Let's Read the NEW TESTAMENT Together in 2017

In a tradition that started with our Decade of Grace celebration in 2016, we've enjoyed giving out special awards during the past several Members’ Meetings. Any good award needs a creative name, so we've named them the Barnie Awards

Grieving Over Charlottesville

We, the Karis Church elders, grieve for the citizens of Charlottesville, Virginia. We are saddened by the tragic weekend they experienced there. We are saddened for our nation. We weep for, and with, our brothers and sisters of color. We long for the day when people of all nations will gather before the throne of the Lamb in worship.

In The City, For the City

Recently I introduced myself to a pastor I hadn't yet had the privilege of meeting. I told him I was with Karis. He responded, "Oh, yeah - the 'In The City, For The City' folks!" That was deeply encouraging to me. Although we are in no way perfect, and we have so far we need to go, that slogan has been far more than words for us.

Looking for a Bible Reading Plan? Three Recommendations and a Resource

Now's the time of year when we tend to think about changing our habits. Maybe you've even thought about reading through the Bible in its entirety in 2017. What a great idea! But maybe you don't know which plan to choose. I'm here to help. Based on doing this many times, here are my two favorite plans. I'll call one the SENSIBLE plan. I'll call the other the INSANE plan. I highly recommend both. I'll also throw in another one I'm considering.

A Change in How Giving Works

Effective at midnight on Friday, September 23rd, we’re no longer using The City to handle our giving. Instead, we’re switching to a new platform called GivingFire, which will help us steward donations better, and give everyone more options with giving going forward. This includes giving online, as well as new giving kiosks on Sundays and coming soon, Text-to-Give. Many of you are already using GivingFire to support our missionaries and church planters.
