Special Service at Milburn Park
Renovate Church will not conduct our regular 10:00 a.m. morning worship service on Sunday, July 1st this year. Instead, we will be meeting as a church family at 6:30 p.m. at the Milburn Park large pavilion for a time of worship, inspiration, food, and fun! Bring a dessert, a game, and maybe even some sparklers as we celebrate our nation's independence. We’ll have a bounce house as well and this is a great event to invite your family and friends to so they can get to know our Renovate community. Look forward to seeing you on the 1st!
Renovate Welcomes Special Guest Speaker Dave Patty

Josiah Venture has seen over 30,000 young people come to Christ in the past 25 years.

He and his wife, Connie, live in the Czech Republic and have three children.
The God I Never Knew
Many times, the most misunderstood person in the Trinity and the church is the Holy Spirit. Many people are unsure of who He is and what He wants to do in their lives. In this new series, The God I Never Knew, we’ll investigate who the Holy Spirit is and explain His chief desire is for relationship—to offer us the encouragement, fellowship, guidance, and empowerment of a trusted friend. Moving beyond mere religious traditions and cultural misconceptions we’ll clarify who the Holy Spirit is and what He promises to do in our lives. This series will deepen your understanding of the Holy Spirit and encourage you in the way you interact with Him.

Students will participate in regular worship on those Sunday mornings and then gather in the U room at MUV for Catalyst. Special fellowship events are also planned throughout the summer.
