On Sunday, we’re diving into Part 2 of our mini-series on money!

This week, we’re looking at how fear and anxiety around money can affect our faith and daily lives. Jesus reminds us in Matthew 6 that God knows what we need, values us deeply, and invites us to trust Him rather than be consumed by worry.

Got questions about money?
Before and after the service, you’ll have the opportunity to submit your questions — completely anonymously via QR code and google form! We’ll tackle your questions together in a Q&A the following Sunday.

Come early, grab your seat, and get settled before the service starts at 9am.

Bringing the kiddos? Children’s Church registration opens at 8:45am. We also have a baby room and toddler room available, where you can comfortably watch and listen to the sermon while caring for your little one.

We can’t wait to see you this Sunday!

Part 1 of our mini Series; Who owns your money — and ultimately, who owns your heart?

Bruce challenged us to live within our means, trust God for the rest, and remember that God doesn’t need our money — He wants our hearts.

Money has a way of revealing who we’re really trusting.

Who owns it anyway?

See you this Sunday for part 2!

This Sunday Ben is challenging us with: What if the person you’ve worked so hard to become isn’t actually who God created you to be?

We are going to explore the false self—the identity we can develop in response to childhood wounds, rejection, unmet needs and the desire to feel loved, accepted and safe.

We look at how the false self can show up through people-pleasing, perfectionism, over-functioning, hyper-independence, fear of intimacy and the constant pressure to perform.

But Jesus invites us into something different.

Instead of living from “I am what I do,” “I am what I have,” or “I am what others think of me,” we are invited to discover the truth of our identity: I am the beloved.

Drawing from Mark 8:34–37 and Matthew 11:28–30, this message explores what it means to “lose your life to save it” by letting go of the exhausting false self and learning to rest in God, receive His love, and live from our true identity in Him.

Come early, grab your seat, and get settled before the service starts at 9am.

Bringing the kiddos? Children’s Church registration opens at 8:45am. We also have a baby room and toddler room available, where you can comfortably watch and listen to the sermon while caring for your little one.

We can’t wait to see you there!

This past Sunday Keith from Connected COTN challenged us with: What does it really mean to follow Jesus today?
It’s not just about words or Sunday worship — it’s about daily surrender, taking up our cross, and living with Jesus at the center of everything. In a world that often chooses the easy path, Jesus calls us to a costly, authentic discipleship that shapes who we are every day.

Let’s be a community that lives what we say, inspiring the next generation to find real faith, real responsibility, and real worship.

Are you ready to say, ‘Jesus, I die to myself, I take up my cross, and I follow You’?
