In a world where loyalties shift like sand, God calls us to make a radical choice: Commit to something. Through both the Old Testament and the New, he calls us to stop limping between the world and the Lord, and pick a side. Join us for part 3 of our series, “Burn the Boats,” as we tackle this issue of loyalty.

Are you trying 10,000 ways to navigate life while ignoring the ONE way that actually works? We often compartmentalize our lives—giving God some boxes while keeping others locked away. Our work life, our personal habits, our pain, our relationships. We say "You can have this, Lord, but not that." But here's the truth: God doesn't fit in a box. Join us as we continue our series, “Burn the Boats,” lo...

Trusting God means purging the idols. In our new sermon series, "Burn the Boats," we are kicking off the new year with the reminder that the "if only" idol can't save us from our uncomfortable circumstances, but God can use them if we trust. Join us at 9am or 10:30am as we begin this new journey and a new year together.

When we think about what's most important, family almost always makes the list. Yet our family relationships can be complicated, especially during the holidays when we're supposed to gather together. Past hurts, disappointments, and years of small offenses can pile up like rust on a bolt—locking our hearts in place until we can't budge them ourselves. So what do we do? Join us as we discuss practi...

Hurt people hurt people, but forgiven people forgive people. Family dysfunction often stems from spiritual wounds, but Christ offers a way forward. When we realize the immense mercy we've received, we can extend that same grace to others—even difficult family members. Join us this Sunday at 9am and 10:30am as we explore the deeper reality behind dysfunction, and the powerful potential of mercy to...

This Christmas season, let's get honest about family. We all feel the pressure for that perfect Hallmark moment, but here's the truth: Jesus didn't come from a perfect family either. His family tree included heroes and villains, betrayal and redemption, dysfunction and grace. Stand to learn a lot about navigating our own family tensions by reflecting on his. Join us this Sunday as we begin a new s...

In a world flooded with AI-generated content, deepfakes, and endless social media voices, how do we know what's real? More importantly, how do we recognize truth when it comes to our faith? Join us at 9am or 10:30am for our final entry in our series, "Can I Ask That?"

The Bible’s message of salvation is clear…until it isn’t. There exist plenty of complex and nuanced situations that lead us wonder if salvation applies to X,Y, or Z. Join us this Sunday at 9am and 10:30am as we kick off our new sermon series, “Can I ask THAT?!” by exploring your questions surrounding the subject of salvation.

The Church isn't just a building you visit or an activity you do on Sunday morning. The Church is US—a community of people chosen by God, set apart for an incredible purpose.

Invitation is integral to the Christian experience. Our lives and eternities have been completely transformed because God invited us—once outsiders and strangers—to become part of His family through Christ, and today, we have the opportunity to continue his hospitality when we invite others.

Our relationship with wealth reveals our relationship with God. Both abundance and scarcity can tempt us toward misplaced trust, but generosity helps fend off temptation and guide us toward a healthy, God-centered relationship with wealth. 

Ready to discover what life's really all about? Join us for this message as we continue our 'Rooted' series and explore how serving others can fill our lives with lasting purpose and joy!

Where is God in suffering? We often ask this question when life gets hard. We are reminded through the stories of scripture, however, that perhaps He never left our side. Suffering doesn't mean God is absent, but it does demand we choose a perspective. Join us in this message for part 4 of our series “Rooted” in which we will wrestle with this important experience we all share. 

When we survey the world around us, we quickly observe the out workings of evil. The Bible reminds us that these effects are not the result only chance, but have spiritual roots. Join us this Sunday for part 3 of our series, "Rooted."

Everyone faces situations in life where they long to hear God speak. It could be an important decision, difficult trial, or a myriad of other circumstances. How does God speak to us today? 

This message marks the beginning of a church-wide journey of spiritual growth called, “Rooted.” This week we begin with the important question, “Who is God, really?” Join us as we embark together down this pathway of knowing him deeper, and finding ourselves more fully in Christ.  

The book of James reminds us that we can't have it both ways. Friendship with the world means hostility with God. Our attempts to play both sides often lead to envy, quarrels, and a powerless faith. The solution? Humble ourselves completely before the Lord. Join us for the conclusion of our sermon series, “Straight to the Point,” as we wrestle with one of the most persistent challenges of the Chri...

Words have the power to direct our ways and shape our lives. By disciplining our words, we harness their power to set our whole being on a God-honoring path. Join us for part 3 of our sermon series, “Straight to the Point,” where we will be looking at the subject of speech in the book of James.

Faith is equal parts belief and action, transforming not just what we say, but how we live as well. Join us this week for part 2 of our series, “Straight To The Point,” as we tackle the nature of faith, deeds, and the need for both.

What is the relationship between the faith we profess and the trials we experience? Should faith make life easier? Should it provide helpful tips and tricks for avoiding difficulty? The book of James gets straight to the point. No pain, no gain. Trials have an important purpose. Join us as we begin a new sermon series, “Straight To The Point.” Don’t miss out!

Never underestimate how God can use one committed person to transform the world around them. We don't need to be famous or powerful - simply choosing to live with love and integrity can advance God's purposes in remarkable ways, even in a crazy, messy world.

Life is messy, and sometimes we believe it to be impossible to turn things around. We are reminded in scripture, however, that it is never too little, too late, or too far gone to repent and begin anew. Join us for part 4 of our sermon series, “Crazy, Messy People.”

Often we mistakenly assume that there is a mythical group of people out in the world that has “figured it out” and “has it all together.” These people don’t really exist, but the myth nonetheless works against us, convincing us that our personal craziness and messiness is more unique than it truly is. We learn in the book of Judges, however, that not only is everyone messy, God almost exclusively...

In this message, we kick off a new sermon series entitled, “Crazy, Messy People.” This week, we are diving into the book of Judges to discover how God works through the chaos. Just like He used even the messiest situations in Israel's history, God is still sovereign over every crazy mess in our lives today.

In this message, we will continue our 'Things Dad Taught Me' sermon series. We will be diving into timeless wisdom for everyday life regarding speech, because in a world full of noise, learning to use our words well can change everything.
