A PLACE TO BELONG
The Church at the Butte is A Place to Belong. Whether you are a community leader, business owner, retired senior, single adult, or a young family you can find A Place to Belong with us.
Together, we are making a difference in our community through The Shepherd’s Closet, Meals on Wheels, All-Stars for children, WIRED for youth and Legacy for seniors. We also help support church planters throughout the United States, thousands of missionaries in approximately 200 countries.
Several of our members make trips to our mission church in Mexico to support them and strengthen their service. We participate with Franklin Graham’s Operation Christmas Child. This ministry distributes gift-filled shoe boxes to children throughout the world, demonstrating that people matter to God.
Drop in on a Sunday morning just after nine o’clock for Coffee and Conversation. Then stay for Sunday Morning Worship at ten o’clock. Pick up some brochures and make a couple of new friends. You may discover A Place to Belong sooner than you think.

Sermon 12/25/2022
Sunday Sermon 12/25/2022
Two life changing events: Birth, Death
Birth always leads to death
Jesus experienced both
Jesus’ birth: Luke 2:1-20
We like to keep Jesus as a baby because:
Babies are not dangerous
Babies do not challenge our beliefs
Babies can be controlled
The cradle is empty!
Jesus’ death: Matthew 27:45-51 & John 19:28-30
Jesus’ death was:
Painful
Bloody
Disturbing
Jesus’ death gives meaning and purpose to:
His life
Our lives
The cradle must lead to the cross
Because of sin
Hebrews 9:22
1 Peter 1:18-19
Because of righteousness
Romans 3:10
Romans 3:20-22
Because of God’s desire
2 Peter 3:9
1 John 1:7
Because Jesus wants to be our friend
Colossians 1:21
John15:13-14
Jesus was born to be our Savior: Matthew 1:21
Jesus died to be your Savior: 1 John 2:2
Jesus rose to be your Lord: Colossians 2:6
Jesus is returning to be our King: Revelation 19:16
The cradle is empty
The cross is empty
The tomb is empty
Jesus is alive!
This Christmas make sure that Jesus is your Savior, Lord, ad King
