A Transformed Life
New year, new resolutions, right? We try to change our habits or situations, but let’s be honest—once the motivation fades, so does our effort, leaving us feeling stuck like nothing really changed. Sound familiar? Sometimes, we treat our faith the same way. But living as a Christian isn’t just about checking off your New Year’s resolutions. It’s about something much deeper. Together, we’ll study Romans 12 and explore how to break free from surface-level behavior modification and step into a transformed life that’s all about Jesus and His love.

The True Meaning of Christmas
Monday Dec 16, 2024
Monday Dec 16, 2024
With all the chaos and stress that follows the holiday season, the real message of Christmas is often lost. Sometimes, we need a break from the noise, a time to refocus on the real world-changing events that took place on that first Christmas night all those years ago. Join us and experience Simply Christmas, an acoustic service that walks us through the reason for the season, shining the light of God's great love and letting the rest fade into the background. We'll read through the Bible, sing to celebrate the birth of our savior, and take communion. It's simply Christmas and nothing more. Thanks for joining us!

At times, life can feel crazy, especially around the holidays. But when we take a moment to slow down, we can find peace in the midst of that chaos.
