policy at Good News Church and yet, I don’t recall if I’ve ever said anything about this publicly. But now you can know, Good News Church keeps me out of the loop as to who gives which amounts of money to the church.
