If you’ve been following the news around Erie First lately you’ve probably heard by now that Pastor Nichole Schreiber has announced her impending departure as Erie First’s lead pastor.

For the next two weeks we’re going to share her final sermon series where she’ll look back at the last ten years of ministry and leadership as well as look ahead to what God has promised for our church family in the future.

Through all the highs and lows of following Jesus together as church family, we have much to be grateful for.

Does it feel to you like our culture is growing more negative and hostile to one another? As Christians, what can we do to combat this continuous negativity?

Pastor Jonathan Dutcher is sharing with us today to discuss how we build and grow relationships that are life giving instead of life draining. How can we overcome the spirit of contempt and replace with a culture that brings honor to one another?

We believe that God is calling us to bring the hope of Jesus to Everyone, Everywhere. As a church family, we are approaching that vision through three distinct areas called Prayer for Every Household, Worship in Every Zip Code, and Resources Every World Region.

Pastor Nichole concludes this series by looking at the need to stay faithful in our commitment to share the gospel around the world.
