In 2025, Senior Pastor Jimmy Agan will be teaching a three-part series on Women in the Bible. Part 1 begins this Sunday, Jan. 19 at 9:30 a.m. on the third floor. He will begin with an introductory look at two women Jesus praised as ideal disciples. Everyone is welcome! 

Beginning Jan. 14, the Christianity and Literature group will begin discussing Jane Austen's first published work, Sense and Sensibility, a novel with something for everyone. A story of selfishness and self-control, involving sisters—loving but very different; suitors—two honorable men and one charming cad (plus a hilariously obnoxious husband); secrets and silence; verbal and violent duels; and a spiritual undercurrent of repentance (false and real), forgiveness, and applying the Golden Rule at great cost. This is not just for ladies!

Gentlemen, “Real men read Austen and can read her with interest and profit.”

We meet on Tuesdays at the Agans' home in Tucker, beginning at 7:00 p.m. All are welcome, from middle school on up! Questions? Contact Tricia Agan.

Valued and Vital: One Body, Many Members
Jesus invites people of all kinds to love and trust him. And he wants a wide range of people—from all kinds of cultural backgrounds, with a diverse array of gifts, having come to faith in him from a host of starting points—to know that their contribution to his work in the church and the world is valued and vital. As we embrace these truths from Scripture, we will be more prepared to love each other more deeply and to reach a wider range of people with good news about Jesus. With this sermon series, let’s move toward this goal by giving close attention to what 1 Corinthians 12 says to us about being one “body” with many “members.”

You can feel it, even if you can’t define it. Significant cultural shifts are impacting North America, having taken root in other parts of the world decades ago. One way to describe these shifts is to say that our culture is becoming “Post-Christian.” But what exactly does that mean? How is a post-Christian culture different from what went before? And what are the implications for Intown? What will faithfulness to Jesus look like in this new environment? We will spend two weeks laying a foundation for understanding our culture and our calling with honesty, hope, and courage rooted in the goodness of Jesus and his gospel. Plan to join us on Nov. 10 & 17 at 9:30 a.m. and bring a friend!

Jesus often said that he searched for people, sought them and looked for them. He tells stories about searching for lost sheep, lost coins, and lost sons. He pursues people, calling them to belong to the family he is building from all nations, calling them to believe in all that he is and all that he offers. Jesus is calling Intown to join him in these acts of love—helping people we know belong and believe, not as mechanical process or religious project, but as a genuine demonstration that we have been marked by his love. Let’s discover together what it means to be marked by the love of Jesus, so that we can see that love touch more and more lives throughout our city. The series will begin on Oct. 27.
