God knew you. Not merely knew about you. He loved you. He chose you. He set His affection upon you.

Sometimes God’s greatest work is happening when we understand it the least. Join us as we explore Jesus’ promise in John 16:16–24 that grief gives way to glory, sorrow gives way to joy, and because Christ is risen, the believer’s best days are always ahead.

What if opposition to Christianity isn't evidence that something is wrong—but evidence that Jesus was right? Join us in John 16:1–4 as we see how Christ prepares His people to stand firm when faithfulness brings hatred.

This summer, your child is invited on a journey that is far greater than mere entertainment.
Every year, parents sign their children up for countless activities—sports camps, music lessons, clubs, vacations, and adventures. Many of these things are good gifts and valuable experiences. But there is one investment unlike any other:
Helping your child come face to face with eternal truth.
At Vacation Bible School 2026, children will journey through the grand story of the Bible—from Creation to the Cross—through The Lamb, while also experiencing the unforgettable dramatic reading of C.S. Lewis’ beloved classic, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
Together, these stories point to the same glorious reality:
there is a God Who made us,
a world broken by sin,
and a Savior Who came to rescue His people.
Through the sacrifice of the Lamb…
through the courage of Aslan…
through the wonder of Narnia…
children will encounter the themes of redemption, forgiveness, sacrifice, resurrection, and victory over evil.
These are not merely stories.
These are truths with eternal consequences.
There may be many good things to involve our children in—but nothing compares to helping them understand the God Who created them, the God Who loves them, and the God Who made a way for sinners to be restored to Himself through Jesus Christ.
A single week can shape a child’s heart for a lifetime.
And by God’s grace, it may shape their eternity forever.
Join us this summer for an unforgettable week of truth, wonder, worship, and adventure.

Much of what passes for “Spirit-filled ministry” today places man at the center rather than Christ.
The focus becomes:
“How did you feel?”
“What experience did you have?”
“What manifestation occurred?”
But biblical Christianity asks:
Did Christ increase?
Was Christ proclaimed?
Was Christ worshiped?
Was Christ obeyed?
Were sinners brought to repentance and faith in Christ?
That is the evidence of the Spirit’s work. Because the Spirit bears witness to Christ. And understand this carefully: apart from the Holy Spirit, no one would ever believe.
