A couple days ago, we shared pictures from Illini Life’s baptisms at our Celebration Sunday service. Today, we wanted to share footage from the morning. We hope you enjoy and can participate in the joy we are still riding.

Our missions agency, Reliant, has undergone a rebrand and new mission going forward that we’re super excited about.

The one word that will change your disciple making
The summer in any church is a time of different rhythms. This is particularly true for campus churches. We send students to leadership training programs, have smaller cookouts and lower key worship times, and some of us (the Hables(!) are raising financial support.

The Hables’ June 2015 Prayer Update
Check out MailChimp for our most recent update letter. We’re really excited to see what God’s done this summer already!
The Hable Summer Plans!
This summer is a big one for us. In many ways, we’d love to say we were going to the mountains of Colorado or the peaceful and majestic Lake George. It’s always a joy to be at the LT programs and be in the midst of what God is doing with college students during the summers. We’ll miss the 14 students that we’re sending to LT in New York this summer. We know they will see God move in their lives.
As for us, we have some pretty big and exciting goals
