The church welcomed seven teenagers and two chaperones from Wisconsin Lutheran High School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Saturday, June 24.
Billory Baptist Church in Holley is constantly striving to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ in this world. Part of that mission is ministry work, namely the ‘Bread of Life’ Food Pantry and Clothing Closet, which is ran directly out of the church.
“To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair.” – Isaiah 61:3
Losing a loved one can be a hard thing to deal with. Losing a spouse, the person you chose to walk through life with, can be even more difficult. A local nonprofit wants people to know that they are not alone.
From their food pantry to mission work to community events, Navarre First Assembly of God is known for quite a few things. They are also known for their Royal Rangers outpost.
Royal Rangers is a boys ministry program of the Assemblies of God churches. Founded in 1962, Royal Rangers was the brainchild of Rev. John Henry “Johnnie” Barnes, a preacher from Texas who was tasked with developing a boy’s ministry.
A guardian angel will soon watch over the people who visit Community Life Church’s prayer labyrinth and garden.

For most churches, serving the community is an aspect of their overall mission but for a new church being planted in Navarre, it is at the core of everything they do.
GPS Church, which will begin holding services Sunday, May 28, is centered around the idea of being present in the community and in people’s lives. The GPS in GPS Church stands for “God’s People Serving.”
Mothers play an important role in our lives. They also play an important role in the Bible, especially Mary, the mother of Jesus, who Christians believe was not only the Son of God but the salvation of all mankind.
With Mother’s Day coming up, Navarre Press reached out to several female church leaders in the Navarre area to talk about motherhood and how it intertwines with their faith.
