Generosity has the power to touch lives...partner with God...grow our faith...increase our joy...decrease our fear...and take hold of what is truly life. Interest rates are rising.

In a time of political polarization and divisive issues, BE part of this movement to make our communities and the world more like the Kingdom of God!
In 700 BC, in a time with many similarities to today, the prophet Micah asked and answered the question: What does God require of us? The answer was simple: Do justice, love kindness and walk humbly with God. (Micah 6:8)
We believe we can love our neighbors and recover and reclaim these three essential practices.
Sundays: August 28 - September 18, 2022
From the day we are born we are told who we should be. We compare ourselves to others, conform to fit in, and project only the best parts of who we are. All of this keeps us from our true identity. When we learn to love ourselves as God loves us we begin to see that God created us to be unique. We invite you to join us for a series dedicated to discovering how to Be Yourself. (Based on a Sermon Series from Matt Miofsky - description from that series).
A series about who we are, where we go wrong, and how we get back to who wee are created to be.
Sundays: July 24 - August 21
Many of us know about the people of the Old Testament from what we knew as a child. Hearing their stories as grown-ups can help us find courage, hope, and purpose and find the same God that was faithful in their lives is also present and faithful in ours.

In a world in which we can be anything, the good life comes when we learn to live in the power of the Spirit and receive the gift of living like Jesus. It's the life that we yearn for. It's the life of our families, communities and world are hungry for.

"This is the marvel of marvels," said C.S. Lewis, "that he called me Beloved." We are beloved by God. His love is where we find our identity, our security, our authority. Then, and only then, can we become what Dr. King called the beloved community. We lead with love - we love because He first loved us.

As children, many of us received a leather-bound book full of long words and difficult names we couldn't pronounce. We were told everything in it was true and we should do our best to abide by its teachings. Then we grew up. What was oh-so-simple then is...well, it's not simple. Perhaps that's because we were taught Bible stories but not the story of the Bible.
