This will be a Resurrection Sunday to remember, will it not?
Instead of gathering with thousands on our campus to remember Jesus’ death on the cross for our sins and to celebrate his victory over sin and death, we will stay home and connect with one another for worship by livestream.
You may participate at ingleside.org/live (and on Facebook and YouTube). I hope that you will join us and invite others to do the same.
Though our circumstances have been temporarily and radically...

Are you missing our weekly gatherings at Ingleside?
I know that I surely am! I’m missing the interaction and encouragement of our times of worship together and our face-to-face fellowship with one another.
Yet, to honor the directives of our governing authorities and because we want to love our neighbors by doing our part to slow the spread of the coronavirus, we will continue to suspend any on-campus worship services or other activities through Thursday, April 30.
Until it is...

Church membership is biblical. As the Apostle Paul wrote to the church at Corinth: “Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it” (1 Corinthians 12:27, ESV; cf. Romans 12:4-5).
Membership is a way of saying: “I’m committed to Jesus and to his body, the church. You can count on me to use my gifts for the good of others in this church family. I will worship, grow, serve, give, and go with the gospel alongside others in this church family. I’m...

Listen to the wisdom of the writer of the biblical book of Ecclesiastes:
“The wise heart will know the proper time and procedure.
For there is a proper time and procedure for every matter.”
(Ecclesiastes 8:5b-6a, NIV84)
Eugene Peterson captures the spirit of this...

God is favoring our High School Ministry at Ingleside with a new season of growth under the leadership of our High School Pastor, Brett Brandewie.
