Current Series
As we draw to the end of 2025, we are going to spend a few weeks looking at the greatest privilege and greatest activity we can engage in as followers of Jesus: Prayer. Prayer is our natural instinct as human beings, to reach to our creator and seek Him, because we were made for relationship with Him. It’s also terribly difficult for us, and even those we may think of as super saints struggled mightily to focus in prayer. So, how do we grow in prayer, individually and together? The first step is to come to Jesus as the disciples first did, asking, “Lord, teach us to pray.”
When You Pray begins November 16

Let’s Build Together Jump In With Projects Around The Church
There’s nothing like rolling up our sleeves and seeing progress to unite us as a family. Our desire is not only to join hands in tackling projects, but to join our hearts and get to know one another even better. We will be tackling a number of renovation projects the next few months, from repainting and floor refinishing, to re-carpeting and drywalling. We are paving the way to minister more and more to members of our church family and members of our community! So, whether you’ve got special skills or are looking to learn something, we would love to have you join us. Mark is rallying a team now with spring on the horizon!
