Prayer Warriors, aim your camera at the QR code below to sign up for a prayer slot during Kairos ISP #28.

For those that don't know what Kairos is, it's an international prison ministry that hosts what are known as Inside Weekends. A team of volunteers spend four days inside prison walls with the intent to reintroduce incarcerated individuals to themselves, to the community, and to Jesus.

Supply Pastor Eric will be joining the team going inside the Indiana State Prison from October 15-18, 2026. We want every moment of that weekend covered in prayer. If you are interested in knowing more about Kairos or would like to be a guest at the closing ceremony to witness the power of God's love in action, please send a message!

Similar, but Different
2 Samuel 9

08/21/2026

Ever feel like you’re trying to earn your way back after a mistake? We often talk about "grace" and "mercy" like they mean the exact same thing, but they are two very distinct sides of God's love:

​Mercy clears the debt you couldn't pay.
​Grace gives you a seat at the table you didn't earn.

​Join us this Sunday as we dive into 2 Samuel 9 to discover how mercy heals our past and grace fuels our future. Whether you've been in church your whole life or haven't stepped foot in one for years, there is a seat saved at the table for you!

Did you know the biblical word for "rainbow" is actually a WAR BOW?

​When God placed His rainbow in the sky, He was hanging up His weapon—unstringing it and pointing it away from us. It’s a powerful picture of divine grace and peace.

​Join us this Sunday to discover how this ancient bow points straight to the Cross—and how we can lay down our own "weapons" of fear and anger.

Looking for a message that will shake up how you view your faith and your community? Join us this Sunday at 10:30 AM for a message titled "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" as we take a fresh look at the story of the Good Samaritan.

​It’s easy to imagine ourselves as the heroes of our own stories, but what happens when we realize we’re actually the ones in the dirt, in need of unexpected grace? Come ready to be challenged, encouraged, and reminded of what true community really looks like.

​Bring a friend, bring an open heart, and come as you are. We can't wait to see you there!
