Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
James 1:2-3

Welcome to Woodland!
We are excited to invest in your life today.
Our goal is to help you know that through God we have a life of hope, purpose and joy. You are worth the investment and we want to be a church who values who God created you to be.
You Matter! We’re glad you’re here!

The IMAGINE series and book study, written by our own Senior Pastor Tim Passmore. Imagine the Fully Devoted Life is a new message series and personal study. It's a series about self-discovery in how we relate to Jesus and others in our lives. We tackle 4 core topics: Testimony (A Story to Tell) Time (A Schedule to Keep), Talents (The Gifts to Use)  and Treasures (The Resources to Share). This is also a personal study which allows you to dig deeper in your own lives.
Imagine the Fully Devoted Life is a new message series and personal study that started Oct 3rd. We would love for everyone to be involved in this study! If you can't join a study now we will have a 4-week class starting January 9.

This is a great opportunity for Ministry Partners to come and enjoy some fellowship over a Turkey Dinner where WE provide the meat, and the side dishes are up to you! It’s a old fashioned potluck - just bring a side of your liking to share OR a dessert. We’ll provide everything else.
Then immediately following the meal is our Annual Business Meeting. We vote on the new 2022 budget, and elect Deacons and Committee Members. This is for Ministry Partners of Woodland. Please Sign-up in the lobby!

If your student has never been to a Mega Feast, it is a large Thanksgiving dinner for our Middle School students. Mega Feast is a FREE Thanksgiving dinner to all students!  We will have games, giveaways and of course FOOD!  Times are from 6-8, feel free to invite any friends that you want to!
We will have a pre-dinner bonfire, lots of games and of course FOOD!  We challenge our current students to invite those who normally don't come to church, because who DOESN'T love a free Thanksgiving dinner?!

We are hoping to get 100+ students to attend this event! This requires A LOT of volunteers and donated food. We really need YOU!
You can sign up at the link below.  All cooked items should be delivered to the Woodland kitchen by 5:30PM on Wednesday, the 10th.  At that time, our amazing volunteers will sort all of the donated food, prepare the serving tables and transform the gym into a Mega Feast Thanksgiving celebration!

On Sunday, November 21st, Woodland Student Ministries will host our annual High School MegaFeast to celebrate Thanksgiving.
Featuring heaps of turkey, stuffing, gravy and ALL the fixins followed by a bonfire and short message from our Student Pastors, this is one event that is always a favorite! Best yet, it's all FREE for students and their guests!

To make this banquet available to the students we need support from our church family! The only way we can offer this as a FREE event for our students is if we get donations of food. In addition to food donations, we will also need volunteers to serve our students.

TO SIGN UP FOR FOOD DONATIONS OR TO VOLUNTEER, CLICK HERE

Food donations will need to be delivered already cooked/heated and in disposable aluminum pans or trays to the church kitchen no later than 5:30 p.m. Food servers can arrive at 5:15 p.m. to receive donations and set up the serving line.
If you have any questions or need to schedule a special delivery time for your food donation, please contact our student pastor Connor Long at connor@gowoodland.com (941-894-7055) or contact Sally Cestero at sally@bayelectricco.com or 757-327-9348

The JOY FM needs YOUR help stocking the freezers of the many food banks and ministries who feed local, hurting families. The frozen turkeys you donate will go immediately to the freezers of area food banks and homeless shelters. From there they will be turned into food boxes, holiday meal plates, and the warmth of hope and God’s love for the unfortunate in our community, many of whom are children.
Come out and trade a frozen turkey for a newly designed JOY FM T-shirt! (Yes, we’ll accept “paper turkeys” at $10 OR a $10 gift card from any local grocery store).

Christmas At Woodland is coming soon! This is a special all worship event bringing glory to the King of Kings Jesus Christ! Join us for a unique experience of worship you'll never forget on Friday, December 10 @ 6:00pm / Saturday, December 11 @ 2:30pm/ or Sunday,
December 12 @ 9:00am or 10:55am (Childcare will be offered for both Sunday Services only)

This is the second year to celebrate our last few months of the year through a campaign called “Do You See What I See”.This campaign takes us through the fourth quarter of 2021 looking with awe and wonder at the goodness of God. Seeing together what he has done, what he is doing and what he will do through Woodland.
We began on social media, in October, looking at His goodness through the vastness of his creation. Do you see what I see in every single thing he has created? What awesome, artistic and creative wonders he has made. Then, in November and December we focus on the goodness of God in our community and on the Woodland Campus specifically. Ministries, testimonies, opportunities will be some of the areas you’ll hear of God's goodness! You will also receive a mailer, giving you an opportunity for a special Christmas offering, to help us continue all the ministries the Lord has given us to steward at Woodlan

:: EVERY DAY MATTERS
Each day is unique and a time to experience and show God's love. We believe that there can never be too much love in a community and our showing it has the potential to change a culture for the good. It happens when we live life together by encouraging one another and helping each other be who God created us to be. You Matter because you are fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God, the Creator of the Universe.
Because YOU MATTER to Him, YOU MATTER to us.
Our Campus is called to provide a complete experience for followers of Christ, Monday through Sunday. We love to do life with people! The Lord is in our daily walk and He determines our footsteps. And In all of it, every day, we give God glory!
That’s what Every Day Matters means to us.
“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do,
do it all for the glory of God.” 1 Corinthians 10:31
