SouledOut

A word from Terry Teykl

terry-teyklOur vision is to see Jesus magnified and to see the Church build bridges between denominations, promote racial healing and seek to love the hurting and disenfranchised. We believe that when prayer and evangelism are reunited that the Church will emerge as a powerful force for reclaiming the land and setting the captives free.

our mission

  • Building the Church in Prayer
  • Engage people to pray for those who do not know Jesus
  • Teach people to minister to the needs of others through prayer
  • Ensure that pastors are intentionally prayed for
  • Facilitate the building of places of prayer

To reach these goals we conduct Prayer Encounter seminars. In addition, we offer resources to assist people in the growth of their prayer life and to enhance their relationship with God.

God is @ Work in Hillsville: Don’t Miss this Sunday Night: SNL

This Sunday Night will feature SouledOut and Donna Godwin.

We recently found out that 1st Hillsville UMC is the 3rd Fastest Growing Church in Attendance in The Holston Conference of the United Methodist Church. There are many things that have happened to make this possible. #1 God is at work in and through the people of 1st Hillsville. #2 Many people have paid a high price to make changes and introduce new ministry avenues here in Hillsville. To name a few: The SNL (Sunday Night Live) service was added about 4 years ago and has grown from a handful to averaging better than 60 people each week and many times topping 100 people. The 8:30 worship service was added 2 years ago and after 2 years is averaging 40 to 60 people in attendance with more than 80 people on several occasions. Out Of The Box is the newest ministry that this church has stepped out in faith and committed to. Out Of The Box is a ministry to youth and many others but the focus is youth. It is a place where youth can come and feel no pressure to fit into something they are unfamiliar with. It is a place where they can hang out with friends, play pool, surf the net and it is a place where they also learn about Jesus Christ. Out of the Box has touched more unchurched people in the past 6 months than most churches will in years andthat is because it is an environment where people of all backgrounds can feel non-threatened. By the way when I say non- threatened I mean they do not feel that they have to dress or look a certain way to be welcome. The atmosphere is inviting to everybody. We have hosted 150 youth at one time, we have hosted a couples movie night, United Methodist Women, Ministry leaders, an Evangelism clinic, baby showers, wedding showers and birthday parties, Souperbowl Party and even SNL. Out Of  the Box is my kind of place because we also worship God there.

This week @ SNL our Band SouledOut will lead the service. This band is another of the ministry additions to the church in the past two years and they are outstanding. Check out their web site @ www.souledoutfumch.com

Donna Godwin will speak and Donna is gifted in Art and many other things. Donna’s heart comes out in her drawing. Check out her blog @ http://godw1nz.wordpress.com/

You will not want to miss this one!

Come as you are, no need to dress up!

Rev. Rage @ SNL

Sunday Night Live was a real blast last night. We had the Rev. Lance Turner or better known as Rev. Rage. He spoke about the 3 little pigs and the way they prepared and built their houses. Of course the Spiritual message is that we have to build our house and foundation on God’s Word. It was fun, lots of belly laughing. It is awesome to see how God uses men and women in different forms of ministry. I would love to be able to be as funny as Lance but God has called me to be me. By the way, God has called each of you to be you, what ministry are you applying yourself to?

Church, You Are Awesome!

Hillsville FUMC is a “Body of Christ” on the move. The church is us, me and you and the others that God has “Called Out”. The church is not the building, we only meet there.

I know this may not be good English but this is a blog and blogs I am told need to have a few typos and personal traits in them to be really good. I hope this is really good.

Tonight we had our church council meeting, started at 7pm and went to 10:30pm. That is a long meeting but isn’t it Awesome to know that a group of people are so interested in seeing God’s Kingdom grow that they would stay there that long. These folks have jobs that they work all day and then come to a church meeting and stay the evening, that is dedication and my hat is off to you church council members and committee chairs as well.

We discussed the space needs that are so great in our church. We have one class that is meeting on the stage in the fellowship hall, they are not complaining but we know that the interruptions are great. We have a large Tweens group that needs a place to call their own. We have a great band that needs a place to store the equipment they need to do the SNL service right. We have a great and growing Pre School that has so many storage needs for the little children. We have a Choir that is out of room, a Choir loft that is full and over flowing and Sunday school classes that are running out of room. Praise The Lord. These are great concerns to have and our Council is working to meet those needs.

We need to be diligent to pray for the leaders of the committees as solutions are sought and decisions are made. I would go so far as to challenge each of us to Fast and Pray.

As a matter of fact, my hat is off to all the folks in the Hillsville church that work so hard. From the youngest child, youth, young adult, adult and senior citizen. Hillsville is carrying out “The Great Commission”. You are making a difference in a dark world.

 You are AWESOME!
