A life isn’t measured by what it accumulates but by what it deposits into someone who can carry the work forward. 2 Timothy 2:1-7 invites us to faithfulness, legacy, and the charge every generation carries to entrust what they’ve received to those coming behind them. Come learn more - and build with us.

Ever sat through a meeting, a family gathering, or a church business session where everybody had something to say and nobody was really listening? The early church knew that problem too, and Acts 15 shows us how they got out of it: not by out-talking each other, but by listening — to the Spirit, to Scripture, and to one another.

This Sunday, Rev. Dr. Andre Bennett brings the message "When the Church Listens", a call to measure faithfulness not by volume but by attentiveness. If you've ever wondered what it would take for the church (and maybe your own life) to actually hear God's voice again, come be part of it.

Every transition asks the same question: will you move before you feel ready? This Sunday, Rev. Dr. Jaron Green preaches a message for anyone standing at the edge of something new, unsure but not alone. Join us in worship as we remember that God's promise to Joshua is God's promise to us too: "I will not leave you nor forsake you."

You've already decided the story is over. What if the story just walked up beside you and you didn't notice — because you'd stopped expecting God to speak?

Bless me, Too!!!! He came in from the field hungry, did everything right, and still watched the blessing go to someone else. You can hear the ache, "Bless me — me too, my father!"

If you've ever felt overlooked. Forgotten. Like the moment that mattered happened without you in it — this Sunday is for you.

Rev. Dr. Jaron S. Green preaches "What About Me? Bless Me Too!" from Genesis 27, and brings us a word we all need to hear: God still sees you. God still hears you. There's still a blessing with your name on it.

What does the beginning of everything have to say about right now? Well, Wisdom suggests that you cannot know where you are going until you know where you have been!

This Sunday, Rev. Darrell R. Hamilton II brings a message rooted in the ancient creation story of Genesis 1 — and in a West African concept that has sustained Black communities for generations: Sankofa. Translated simply, Sankofa means “go back and get it.” Before you can move forward with clarity and purpose, you have to know where you came from and what you almost left behind.

Sunday, June 14 (11:00 am) “Going Back, Before Going Forward” Genesis 1:2-2:3 What does the beginning of everything have to say about right now? Well, Wisdom suggests that you cannot...
