Alpha is still on for tonight! We hope to see you there!

Our last meeting and group discussion was SO GOOD! The topic that night was "Who Is Jesus?"

Next week, the topic will build upon the last with "Why Did Jesus Die?" This touches on the tip of the iceberg of the commonly asked question-- "Why does God allow suffering?"

While we don't promise to have all of the answers, we promise to accept all of the questions and walk on this journey with you. Alpha is a judgment free zone that welcomes everyone to come and see what this is about.

Don't miss our 3rd Alpha session this coming Tuesday on Feb. 3rd at 6pm!! We'll be meeting in the Faith Community Center and beginning with a meal. After great turnouts for the first two Alpha sessions, we hope you'll join us if you've been a little curious!

If you have attended any of the other sessions, invite someone to come along with you!

Haven't we all been stuck at home enough with the weather? Get out of the house with us!🤓

Join us for our second Alpha episode tomorrow night at 6pm in the Fellowship Hall in the Faith Community Center! We had a great turnout at our first meeting and expect even more this week. We'll be providing a couple of different soups for your choosing. Let us know if we should save a bowl for you!

This week's topic: Who is Jesus?

He is one of the most well-known historical figures in the world. This episode discusses “Who is Jesus?” and any evidence for his existence. Was Jesus fully human or divine? Was he more than a man, a great human and a religious teacher?

We had a great turnout for our first Alpha session tonight!! We were originally setup and ready in the Activity Room but people kept coming in so we had to move to the Fellowship Hall. We hope those attending enjoyed the evening and come back with friends on January 20th!

We are inviting you to a deeper connection to Jesus Christ in 2026. Come and see what this is all about next Tuesday on January 6th at 6pm. If you don't enjoy it and decide not to come back.... that's okay and we still hope you have a wonderful year ahead!

Jeff and Amanda Butler found themselves in a battle for their marriage and their future as a family. While facing drug addiction, behind on mortgage and car payments, and unsure of where to turn next, Amanda turned to her faith and found something completely unexpected through the Alpha course.

If you would like to take a step towards leaning into your faith, or if you are looking for community, you are invited to our first Alpha session on January 6th. RSVP is not required but would help us prepare the room and meal.

We do not want childcare to be something that keeps one from attending! If this is something you need assistance with so you can attend, please let us know!
