Icons: When Culture Whispers God’s Story (Page 11)
Celebrities. Musicians. Athletes. They’re the icons of our day– or at least, of the moment. The media saturates us with their stories: a viral music video, a quick rise to the top of the sports world, or NASDAQ. We see the headlines, and think, “really?” and then before too long we’re thinking, “wow, really.” We start following the stories thinking they’re just a guilty pleasure, but is there more?
Woven into the stories, through the noise, and the hype, are whispers… of God’s story. Come join us this summer as our Icons teaching series helps us tune our ear to the ways culture tells us about ourselves.
*Christ’s Church is a strategic partner of Grace Chapel in Lexington, MA and features the teaching of Pastor Bryan Wilkerson and the Grace Chapel Teaching Team.

Strong to the Finish
Since September, our Sunday messages have been all about Re-Discovering Jesus. We’ve taken a deeper look at Jesus’ teachings, his compassion, and his impact on human history – from Old Testament prophecy to his miraculous birth, sacrificial death, and life-giving resurrection. The final leg of this teaching journey is a series we’re calling, “Strong to the Finish.” For eight weeks in May and June, we’ll explore the ways Jesus is at work in our lives and world today, and how…
Stalled- A New Sermon Series
Have you run out of gas, spiritually? Things were cruising along just fine–a couple bumps in the road–until one day you realize the momentum is gone. The engine’s making a funny sound, and the maintenance light is on (again). Or maybe you’ve never really gotten your faith in gear. You see people moving along on their journeys, but you’re on the side of the road, watching, wondering what it would take for you to get going. Could you navigate life…
Really?!?…A New Sermon Series
Really?!? PEOPLE ACTUALLY BELIEVE THIS STUFF? Do you or someone you know have serious doubts about whether Jesus really lived, if the things he said are true, and whether that’s relevant to us today? Maybe you’re thinking, “People actually believe this stuff? Really?!?” We get your questions and your skepticism. And we take them seriously. Our January sermon series is built around answering some important questions about the historicity of Jesus, what it means for our world today, and what it…
30th Anniversary Re-Cap
Our 30th Anniversary Celebration was a very blessed time to share stories and celebrate all that God has done in and through Christ’s Church over the last three decades. If you missed some of the videos we’ve been showing over the last few weeks or want to see them again, you can view all of the videos here. Enjoy!
Celebrating 30 years
This November Christ’s Church celebrates it’s 30 year anniversary! Since our inception in 1985 until today God has been so faithful to us. He has poured out immeasurable blessings, carried us through challenges and tragedies, and continues to lead us now as we start a new chapter in our history. During the month of November we’ll be sharing memories and stories, showing pictures from “back in the day”, and capping it all off with a special 30th Anniversary Potluck after worship…

Worship in the Park a Success!
Worship in the Park was a special day not just in the life of Christ’s Church, but “The Church” in the Souhegan Valley. Hundreds gathered together on a beautiful Sunday morning at Keyes Field in Milford to worship in unity, lifting high the name of Jesus and interceding for the community (see pics below). Other participating congregations from Amherst, Milford and New Boston included the Village Bible Church, River of Life, The Bridge, Light of the World, Chestnut Hill Chapel, and…

CCA Exploring Strategic Partnership with Grace Chapel
The leadership at Christ’s Church is pleased to announce that CCA is exploring the possibility of a partnership with Grace Chapel in Lexington, MA. During the month of June we will be entering into a 4-week pilot program featuring the “Unbelievable” sermon series from Bryan Wilkerson, Senior Pastor at Grace. Richard Rhodes, Grace’s Pastor of Outreach and New Campuses, will be joining us on June 7th to kickoff the pilot program. We are excited about this new possibility and encourage all…
What’s Next for CCA?
The Elders and Development Team will be making a significant announcement this Sunday, May 31st, immediately following the worship service. The announcement begins to address the question that Pastor Dale has asked: “What is next?” We will present what we believe is a framework which will enable us to pursue our vision for CCA and the Souhegan Valley. Please make every effort to attend; all members and regular attendees are invited. Nursery and childcare coverage will be available.
Back to Acts
After completing our series on the Lord’s Prayer Dr. Dale Kuehne resumes our sermon series in the book of Acts. This is not just about learning church history, its about recognizing that we are part of the same story, the same mission…should we choose to accept it. Though much has changed in two-thousand years, much remains the same. We are still called to be witnesses for Jesus, the church is still persecuted throughout the world, we still have sin issues and relational problems…
