Join us! We've got a seat for you. And a donut, and a cup of coffee, and a warm welcome...
Worship begins at 10:00. Come as you are. ALL are welcome. The Gospel is for everyone!

In Matthew 28, Jesus invites His disciples—even in the midst of their doubt—into the beautifully interdependent, self-giving love of the Trinity. Rather than carrying the weight of the world alone, we are held by Christ's promise to always be with us as we transform from students into teachers. Empowered by the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we are commissioned to step outward and share this divine mutuality with all nations. Today, we’ll explore what it means to live out a "Spirit in Partnership" and find true freedom, joy, and peace in the resurrection life of the church.

This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday. The birthday of the Church. Wear something red and come celebrate with us.
Worship begins at 10:00.
Come early for coffee and conversation!

When the Holy Spirit descended at Pentecost, it arrived not just with visible flames but with a unifying clarity that shattered the murkiness of human uncertainty and confusion. This unbound gift of truth gave early believers the sudden, undeniable confidence to lean forward, speak boldly, and draw a doubting crowd into the faith. How does this same empowering Spirit call us to step out of our own cloudiness and participate in God's work right where we are? Join us this Sunday for "Spirit Unbounded" as we explore Acts 2:1-21 and discover what extraordinary things happen when the Spirit gives us the clarity to truly understand one another.

Are you looking for a place to worship? You're invited and welcome here. A place where faith feels like family. Join us. Worship begins at 10. Come early for conversation and coffee!

As we continue our Stories That Matter worship series, we turn the page to John 17:1-11. A passage that asks:

What does it actually mean to glorify God in a culture obsessed with power, status, and winning? In John 17, Jesus flips our understanding of glory upside down, revealing that divine greatness is found not in upward ascent, but in the radical descent of self-giving love. He prays for a profound oneness among His people—a unity born of mutual sacrifice that is meant to shock a fractured, divided world. Join us this week as we explore how giving up a piece of ourselves might be the very thing that makes us truly one with God and each other.

If you love me, says Jesus.

05/08/2026

Join us! Come as you are. All are welcome. Worship starts at 10:00.

Jesus opens this week's passage with a provocative "if"—reminding us that our love is tied to our obedience, which naturally begs the question of what happens when we inevitably fall short. Yet, in a world loud with division and the quiet weariness of aging, Jesus offers us the radical, resurrecting hope of an Advocate who abides with us forever. We follow a Savior we cannot physically touch, but we are anchored in the Easter promise that because He lives, we truly live—not just exist. Join us this Sunday to discover what it means to be held by the Triune God, and how returning to His commandments might be the very key to opening our eyes to His unending presence.
John 14:15-21

Ever feel like your life's GPS is constantly stuck on "Recalculating"? Then join us for worship this Sunday. It begins at 10:00.

In a world where we rely on our GPS for every journey, it's hard to imagine setting off without knowing exactly where we are going. Yet in John 14, Jesus tells his disciples they already "know the way," revealing that the path to eternal life isn't a set of earthly coordinates, but a living person. Rather than pointing to a distant destination, Jesus models a revolutionary way of life defined by healing the broken, welcoming the outcast, crossing boundaries, and feeding the hungry. If the way to the Father has been right in front of us all along, what might change in our lives if we finally set down our own maps and just started walking? Do you know the way?
John 14:1-14

All are invited. All are welcome. Come as you are.

04/24/2026

We look forward to worshipping with you. Service begins at 10:00. We hope to see you there.
Come early for coffee and conversation.

In a world saturated with noise, how do we distinguish the Shepherd's call from the chaos? As we continue our series, Stories That Matter, we explore John 10:1–10 to uncover the profound intimacy between the Leader and the led. Jesus reminds us that while many voices vie for our attention, the sheep instinctively flee from a stranger because they do not recognize his tone. Join us this week as we learn to tune out the static and find peace in the one Voice that truly knows our names.

We're telling more stories this Sunday, Stories that Matter!
Join us to hear what the Gospel of Luke has to stay.

Worship begins at 10:00. Invite friend!

Have you ever witnessed something bizarre and felt relieved that you were at a safe distance? It is our human instinct to back away from the unexpected, much like two grieving travelers who tried to walk away from the chaos of Jerusalem on a dusty road to Emmaus. This Sunday, we are exploring what happens when we resist the urge to keep our distance and instead make the bold choice to step closer. In this Story that Matters we will discover the astounding, life-changing reality that is waiting just on the other side of an invitation.
Luke 24:13-35

We look forward to worshipping with you. Worship begins at 10:00. Bring a friend!

Behind locked doors of fear and uncertainty, the disciples encountered a resurrected Christ who offered peace wrapped in the physical scars of immense love. John calls him Thomas the twin. But so often Thomas is dismissed as the doubter, and yet he’s the one who courageously voiced the quiet ache of our own hearts: the deep, human longing to ask hard questions and seek tangible proof. Jesus met this honest doubt not with rebuke, but with an invitation to touch and see. If we carry that same desperate need for truth and visible hope within us, might we actually be the unnamed twin in this story, simply waiting for the courage to say, "Unless I see"?

John 20:19-31
