Who is God, really?  God Has a Name is a series that takes us through Exodus 34, where God introduces Himself to Moses. Together, we'll discover His character through His own words and learn what it means to know Him, trust Him, and follow Him as He truly is, not simply as we've imagined Him to be.

This Sunday's message is called "Our Hands." Worship is more than singing songs or lifting praise. God also wants our hands. The way we serve, love, help, give, and care for others matters deeply to Him.

Why do bad things happen? It's a question as old as faith itself. In this series, we explore free will, the reality of sin and suffering, and the mystery of God's will. While we may not always find clear answers, we discover this truth: suffering is not pointless, and even in the hardest moments, God is present, working, and drawing us toward something eternal.

As unbelievable as the crucifixion and resurrection may seem, Easter reminds us why it matters that we believe. When Scripture asks, "Can anything good come from Nazareth?" it points to a deeper truth. God often works through the unexpected. This message explores how believing in the Gospel changes everything: how we see our past, how we live in the present, and the hope we carry into the future. 

We're bringing back a series this Sunday, and it's one we couldn't let go of. Royal Priests is rooted in 1 Peter 2 and is all about rediscovering who we are: chosen, set apart, and called to represent God in our everyday lives. Sometimes the truths we need most are worth revisiting, and this is one of them.

What if how we handle money is part of how we follow Jesus? Join us as we learn to trust Him with what's already His, with practical steps each week and space to process together in LifeGroups.

Elijah's story is not just about fire from heaven. It is about exhaustion, fear, doubt, and the quiet places where faith feels fragile. This is an honest journey through burnout, courage, and restoration. We would love for you to join us.

Psalm 37:4 says, "Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." As we grow closer to God, our desires begin to mirror His heart. In this series, we will look at people and stories throughout Scripture and see how even good things, when pursued too far or in the wrong way, can lead us off course and become something harmful.

Join us this holiday season as we celebrate the greatness of our God who came near to us and dive into a Christmas series filled with the hope and joy of Jesus' arrival.

We often think of blessings as things we have or moments that go our way, but the Bible paints a deeper picture. True blessing is found in being in Christ, loved by God, and saved by grace. Together, we'll discover what it means to live as people who both receive God's blessings and share them, sending His goodness into the world and living with gratitude as those chosen and adopted by Him.

We live in a spirit-filled world, but not all spirits are the same.  In this series, we will discover what Scripture really says about the unseen, without fear, just faith.
