creationMinistries2015Jamestown (CSi) Victory Lutheran Church in Jamestown will start the expansion project late this summer.

On Friday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Pastor Shawn Bowman said the $2.4 million project consists of adding to the sanctuary with 400 seats, plus expanding the Fellowship Hall, and the kitchen.

He adds that the goal of raising $1.4 million is at $1 million dollars, with the overall project costs at $2.4 million. The balance will come from a loan.

He said the project will start when all the funding is in place.

Shawn pointed out that the church’s inflatable airgames will be held in conjunction with Kite Fest this June.

Topics will include…

Dinosaurs and the Bible

People of all ages are captivated by dinosaurs. Unfortunately, evolutionists use dinosaurs to indoctrinate the young and the old with an earth history that includes millions of years but has no room for the Bible. This presentation will show the power of a person’s starting assumptions (or “worldview”) when interpreting past events, and will define the different types of sciences used in investigating the world around us, with a thorough exploration of these enigmatic lizards. Let’s take dinosaurs to the Bible and see what God’s word has to say about them!

Design, Deluge & Dilemma

We can tell when something shows evidence of having a human designer. So when things in nature show those same characteristics—only on a much more complex level—it makes sense to attribute that to a Designer as well. Jonathan discusses several evidences of magnificent design in nature, including DNA, molecular machines, the complexity of the cell, and more. He also demolishes arguments of ‘bad design’.

The Christian Roots of Science & Busting the Myths of Evolution

Why did science flourish in the West, and only the West? The biblical worldview provided the presuppositions that allowed science to flourish while it was stillborn in other places such as Greece and China. Evolutionists deny this biblical foundation for science by accusing Christianity of superstitions that held science back. Jonathan deftly busts the myth of the ‘Dark Ages’—a time marked by many scientific advances.
