We'll identify the barriers that can hold us back and discover how the finished work of Christ and the help of the Holy Spirit provide the support we need to move forward.No matter where you are in your journey, we believe Sunday's message will bring a fresh perspective and renewed hope.

Doing Life Together
Throughout church history, Spiritual Rhythms have ebbed and flowed as the community of faith seeks to live out the mission of Christ together. Spiritual Rhythms are not a checkbox to accomplish, rather they’re a way of life which deepen our relationship with God, each other, and equip the people of God to live out His mission in the world. Starting this week, we will explore 5 critical Rhythms, why they matter, and ways we can practice them today. Join us this Sunday as we explore the first foundational Rhythm and experience community lived out in front of us as we welcome back the Waterboyz Men’s Choir!

Come to the Table
A New York Times article published earlier this year was entitled: Americans are Unhappier Than Ever. Solo Dining May be a Sign. The article reports that America has slipped to its lowest ranking in the World Happiness Report and that researchers believe eating alone is a key contributor. Why should we care? What does this have to do with following Jesus, anyway? Come to the table- all are welcome- see you online or in-person on Sunday!

His Story, Our Story and Yours
The stories of the past – especially our familial past – form an essential frame for the canvas of many of our lives. Or, if our familial past is unknown, we might find ourselves illuminated by the stories of our country's past or the past stories of the people group with which we are associated. The bottom line is that our perception of the events that came before us can provide powerful context, perspective, and even guidance for our decisions moving forward. Join us this week as we begin a new series titled ‘Jesus Stories’ and learn to see our stories in the light of the story of the One who came before us and calls us into His family tree.

Jesus; The Best Promise
Do you feel like life is constantly trying to pull you off course? Or drag you backward - back to the past - to something that you remember as more comfortable than today? Maybe its something that was good in your past, something that you remember as secure and stable - something that provided answers that made sense. Maybe its something bad - something you don't really want to go back to, but because it's familiar, it exerts a pull nonetheless.  This pull is not new - its a challenge Christians have always faced. Because sin is always the false promise that there is something better than the God who created us, and if we could just get to THAT, we'd be happy. In this message with Elder Michelle Rader, we continue our Hebrews series and look at how Jesus is BETTER than anything in our past and BETTER than any other answer we could pursue for our future. He's the hope all of history was moving toward before he came, and the hope all of history is rooted in ever since. And we need to be reminded of that all the time in this crazy world!

Anchor of Hope
Have you ever found yourself feeling like God’s promises are distant, or that they’ll never come to pass? Hebrews reminds us that God is always faithful, and He will fulfill every promise He’s made. In this message with Youth Ministry Coordinator, Bryce Greene, we continue the second part of our Anchor Series, diving into Hebrews 5 and 6. Together, we explore who the author is speaking to, the challenges they’re facing, and how we can apply these truths to our own lives. Whether you’re in a season of waiting or doubt, this message will remind you that Jesus is our anchor of hope.

Generations Sunday: We Need Each Other
Every generation brings their own uniqueness to the world. Through lived experience, technological advancements, geopolitical and economic shifts, and even parenting styles; each generation comes on the scene with different ideas and new ways to do things… often to the horror of the generations before. But how do we ensure these generational wars we see in culture supposed don’t get replicated in the church? Do the scriptures have anything to say about the way generations should work together to build up The Body? Join us for Generations Sunday as we celebrate an inter-generational approach to church and acknowledge that we all have something to learn from one another, older and younger alike.
