To help us recognize that our words are a daily expression of Christian discipleship, carrying the power to shape ourselves and those around us. Every conversation leaves something behind.
The question is: What are our words leaving behind?

Guest Pastor David Valera

we will listen again to six familiar parables with fresh ears. As Jesus tells stories of forgiveness, faith, welcome, obedience, grace, and fruitfulness, we will discover why these have become our values as a congregation—and why they matter far beyond the walls of the church.

This series explores what it means to become a congregation where love and grace create refuge, where people find belonging, where faith takes root, and where Christ sends us outward with courage and hope.

We live in a time when people are more connected than ever and yet often feel increasingly divided from one another. Political tension, loneliness, fear, exhaustion, generational differences, and the pace of everyday life can leave us living side-by-side while still feeling worlds apart. We'll explore what it means to build lives and communities shaped by compassion, listening, hospitality, and grace.

Easter is not the conclusion of the story- it is the beginning of resurrection life unfolding among us.

A Lenten Easter & Journey: “Choosing the way of love—one crossroads at a time.” Life is full of crossroads — Lent invites us to slow down and notice the roads we are on. Rather than rushing toward answers, this season encourages honest reflection: What is guiding my life? What truly matters? What leads me toward life, love, and wholeness — and what pulls me away? At its heart, Lent is not about self-improvement, but re-orientation.

questions many people are already asking, whether or not they consider themselves religious: Who am I beneath all the roles and expectations? Where do I truly belong? What happens when grace meets my imperfections? Is real change still possible? And what kind of life is worth giving away? Each message explores one of these questions through Scripture and story, grounding everyday human longing in the grace and presence of God revealed in Jesus.

Advent is a season of waiting—but not the empty kind. It is a holy restlessness, a longing for peace, joy, and renewal that only God can bring. This series invites us into the heart of God’s promises, where longing finds fulfillment in Christ. Here we awaken to hope that steadies despair, to new life where barrenness once reigned, to joy rising from brokenness, and to comfort in our grief. We awaken to presence that makes the ordinary holy, to wonder that takes our breath away, to glory filling the world, to revelation shining for all people, and to the identity spoken over us all: beloved.

Gratitude is more than a feeling—it’s a way of seeing the world. Everyday Hallelujah invites us to slow down and notice the presence of grace woven into ordinary moments: a shared meal, a kind word, the sound of laughter, or the quiet rhythm of breath. In a season when life often moves too fast, this two-week series helps us rediscover the sacred in the simple. Like the one healed leper who turned back to say “thank you,” we learn that gratitude isn’t just a response to blessing—it’s the path to deeper wholeness and joy.

Most people hear the phrase “a rising tide lifts all boats” and think of economics or prosperity—that when wealth or resources increase, everyone benefits. While that image carries a sense of hope, The Rising Tide invites us to see something deeper. The tide we speak of is not about money or luck, but about the steady movement of the Spirit that lifts lives, renews hope, and shapes a future filled with promise.
