Covid-19 Update

All Services Cancelled   –  March 15-22:

This site will be updated on whether we will be closed each week

The COVID-19 virus is an unprecedented situation that has been making an impact on our world and our community. Right now, things are changing day to day. As a church, we will do our best to honor and care for you. We want to balance following Scripture, having faith, obeying the government, and being socially responsible. Therefore, we are striving for an appropriate and balanced approach to COVID-19, and we trust you will do the same.

We are praying that we can use this as an opportunity to see that our church is more than just four walls, it is us. I also pray that we continue to be the church, even though we have to remain isolated. Call, text, e-mail, and interact with one another on the Charter Oak facebook page. Stay in touch and stay concerned for one another.

We will be livestreaming on facebook at least a sermon on Sundays at 10:30 AM until this threat passes. You can watch, comment, or share at anytime. If you need someone to help with childcare or to do shopping for you, let Pastor Aaron know.

Unfortunately, even though we are not meeting corporately, expenses continue to gather. If you feel led, we have provided an online giving option. There is a link located on our webpage.

I am praying for all of you!!

“Defining Marriage” – Sunday Nights @ 6 from May 22 until June 12

What is marriage? How does the Bible define it? How can we uphold a biblical definition of marriage while still remaining filled with God’s grace? How should the church respond to the politics and cultural issues surrounding the definition of marriage? How should we think about divorce and remarriage? This spring we are going to tackle some serious questions about the nature of marriage on Sunday evenings from May 22 until June 12. All are welcome. I hope to see you there!
