What do Christians really believe—and why does it matter today?
In this new sermon series, we’re exploring the Apostles’ Creed—the ancient words about the components of the Apostles' teaching—and asking some honest questions:
Do we really believe in creation? The virgin birth? The resurrection? The second coming? What do these ideas mean in a modern world that often feels like it has less room for faith and mystery?
Over the next several weeks, we’ll dig into these core beliefs—not to shut down questions, but to open them up. We’ll explore what these teachings meant for the early church, what they do (and don’t) mean, and how they still speak into our lives today.
Whether you’ve been in church your whole life or you’re just curious (or even skeptical), this series is for you.
Come discover a faith that makes room for both wonder and questions—and a hope that still speaks into our world today.

Our Lent Bible Study starts Tuesday!

The Sermon on the Mount: God’s Kingdom, Today’s Christians

What did Jesus really mean when he described life in God’s kingdom—and how does it shape the way we live now? Join us for a six-week Bible study exploring the Sermon on the Mount and its challenging, hope-filled vision for Christian life today.

Tuesdays | February 24 – March 31 | 1:00 PM

Ash Wednesday always feels like it comes out of nowhere.
One moment life is humming along—and the next we’re marked with ashes.
Ashes remind us of what we already know but rarely stop to name:
We are finite.
We are fragile.
We live in a world shaped by sin and loss.
And yet, ashes are not the final word.
As we begin The Last Week, we remember that Jesus walks straight into the ashes of our world.
He does not turn away from suffering or death.
He keeps moving forward—toward the cross and toward us.
The ashes will wash away.
But the cross traced through them will not.

Come begin Lent with us in this Ash Wednesday service, 2-18 at 5PM.

Blessings to you this Lent.
