Compass for Community
January 19, 2025 - March 8, 2025
Every journey needs a compass to provide direction, clarity, and purpose. As followers of Christ, our mission is our true North, grounding us in the call to “be a welcoming community where all can grow and serve Christ.” Our vision inspires us to chart a bold course: “We are a safe harbor where love and grace anchor a welcoming community, empowering all to set sail with Christ toward deeper relationships, meaningful growth, and impactful service.”
This series will explore the core values that guide our journey—Love, Faith, Community, Integrity, Grace, and Growth. Much like the points on a compass, these values keep us aligned, helping us navigate life’s challenges, embrace opportunities, and remain connected to one another and to God.
Waiting for Light
Dec 1, 2024 - Dec 29, 2024
Advent is a season of anticipation, reflection, and hope, where we wait in the darkness for the light of Christ to break through. This year’s series, "Waiting for Light," invites us on a journey from the shadows of uncertainty, fear, and brokenness toward the bright hope of new life in Christ. Each Sunday, we will explore how the light of Christ not only breaks into the world at Christmas but into our individual lives, bringing transformation, healing, and growth.
The series builds upon the Advent themes of Hope, Love, Joy, and Peace, guiding us each week to reflect on how the light of Christ illuminates the path forward and prepares us for a “new tomorrow.”
Living into New Life
Nov. 3, 2024 - Nov. 24, 2024
This series explores how we can experience transformation and renewal through faith, trust, and spiritual surrender. As we move through this month, we will reflect on the ways God invites us to release old attachments, step into new beginnings, and trust that true life is found when we let go and rely on God's grace.

Ascribe to God
May 26, 2024-June 30, 2024
The week after week of Ordinary Time may be the season where our faith gets put to the test. We don’t walk alone, however, so we begin this long season focusing on the God we proclaim. We ascribe to God all the glory, all the wonder, all the joy that is within us by using the Psalms and Isaiah’s knee-knocking encounter in the presence of the God we worship.
Good Enough
Feb 14, 2024 - March 30, 2024
We live in a culture bent on definitions of a good life as continuous upward mobility–climbing ladders of prosperity with increasingly fabulous experiences that we can post to ever-more-likable social media accounts. What if we stopped climbing and started fertilizing, watering, and blooming right where we find ourselves? Welcome to a Lent of affirming a faith in which we are blessed, regardless, and where we can lean into embracing our “good enough” lives.
