What kind of church is Good News?
Good News Church is a Bible-teaching, non-denominational church.
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.
View Conversations Jesus HadSometimes 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.
We also have a large archive of all of our previous sermon series. Feel free to have a listen.
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.

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 MoneyJust 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:
"Welcome to Good News Church! It is our desire to see people’s lives positively changed by God through the good news of Jesus Christ. This brings glory to God, which, we believe, is the ultimate purpose of life. We invite you to attend our Sunday morning worship service at 9:15am & 11:00am. We hope you come, and we hope you like it!" — Pastor Mario Villella
Good News Church meets every Sunday at 9:15am & 11:00am.
We realize that visiting a new church can be a little stressful. What am I supposed to wear? Will there be anything for my children? What if the pastor is weird? What if the guy sitting next to me is weird? Is anyone going to ask me to do something like stand up and introduce myself?
In order to alleviate some of that discomfort, we’ve designed this section to inform you about what to expect at our church, and to answer some frequently asked questions.
When you arrive you will see a driveway that leads to either the left or right side of the building. You can park on either side of the building, but the left parking area is closest to KidZone, our children’s program, and the auditorium we use for our Main Service.
Each Sunday morning we have coffee and donuts available before and during the service. The service is typically a little over an hour long, and is comprised primarily of music and Bible teaching. The music is current in style, and so is the Bible teaching (even though it is based on a very old book.) Childcare is provided for the entire length of the service for children who are in PreK and younger. Kindergarten through 5th graders accompany their parents for the first part of the service (the music part) and then are dismissed during the sermon time to KidZone. They will be taught a Bible lesson geared for their age group. All other children are invited to attend the main church service with everyone else. After the service, people are encouraged to hang out with one another to get to know each other.
Would you like a more exhaustive explanation of the vision of Good News Church? What kind of church is Good News? What are we trying to accomplish? All of these questions were answered in a 3-part series we did called "Focused".
