This fall, we are launching a new sermon series on Sunday mornings that is the second installment of eleven parts of the gospel of Matthew in the New Testament.  We covered most of part one last spring and what remains will be addressed during Christmas of this year. The fifth, sixth and seventh chapters of Matthew gives us the content that we…

For those of you who tend to watch the ‘financial markets,’ you are always looking for the most productive places to invest your financial resources.  Obviously you want to get the ‘biggest bang for your buck’ that you can.  Nobody wants to waste their resources.  The same principle works in other areas of our lives.  We all have other resources we can…

 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.

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).

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.
