Once upon a time… what comes next? A great story!

The Bible isn’t just a fairytale – it’s filled with real people, fascinating stories, and timeless lessons. This summer, we’re diving into the lives of characters you might remember from Sunday School, like Esther, Jonah, David, and Priscilla, as well as others. They were ordinary people, just like us, facing struggles, doubts, and triumphs. But their stories still speak to us today, offering wisdom that can help us grow closer to Jesus and navigate our everyday lives.

Small Groups

Join a group today and grow in your faith and community tomorrow.

God has designed each of us to connect with other followers of Jesus. We can help lift one another up when things get tough, celebrate with each other during good times, and grow in our faith together. Small groups are one of the best ways to do this! You don’t need to be an expert in the Bible to be part of a small group - whether you are new to faith or a long-time Jesus-follower, small groups are for you! These groups regularly meet in places like coffee shops, living rooms, and kitchens.

Volunteer & Make a Difference

One of the best ways to get connected is by serving!

We value not just growing in our faith but doing something with our faith! Serving within the walls of this church and (even more importantly) going out into the community and the world is a vital part of what God created us to do. When we serve and volunteer we are being Christ followers by doing what He did. It is how we show the world what the love of God is like. We serve inside and outside of the church, Sundays and all week long.
