“If you’re looking for a church where you can grow in your relationship with God in community with others, DPC is the church. From the time you walk into the building, until you leave, you know you are in the house of God. If you’re hungry for something more, come see for yourself!"

𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞:

After prayer and much consideration we have made the decision not to gather this Sunday (1/25). This is due to the predicted weather and widespread sickness many are experiencing. We want to encourage everyone to take time to rest, recover, and stay safe.

Events scheduled for this week will be pushed back to the following Sunday and we will gather on Wednesday at 6:30 PM for a special night of worship and prayer. 🙏

Is there a better place to be kicking off the 3rd week of 2026 than in the presence of the Lord!?

We know the weather is shaping up to make for a cold rainy Sunday, so please use caution while traveling in! We will have the heat on and coffee ready for you. May the presence of the Lord rain down on us, saturating every heart and life!!

DPC Morning Worship | Sundays at 10:30 AM | 904 S. Walker St. Burgaw, NC

Let’s gather in faith and expectation, as we intercede together. 🙏

𝑴𝒂𝒅𝒆 𝑵𝒆𝒘!

Yesterday we were able to hand these two young ladies a “Made New” box with a Bible and other resources to help them begin their faith journey.

God is doing an amazing work here in Pender County and they are 2 of 41 souls that have been saved over the weekend at the revival at Cora’s Grove Church!

We celebrate new life, transformed lives, and the Kingdom work being accomplished through this ministry of Jay Boyd and the Coras Grove Church. Revival is continuing on through Wednesday!!

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” ‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

There’s always something special about the first Sunday of the year. Let’s lay a foundation together that puts Christ first. 10:30 AM is coming quick, so get ready and meet us at 904 S. Walker St. in Burgaw!

2025 was a year of growth and blessing for our church family.

We saw prayers answered, miracles take place, new families find a home, and lives transformed by the power of Christ. God is truly building a dwelling place among us!

As we step into 2026, we are believing for even greater impact as we continue to serve Burgaw, reach our community, and strengthen people in their faith. There is no limit to what God can do.

“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think…”
— Ephesians 3:20–21

✨ Here’s our invitation:
👉 Share a testimony of how God moved in your life in 2025
👉 Join us in 2026 and be a part of what God is building!

We can’t wait to see what the Lord does next! 🙌

This Sunday is Selah Sunday.

Selah is a biblical word found throughout the Psalms.
It means “Pause. Reflect. Lift your eyes.”

It isn’t something God–or the Psalmist speaks. It appears when the music stops so the meaning sinks in.

First Use:
📖 Psalm 3:2 - “Many are saying of my soul, ‘There is no salvation for him in God.’ Selah” David pauses in the middle of distress, before declaring trust.

He concludes in verse 8: “Salvation belongs to the Lord. Your blessing is upon Your people. Selah”

👉 Selah appears before resolution, not after it.

2025 isn’t over yet. You may have not found resolution yet to some situations you have been praying for. Pastor Ashton and I want to encourage you to:

- Reflect on where God has been faithful in 2025.
- Look ahead to where He is leading in 2026.

Sometimes the most powerful worship
happens when we stop long enough to listen, lift your eyes to your Creator, and Selah.

God Bless you everyone!
- Pastor Tommy

𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫: 𝐍𝐨 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝟏𝟐.𝟐𝟖.𝟐𝟓

Pause. Reflect. Rest. Enjoy time with family.

We will see you on New Years Eve!

Anyone still rejoicing over the Good News!?

We pray you all had a wonderful Christmas!

The Southern Lights at @johnson.nursery was a real treat this Christmas season! The lights were beautiful and the experience was even better shared with church family! 🎄

What a sweet celebration of Christ’s birth and a powerful reminder that Emmanuel is still with us today! Merry Christmas everyone!

Mark your calendars!

- Christmas at DPC
- Selah Sunday
- NYE Service
- Prayer Nights

We are closing out 2025 with gratitude and great expectation! Come be a part of what God is doing!

✨ You’re invited! ✨

Join us this Christmas as we celebrate the hope, peace, and joy found in Jesus.

🎄 Christmas Service at Dwelling Place Church
📅 12.21.25 | ⏰ 10:30 AM | 📍 904 S. Walker St.

The pace of life is hectic this time of year. Let’s pause together and focus on the reason for the season! Let’s worship Christ our king and lift His name in Burgaw today. Unsure about attending church? This is your invitation to meet us for worship at 10:30 AM! 904 S. Walker St. Burgaw, NC

Anyone thankful for the Lord’s blessings!? 🙌

Some sweet reminders from last weekend at DPC. The Lord is giving us peace for the “piece” we’ve been given. We trust You Lord!

Need some hope, encouragement, or strength? Join us tomorrow morning! We believe you’ll find it in God’s presence. 🙌

Morning worship at 10:30 AM | 904 S. Walker St. Burgaw, NC

It’s going to be a BIG weekend at DPC and we are expecting nothing less than for God to do BIG things!

Rhonda Holland will be with us Friday at 7 PM & Sunday Morning at 10:30 AM!

Sunday is a special celebration, honoring The Vinceks for their pastoral leadership and dedicating baby Ezekiel to the Lord. Food will follow the service, so bring a side dish and plan to spend some time with the DPC church family!

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” – John 15:13

Today we pause to honor our veterans—those who have shown this kind of love through their service. Thank you for your sacrifice. May the Lord bless you with peace and strength. 🇺🇸

On Sunday the Lord ignited hearts and moved among us in such an incredible way! 🔥

Pastor Ashton challenged us to be wood gatherers this week and to be intentional about letting that fire continue to blaze in our hearts. Has anyone been gathering wood? Diving into the Word more? Allowing the Holy Spirit to breathe upon you during times of worship and prayer?

We will continue fueling the fire corporately as we gather for prayer on Thursday evening! We invite you to join us for this time of focused prayer.

If you need prayer be sure to send in your requests so that we can intercede on your behalf. 🙏

That time of year is here 🍂🔙⏰

Turn those clocks back an hour tonight and enjoy a little extra sleep. In the morning we will gather for an amazing day of worship and encouragement that you do not want to miss! So many have been facing added stress and pressure from life. Come find peace in God’s presence and hope for these uncertain times.

Fill seats. Fill hearts. Fill the room with Your presence!

Morning Worship | 10:30 AM | 904 S. Walker St.

Sometimes we have this idea that it takes big faith to see God move in our lives. However, scripture tells us that just a little faith can have BIG impact. Want to know more? Pastor Tommy unpacked this idea on Sunday. Catch the latest message on YouTube or podcast.

Arise & Shine!

Over the past month, we’ve witnessed heartbreaking violence and wickedness—two of these major events happening right here in our own state. Our hearts ache as we grieve the innocent lives lost and the sense of safety that’s been stolen from so many. Even this past Sunday, believers in Michigan saw their entire lives turned upside down while gathering for worship.

It may feel like darkness is winning, but we must remember this: there is a light that shines brighter than it all—the light of Christ. In days like these, it is our calling and responsibility to reflect that light. Don’t shrink back. Don’t be ashamed. Instead, be bold, stand firm, and shine bright for Christ in the midst of the darkness.

Anyone else still soaking in all God did yesterday?

Thank you God for your presence and for touching your people! 🙌

MDWK prayer is this Wednesday at 7:00 PM. How can we pray for you?

What a powerful prayer to start the day. Teach us to do YOUR will Lord. Let us be led by YOU! 🙏

If an invite card was placed in your hand this week, we’d sure love to see you at DPC this morning. Going to a new church can be intimidating, but we hope you’ll find yourself feeling right at home as smiling faces wait to greet you!

Ladies Night was POWERFUL on Friday! 🔥

Thank you for sharing your heart with us, Minister Joyce Sykes.

Stay tuned for details on the next one! 📆

Something special is in store for tomorrow, it’s Missions Sunday! One of our very own, John Adams, will be sharing about Rehoboth Ministries and the work they do in Haiti! John has lived in and served the people of Haiti for numerous years. He will be going back next month for a visit and we will get the opportunity to support and sow into the ministry that will be taking place. We invite you to join us and partner with the work that is taking place to grow the Kingdom of God!

Sometimes life may be shaky, but there is a solid foundation we can build upon! Pastor Tommy is going to be sharing about how Christ is our Cornerstone. Let’s grow in God’s Word together!

Caption this…

We think Pastor Tommy is saying “I want to see YOU at church tomorrow.” 😄

What do you think?

Every chair filled is a life we believe is being touched by God. We are excited to see how lives will be changed tomorrow morning in God’s presence at 10:30 AM!

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”

If it’s not good, then He’s not done! 🙌

Yesterday we were reminded to go back to the basics and focus on the cross. Lord, let us come back to the heart of worship and not become overwhelmed by the cares of this life. We have a message of hope and healing to take to the world. Help us not become distracted, but more intentional than ever to share that message and live lives that are pleasing to you!

God is worthy of all praise at all times!
There’s less than an hour until we get to celebrate His goodness together in Burgaw. There’s still time to plan to join us at 10:30 AM! Let’s exalt His name together!

We are praying for an overwhelming joy to touch the lives of all present today at DPC! We hope to see you in the room at 10:30 am.

The newest member of Dwelling Place Church has made his arrival! Pastors Tommy and Ashton welcomed their son, Ezekiel Thomas, into the world on Sunday! We celebrate God’s goodness!

Looking for a sign that you’re supposed to be in church tomorrow? Here it is!

Coffee & Connect | 10:00 AM
Morning Worship | 10:30 AM

904 S. Walker St. Burgaw, NC

Start your week off right—come spend Sunday morning in God’s house!

Church isn’t just about going to a building or checking a box. It’s where we show up with open hearts, knowing God meets us there. Worship helps refocus us, the message gives us strength, prayer brings change, and being around others reminds us we’re not in this alone.

You’ll never regret putting God first!

See you at 10:30 AM | 904 S. Walker St. Burgaw, NC

God is still moving, still speaking, and still touching lives. We can’t wait to see what He has in store for us as we gather together tomorrow morning at 10:30 AM!

We are still planning to gather tomorrow morning for worship! Please use caution when traveling and make the best decision for you and your family. In the event of needing to cancel due to the tropical storm, we will share that decision no later than 8:15 am. We are praying for the safety of all in the path of this storm.

Thank you to all who participated in the month long baby bottle campaign to raise funds for Life Line Pregnancy Center. The work that they do to come alongside of those experiencing unplanned pregnancies is simply amazing. From free ultrasounds, pregnancy testing, resourcing, and more they are making an incredible difference in helping mothers “choose life!” If you’re interested in learning more about their services or how to partner with them feel free to reach out!

Freedom, church family, and a great day of fellowship! 🇺🇸
