Join us as Pastor Marcus begins our new series, In the Beginning, and discover what Genesis 1 reveals about God, His creation, and our place in His story.

In this message, Pastor Marco teaches how living as sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father changes everything.

In this message, Pastor Marco teaches how the gospel is not only that we are forgiven from our sins but it’s that we’ve been given a Father, a new family, and we now belong. We are no longer orphans but sons and daughters with all the rights and privileges our Heavenly Father has secured for us.

In this message, guest speaker Pastor Edgar shares how no matter how far you've wandered, the Father runs toward those who turn toward Him.

Ultimately, the Father doesn't just forgive—He fully restores what sin tried to destroy, extending His rel...

In this message, Pastor Marco shares how Jesus is the perfect revelation of the Father. If we want to know God, we can see His character fully revealed in Jesus. We don’t have to look at our imperfect earthly fathers to understand what God is like. Instead, we can look to Jesus for the approval, acceptance, belonging, and security we all long for.

In this message, Pastor Marco talks about how we are becoming a church who is living counter culture.

In this message, Pastor Marco talks about how we are becoming a church who is obedient to God’s Word. Obedience not only reveals our love for God but it also draws us closer in intimacy with Christ.

In this message, Pastor Marco describes what is meant when Paul commands believers to be filled with the Spirit in Ephesians 5.

In this message, Pastor Marco begins a new series through the book of 1 John entitled That You May Know.

In this message, Pastor Marco concludes the book of Ruth by showing how God finishes the story through Naomi, Ruth, and Obed.

In this message, Pastor Marco teaches from Ruth 4:1–12 and highlights the cost of redemption through Boaz’s faithful obedience at the city gate.

In this message, Pastor Marco continues the Ruth series by showing how God works quietly through ordinary obedience.

Even when God feels quiet, He is actively at work, guiding our steps and caring for His people.

In this message, Pastor Marco teaches from Acts 18, where Paul visits Corinth. Paul not only started new churches, he strengthened them by teaching God’s Word and empowering people for leadership around one mission.
