Starting 2019 Rightly
At the start of 2019, let's consider a simple way we can pledge this new year to a whole-hearted pursuit of Jesus no matter what the months ahead hold in store for us....
Keep ReadingStill Thankful
What if we told you that you are commanded to be thankful? We're sure that makes gratitude so much easier to have as part of your life amidst a global pandemic and all the chaos of our world. Gratitude is an expectation, and it is God's will for us. How will that change your attitude this holiday season?...
God Math
Often enough, it can feel like God's ways don't add up in the ways we calculate. But is that because His math is off or because we aren't as receptive to His methods of shaping us?...
Master's Market Immediate Needs
This entire year has been something else. But as chaotic as it may feel, we can rest assured that Christ's call to care for others and share the gospel in Christian ministry is ever-present. We have an opportunity and a privilege to make Christ known through Master's Market....

With the new Sunday and events schedule starting to move toward some sense of normalcy, we wanted to give you an update about why we're looking to re-launch Community Groups and other smaller group activities for families. 2020 has been an adventure for all of us, and we are eager to grow with you in the weeks and months to come....
Campaign Update
Despite the current circumstances around the world, God continues to prove Himself faithful.

Lead With Grace. Follow With Love. Repeat.

It takes a team to make Meadowood go, and God has assembled a tremendous family of people to keep things moving forward during this time of uncertainty. Bob wanted to take a few moments to express his appreciation for the team he's been blessed to serve alongside....

Virtual Shepherding
Seminaries don't offer a class on virtual shepherding or how to do ministry when you can't do ministry in person for an extended period. So as the global pandemic continues to shift the rhythms of the world, let us remember to pray for the leaders God has given us....

Our Latest Updates (Coronavirus)
Coronavirus is causing shifts in much of our daily lives. While we earnestly desire to gather the Meadowood family on Sunday mornings, we're adjusting to the recommendations of federal, state and community leaders by choosing to clear the Meadowood calendar for the next two weeks. But, we do intend to offer a distinctly Meadowood alternative to your Sunday mornings!...

The Coronavirus and Meadowood's Approach
With a near constant stream of updates, news and information, the coronavirus pandemic has begun to drastically affect many aspects of our lives. We know you have very real concerns about these developments. Our hope is to prevent the spread of the virus in our own community while still recognizing the sovereign God who is in control of all things and appropriately caring for all those who have been and will be affected....
Giving Up
Lent is not a big part of Meadowood's liturgy. Though there can be benefits to personal "sacrifices" during the season, we must be careful how we approach this season of "giving up."...
D'Now Preview: Refuge
A refuge is a place of safety in the midst of difficult storms that arise throughout life. There is no greater refuge than Christ, but the church is meant to be a refuge as well as people are rocked by the storms of life. This weekend is a perfect chance for the church to invest in Meadowood Youth....
Construction Update
Having moved into the construction phase of our capital stewardship campaign, we wanted to give you an update as to where things stand. Projects have begun and some have even been completed. There is still plenty more to accomplish, but we are excited at what God is doing at Meadowood!...
Forward by Faith
Recent storms took a toll on the Meadowood facilities, especially the worship center. However, even the damage wrought by these storms can be seen as a blessing and a springboard into the "abundantly more" God has in store for His people....

Merry Christmas, Meadowood!
Christmas is a time to take it all in. Each year, Christmas rolls around, forcing us to pause. We remember, and we look ahead. We think of the Christmases we knew growing up. The laughter and fun. The celebrations big and small we shared with others....

Building Up
Meadowood's Worship Center sustained severe damage as a result of August storms. The Fellowship Hall has served as our main gathering place each Sunday morning. We know discouragement can be a very real possibility, especially when you may not see or hear of the progress being made in repairs. So, Bob has chosen to let us in on where things stand and how Meadowood continues to move forward....

A Few Adjustments
Because of this week's storms, Meadowood will look a little different as we gather each Sunday morning until restoration work in our Worship Center is complete. We wanted to take a moment and share some adjustments we're asking our guests and members to prepare for upon arrival this Sunday....

In the Way
While Meadowood's mission team was in Colorado, the church we partner with learned it's building was literally in the way of a neighbor. That actually led to conversations that may break down some barriers to the gospel, which is the way it should be....
Give It A Rest
Regardless of what "rest" looks like for you, it's important—even commanded—that we still ourselves in the presence of God. Our schedules may make that difficult, but how different would our lives look if we rested properly?...

The first day at Falls Creek is complete, and we thought we'd do our best to keep you updated on all the goings-on taking place during Meadowood's "Week at the Creek."...

The Final Days of Jesus: Resurrection Sunday
Following the Sabbath rest, the first followers of Christ decide to visit the place of His burial. They didn't expect what they found. The stone was rolled away. The tomb was empty. And the things they had been taught in the years traveling with Jesus began to crystallize as a new reality set in. Though it would take some time (and further instruction from the Risen Jesus), the first moments of the full gospel are on display for us in the pages of Scripture....
The Final Days of Jesus: Saturday
When it comes to the Saturday of Holy Week, the Bible gives us precious little information. We're mostly left to assume or simply imagine what it might've been like for those who had followed Jesus. Still, it can leave us with loads of questions....
The Final Days of Jesus: Friday
Though we may be familiar with the events of what has come to be called Good Friday, it's easy to lose sight of them or shift our focus forward a couple of days. So let's pause and remember the greatest—and perhaps the most confusing—day in all history....
The Finals Days of Jesus: Thursday
In these final days, we see tremendous shifts as the people celebrate Jesus and the leaders challenge Him. All of this happens amid dueling realities—the celebration of the Jewish Passover (God-ordained escape from Egypt) and the Roman occupation that dominates life of the times. God has chosen a strategic time to pull off the extraordinary....
The Final Days of Jesus: Wednesday
Another day in the Holy Week brings another step closer to the cross for Jesus, and our focus now turns to the opposition that has been pushing for this itinerant teacher to be removed from the scene before He disrupts all of Jewish life and belief during the most important time in the Jewish calendar as the people flocked to Jerusalem to celebrate Passover....
The Final Days of Jesus: Tuesday
When Jesus entered Jerusalem on what we now call Palm Sunday, He set himself on a collision course with the religious leaders of the day. Why did they feel threatened and move to eliminate this young teacher from Nazareth?...
The Final Days of Jesus: Monday
Monday was the second day of the Jewish week, and the Monday of Jesus' march toward Calvary has some interesting events we still find both fascinating and confusing. Follow along with us on this Holy Week adventure through this next installment of The Final Days of Jesus....

The Final Days of Jesus: Palm Sunday
Palm Sunday is an interesting day for the Christ follower. Triumphant in his arrival to Jerusalem, Jesus is actually beginning the final days of His ministry and life. Though we know it's not the true end, perhaps if we could take a closer look back, we might see some cultural, historical and theological points we may have missed....
