It’s Baptism Palooza time again! This is one of our more unique services of the year. We will not be meeting at Quest, but just down the road at Morningstar Farm. You can get the address to the Loafmann’s in our online directory. If you’re not a part of it, you’ll need to join it to have access. It always makes us…

 It is hard to believe but we have already entered a new school year! The summer has come and gone, and we are now getting back into the school routine…whether we are ready or not. Last night at youth group, there was a pretty mixed evaluation of how well this first week of school has gone. It’s fun to see old friends…

Like most churches, Quest sponsors a variety of ‘break-out’ venues for people to get more connected and more personal.  Some of those venues are focused on developing interpersonal relationships and friendships.  At Quest, we believe that those relationships and friendships are vitally important.  They are one of the most fundamental elements of what people need to experience in life.  We also believe…

Last week, a group of 4th-8th grade students from Quest Kids and Quest Students had an amazing time at summer camp! We went to King’s Kids Camp at Camp Wartburg in Illinois, which is put on by a group of 3 other EFCA churches in St. Louis (St. Paul’s, Bethesda, and Christ Community). It was a great week to see God working in…

When I step back and survey the things that are important in life, it is always clear to me that the development and maturation of “kids” is paramount.  When I use the term “kids” I mean those who are in the fresh, and critically important, stage of life where they are weaving together an understanding of the world around them and their…

We have spent the last two weeks beginning our journey through the book of Jonah and it has been amazing to hear how the book has been sinking into our hearts. We are praying that God will use Jonah to shine a spotlight on God’s relentless love for all people and that it will draw us deeper into his mission to bring…

Can you think of anything more boring, and maybe even more antiquated, than a church business meeting?  For some people, their first thought is “who cares”.  And others think it would be “a waste of time”.  Still others begin to sharpen their battle swords for an opportunity to espouse their long held frustrations and to prove their superior thinking.  Then there are…

…and God’s Relentless Grace For the bulk of the rest of the summer, we will be looking at the Old Testament prophetic book of Jonah. Yes, the same Jonah that was swallowed by the whale, or the big fish, or whatever it was.  Now you might be thinking that you have heard the story a million times and it is possible that you…

Our Hospitality ministry (or The Counter) that is so gracious to provide coffee and donuts for us all each Sunday morning is in need of a few more volunteers to help. Their team needs people who are willing to coming in early to get coffee going and/or stay after service to help get things cleaned up. We ask that you seriously consider…

The last two years, we’ve sent teams to Houston to help partner with families devastated by Hurricane Harvey. Rather than going in and helping broadly with surface clean up (which there’s nothing wrong with, by the way), what Crisis Response does is a little different. The ministry partners with individuals/families in need of help and digs in and STAYS connected for several…
