OUR VISION

We envision a church unified in Christ that actively seeks to courageously share God's amazing love. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we will foster spiritual growth and positive relationships while ministering to the diverse needs of our community and world.

We seek to humbly serve Christ in Colonial Heights and Chesterfield, Virginia.

WELCOME

At Ivey Memorial, we try to live out this teaching in our individual lives and our life together. We gather for worship to express our thanks, to find comfort and direction and to yield ourselves to being a part of God's mission on earth. Children, youth and adults, each in their special ways, gain new understanding in our Sunday School and women's, men's and youth groups as well as numerous special small group opportunities we offer. All the while friendships are being forged, and life takes on new meaning. We go out into the world truly empowered.

We invite you to join us in worship at 8:30 a.m. or 11:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings or for any of the activities described on our site.

THIS SUNDAY

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do: by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and to deal with sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, so that the just requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For this reason the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law - indeed it cannot, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

But you are not in the flesh; you are in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit that dwells in you.

Romans 8:1-11 (NRSV)

Have you ever noticed that occasionally the colors on the pulpit, lectern, and alter change. It's not because we like some colors better than others. Each color is tied to a specific season of the Christian year.

Green is a color that symbolizes growth. During the season of Kingdomtide, or Common Time, we consider how we may grow in the knowledge, love and grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
