SERMON SERIES | now what?
A Study of the book of Acts
This year, after we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, we will launch into a lengthy study of the book of Acts, as we watch the Risen Jesus and his mission – and ultimately God the Holy Spirit – give birth to the church and propel it into the world to fulfill its purpose. All these centuries later, we at Storyhill are the continuation – at least a small part of it – of what we see happening in the book of Acts. May the words of Scripture reorient how we view both the deep love and the deep calling of our church … and each of us individually. Throughout the series, we will see and emphasize the themes of community and conflict and chiefly the Holy Spirit at work. And we will encourage, likely through a journal or something similar, each person at Storyhill to reflect on how they are joining in God’s mission and/or can take new steps to do so. Ultimately we hope to see Acts 16:5 in our corner of the world: “So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew daily in numbers.”
Know: The resurrection of Jesus, his mission, and the Holy Spirit enliven and drive us forward, in continuity with the early church.
Do: Be attentive to the Holy Spirit's work in our lives and life together, that we might engage with Jesus’ mission with clarity.

JUNE | Elder Nomination Month
STORYHILL ELDER NOMINATION
please read before nominating
Annually, an Elder Search Team is formed to receive and review elder nominations. This is a robust process which the Search Team and the nominees must enter prayerfully and open-handedly. This Elder Search Team, with approval of the Session, will present elder candidates to the Ministry Partners for an affirmation via vote. (*1) Any person who has been a Ministry Partner at Storyhill for at least 2 years is eligible to serve as an elder. Once affirmed by the congregation, elders typically serve 3-year terms on the Session. (*2)
As you consider nominating a person, consider these things:
Elders watch over the spiritual welfare of the congregation, serving as both guardians and overseers of this local congregation. They are both examples to and shepherds of the people around them. They often have a unique mix of courage and tenderness.
As such, those who serve as elders should be mature believers, gifted in ways that enhance Christ-centered leadership, led by the Holy Spirit, who exhibit a manner of life that conforms to Biblical passages like 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:5-9 (see also: Numbers 11:16-17; Exodus 18:21; Romans 12). (*3)
Being an elder is not an indication of special spiritual or leadership pre-eminence. Rather, it is a call to service and a particular kind of ministry. There are any number of wonderful ways that Ministry Partners can use their gifts to offer service and leadership in our congregation: leading a Serve Team, starting a Community Group, joining the Mission Partnership Team or the Administrative Team (Finance and Personnel) or the Fellows Steering Team, teaching children and youth, serving on a Church Plant Oversight Team, etc.
As an outgrowth of personal faith in Jesus, an elder should agree without reservation to the essential theological truths of the Christian faith (contained in the Apostles Creed, Nicene Creed, and the EPC’s Essentials). He/She should also have general agreement with the Westminster Confession of Faith (i.e. the historic theological statements of American Presbyterians), noting that exceptions are allowed and even appropriate.
*Practically, an elder will have to build friendships and working relationships across differences of generation, culture, and biological sex, so that the Session functions as a community where important decisions can be made. Because elders discern God’s leading together, each elder should be able to own their voice, listen to minority viewpoints, and ultimately yield to the wisdom of the whole. An elder resonates deeply with the mission and vision of Storyhill Church and desires to see the congregation become who God has called us to be.
If this sounds like someone you know at Storyhill, whether a Ministry Partner or an Elder not currently serving on the Session, we hope that you will nominate him/her to our current Elder Search Team.
Less-common nominations:
In addition to nominating Ministry Partners and currently-inactive Elders to serve on the Session, there are two other nominations the Elder Search Team can consider:
(1) An inactive elder of Storyhill can be nominated to the distinction of Elder Emeritus, when age or other situation prevents him/her from actively serving in significant church leadership AND the church desires to honor their significant service to Christ’s church with the honorary title “Emeritus.” To nominate an inactive elder for this recognition, simply note on your nomination form “I am nominating [inactive elder] not to serve on the Session but to be recognized as Elder Emeritus of Storyhill.”
(2) Someone who has served as an elder at another EPC church can be recognized as an inactive elder of our congregation. This distinction allows them to serve in places in the denomination and at Storyhill where an elder is required (on certain committees, certain search teams, etc). As a young church, it does help us to have a deeper bench of inactive elders, provided that these nominees fit the elder description shared above and are engaged in leadership at Storyhill. To nominate a person for this recognition, simply note on your nomination form “I am nominating [person] not to serve on the Session but to be recognized as an inactive elder of Storyhill, since [he/she] served as an elder at another EPC church.” (*4)
1. Session refers to the governing body of our church, comprised of both Teaching Elders (i.e. Pastors) and active Ruling Elders (i.e. Ministry Partners).
2. A person can serve two consecutive terms on the Session. After two consecutive terms, he/she must take a break of at least a year.
3. Storyhill is open to both men and women serving in the role of elder. (This is our collective position but does not have to be every Ministry Partner’s individual conviction.) We interpret phrases like “husband of one wife” or “faithful to his wife” to be emphasizing adherence to the Biblical sexual ethic (i.e. faithfulness in marriage and chastity in singleness) rather than a definitive pronouncement that elders must be men.
4. Such a recognition is technically an action of the Session, based on the recommendation of the Elder Search Team. A Ministry Partner vote is required for electing someone to a term of active service on the Session, as well as to distinguish someone as “Emeritus.”
YOUTH | FUGE Summer Camp
It’s time for round 6 of FUGE Camps! Join us for 4 nights at FUGE where we get to worship together, grow together and serve together! We are so excited for another summer camp opportunity of wild memories, God stories, and growing together while keeping Christ at the center.
STORYHILL STUDIES | Here to the Himalayas
Leaders | Jon and Christy Grimes
Bible translation may sound like an exotic “overseas” and cross-cultural endeavor, disconnected from the church here in your community, and yet there are significant lessons that can be learned from this ministry that has existed since the very foundation of the Church.
Join Jon and Christy, Bible translators in South Asia, for a night of connection and learning. During dinner, we’ll hear updates about the Grimes’ ministry. After dinner, we will explore together some lessons learned from the field of Bible translation. Using examples from experiences translating in a completely un-churched community we will wrestle with the implications for our witness no matter where God has placed us.
Youth are welcome to participate.

STORYHILL STUDIES | Habits of the Household
Leaders | Linda Reeb & Shanna Reeb
Parenting can feel like a constant rush from one moment to the next—but what if the everyday rhythms of your home are shaping something deeper? This one-night class, inspired by Habits of the Household by Justin Whitmel Earley, invites you to pause and see how simple, intentional practices can form both your heart and your family. Together, we’ll explore how the gospel meets us in the middle of daily life, bringing purpose and hope to the ordinary.
During our time, we’ll focus on three areas: forming parents, forming families, and forming children. No pre-reading is required.
This class is designed to be encouraging, practical, and interactive. You’ll connect with other parents, share experiences, and be reminded that you don’t have to do this alone.

STORYHILL STUDIES | Immigration
Leader | Kelly Hill
There's been a lot happening around immigration. If you've found yourself wondering, “What does the Bible really say about immigration?”, “How should Christians respond?”, or “What do I do if I disagree with other Christians on this issue?”, you're not alone.
In this summer study, we’ll spend much of our time in scripture, exploring immigration throughout the Bible.
Caution, curiosity, and conviction are welcome! Opportunities for deeper learning and engagement will be shared at the end of the class.
We know this topic can feel complex and deeply personal, and faithful Christians may not all land in the same place. Our hope is to approach one another with humility, curiosity, and respect as people made in the image of God who are all seeking to live in the ways of Jesus.

STORYHILL STUDIES | Healthability
Leaders | Bill + Katie Satterwhite
Healthability is the personal state of wholeness in body, mind, soul, and spirit that empowers you to fully live, lead, serve, and thrive.
Healthability is more than physical fitness. It is personal and unique to you. It is the condition of being healthy and whole so that you can do what you need to do, want to do, and are called to do. A 28-year-old marathon runner, a trial attorney, a stay-at-home mother raising four children, a police officer working nights, and a grandfather wanting to carry his grandchild to the park all have different definitions of what they need to be fit for.
Come and learn how to live to the fullest as we examine the 7 Fs of Healthability: Fingerprints (identity), Focus (Purpose), Finances, Fit for Duty, Fun, Friends, and Family.
Youth are welcome to participate.
STORYHILL STUDIES | Woman of the Word

This is a three-part class with dates in June, July, and August. You are welcome to attend as many classes as you are able. If you would like to participate but are unable to commit to all three classes, that’s no problem!

STORYHILL STUDIES | Are My Kids on Track?
Leaders | Maggie Pope + Katelyn King
As parents, it’s easy to focus on what we can measure: grades, behavior, and activities. But what about the deeper growth happening in our children’s hearts?
Join us for a discussion-based workshop centered on the spiritual milestones from Are My Kids on Track? by Sissy Goff and David Thomas. Together, we’ll explore how our children develop identity, faith, and a sense of purpose, and how we, as parents, can gently and intentionally guide that growth.
Whether you are cautious, curious, or committed, you are welcome here. Our hope is to create space for honest conversation, shared experiences, and meaningful next steps as we grow deeper—both as parents and in our own spiritual lives.
STORYHILL STUDIES | Hearing God
Leader | Marc Dickmann
Does God speak in ways that we can hear? If someone says they hear a voice that they suspect might be God’s, how can they be sure the voice is actually his? Shouldn’t we be (very) suspicious of anyone who claims, “I heard from God…”?
The “Hearing God” study is designed for anyone looking to explore developing a conversational, interactive relationship with the God of the Bible, while being mindful of the pitfalls and temptations that surely exist.
The class will be taught by Marc Dickmann, Storyhill’s Administrative Director, who brings a pastoral perspective to this important topic that will root class attendees in both a biblical framework and practical theology for use in the real world.
Youth are welcome!
STORYHILL STUDIES | The Bible as a Story
Leader | Heidi Karant
Many of us were taught to approach the Bible as a rulebook, a collection of verses, or a source of quick inspiration. But Scripture is so much bigger than that.
In this class, we’ll explore how to study the Bible thoughtfully and faithfully by learning to read it in context, understand its larger narrative, and engage it with both our minds and hearts. Together, we’ll explore questions like: Can we trust the Bible? How do we read difficult passages? What does context actually mean? And how does Scripture shape us over time?
Whether you are brand new to Bible study or have been reading the Bible for years, this class is designed to help you approach God’s Word with greater confidence, curiosity, and wonder.
MISSIONS | YoungLives Summer Camp
YoungLives Summer Camp
In partnership with YoungLives, team members will serve at Summer Camp by caring for and loving on the children of teen parents. YoungLives exists to support teen parents and their kids, and by serving in childcare, our team creates space for teen parents to hear the gospel and experience the joy of a classic camp week. It’s a meaningful opportunity to build relationships, bring encouragement, and be part of something life-giving, for both kids and parents alike.
Who can come: Open to ages 14–15 with a parent, ages 16–17 with a guardian, and men and women ages 18 and up.
STORYHILL STUDIES | Scripture Workshop
Whether you’re cautious, curious, or committed in your walk with Jesus, this summer study is for anyone ages 12–120.
One of the biggest challenges in spending time with God in scripture is simply knowing where to begin. Together, we’ll walk through the familiar words of Psalm 23 and let it guide us into a deeper, more approachable way of reading the Bible.
We’ll also explore practical tools and rhythms for those moments when you feel the pull to “be in scripture,” but aren’t quite sure how to respond. No matter your comfort level with the Bible, you’re not alone in that feeling. This workshop is designed to help make time in God’s Word feel more accessible, meaningful, and life-giving.
Bring a Bible, notebook, and pen if you have them. If not, no worries — we’ll have materials available for you.

STORYHILL STUDIES | Immeasurably More
Leaders | Tiffany Wilkinson + Nicole Perri
Serving is often one of the first ways we try to live out our faith. We sign up, show up, meet needs, and do our best to love people well. But...what if serving was less about checking a box and more about joining with Jesus where He is already at work? What does that even look like?
In this class, we’ll explore what it means to serve on mission, with eyes to see “His Kingdom come, His will be done,” and how our gifts, time, and ordinary acts of love can become conduits of the “immeasurably more” God promises in Ephesians 3. Together, we’ll consider how serving flows not from duty, pressure, or performance, but as an overflow of God’s love working through us for the sake of others.
Whether you serve often, are unsure where your gifts might fit, or are wondering how everyday life can become part of God’s mission, this class is an invitation to slow down, notice where Jesus is at work, and learn what it means to serve alongside Him.

STORYHILL STUDIES | Marriage in the Real World
Leaders | John + Heidi Karant
Marriage is beautiful, meaningful, refining...and sometimes just plain hard.
In this interactive workshop, Heidi and John Karant will share honestly from 28 years of marriage, family life, ministry, conflict, friendship, and growth.
Using themes from Tim Keller’s The Meaning of Marriage as a framework, we’ll explore how marriage is shaped not just by romance, but by grace, sacrifice, friendship, and intentional connection.
This is not a lecture or a “perfect marriage” seminar. It’s an honest, thoughtful, and encouraging conversation designed to help couples reconnect, reflect, and grow together.
Whether you’re newly married, or decades in, we’d love for you to join us!
STORYHILL STUDIES | Keeping Christ at the Center
Leaders | Amy Sylvestre + Crystal Alexander
At Storyhill, we often say, “Keep Christ at the Center,” but how do we actually do that?
Join us for a practical class that explores what it means to keep Christ at the center of your daily life. Using The Navigator’s wheel diagram as a guide, we’ll dive into the core rhythms of walking with God—practices that help you grow spiritually, stay grounded, and live intentionally each day.
This class is perfect for anyone who wants to grow in their faith but isn’t sure where to start, as well as for those who are familiar with the disciplines of grace and want to understand them more deeply so that you can apply them in your life and become more fully equipped to guide others at Storyhill, in your family, or in your community.
Our hope is that you will walk away with simple, practical tools you can start using in your daily life, keeping Christ at the center.
Come and See | Prayer Event
This group is open to anyone: whether you are cautious about Jesus, curious about Jesus, or committed to Jesus. Everyone is invited to “Come and See” what God might have in store for them.
We will begin with a brief teaching on prayer, and close with a prayer experience that connects with the teaching. Each person is invited to take the teaching and experience at their own pace.
This is a non-forced, non-rushed, and grace-filled night for everyone: no matter where you may be on your spiritual journey.
No registration is required. We will meet in the front lobby of the church.
ELEMENTARY | Summer Nights
At Storyhill Summer Nights, your kids will enjoy evenings full of laughter, games, and new friendships!

STORYHILL STUDIES | Church Leadership
Leaders | Drew Richards and Gray Segars
We will explore the various levels of leadership at Storyhill and consider how each contributes to a community marked by care, maturity, and unity.
This class will give you a clear and grounded picture of how the church is led, whether you’re considering stepping into a leadership role or simply want to understand how our church is led and cared for.
STORYHILL STUDIES | College Bible Study
Leaders | Katie Macturk, Jake and Katie Hall
College-age friends - we’ll discuss why you should study the Bible, various ways to engage with God’s Word, and skills that will help you continue in the Word throughout your life.
Our goal is to grow not only in understanding, but ultimately in love for God and others through hearing the Lord in His Word. We will build community as well by getting to know one another through games and
small groups.
Whether you’ve just graduated high school, just graduated college, or are college-age on an alternative path, college Bible study is for you! The study will be accessible to those totally new to the Bible and those who have studied the Bible their whole life, so invite a friend!
**Registration is not required
YOUTH | Summer Kick Off
We are celebrating summer with all our high school & middle school friends! Come hang out with the Youth crowd and enjoy some fun and dinner at Storyhill Church!
Communion Sunday
Communion, like baptism, is a sacrament, meaning it is both a symbol and an assurance of God’s covenantal love. There is a symbolic nature to communion, like baptism, in that it paints a picture of how Jesus loves his followers. And yet, it is not simply symbolic. In communion, we are strengthened by God’s love.
With communion, we remember the last meal Jesus shared with his first disciples before his crucifixion. Luke 22:14-16 - When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”
When the first Christians saw the crucifixion of Jesus, they understood what he meant when he said his body would be broken for us, and his blood would be poured out for us. Jesus offered himself willingly as the Ultimate Passover Lamb, whose sacrifice invites us to experience God’s mercy, whose blood seals his followers into a covenantal relationship with God now and forever.
How do we discern the body of Christ in communion? (1) In communion, we remember we are united with Jesus. In communion, we discern the body of Christ by recognizing that Jesus was broken and poured out for us. Jesus was crucified willingly to move our lives in a new direction as people who can be sealed in a covenantal relationship with God, as we say YES to Jesus. In communion, we remember that Jesus was [point] broken for us. So that we might be forever united with him, forever walk with him.

This prayer gathering is open to anyone: whether you are cautious about Jesus, curious about Jesus, or committed to Jesus. Everyone is invited to “Come and See” what God might have in store for them.

Good Friday Worship Night
Join us for a Good Friday Worship Night, a quiet evening of song, scripture, and silence as we reflect on the final hours of Jesus’ earthly ministry.
Good Friday carries a deep paradox. There is sorrow in the story of the suffering and death of Christ. Yet Christians have called this day good for centuries because through the cross came redemption and hope.
We invite you to take a moment to slow down, listen to the story, and sit with the weight of the cross as we prepare our hearts for the joy of Easter.

Rest assured: no one will call on you or make you pray out loud! Come and see and learn in a safe and quiet place where the love of God will fill your thirsty soul.
