Every September, as ministry activities resume around the church, there are opportunities to serve. But serving is much more than simply filling a need, it's about an opportunity to make an impact. Serving in church does more than just fill a need, it actually creates an opportunity for YOU to make an impact in people's lives. Regardless of the role you serve in, or the way you serve (behind the scenes, leading, teaching, practical help, etc.), all of them have the potential

If you are curious and interested in helping to steward our songs please come Tuesday Sept 15 and 22nd from 6-7pm. You will join Tawnya in taking a look at our song syllabus and partici

Outdoor Service Moved Indoors Today
Good morning, church family! We had planned to gather outside for our service today, but with the rain, we’ve decided to move everything indoors.

Traveling with God
As many of you prepare to travel this summer, God has placed something on my heart that I would like to share with you.

Vacations may change our surroundings and our routines, but they should never interrupt our walk with Him. Summer is a season when many people travel. We make plans, pack our bags, and go somewhere to rest, visit family, or enjoy new experiences. B

A Summer in Philippians
This summer we’re beginning a new sermon series through the book of Philippians called A Life Worth Living. Philippians is often called the letter of joy, but it teaches us something even deeper. True joy isn’t found in easy circumstances—it is found in Jesus Christ. Throughout this letter, we’ll discover how Christ gives us purpose, peace, strength, and hope no matter what life brings. Whether you’re reading Philippians for the first time or have studied it many times before
