Holy ATtention (Current Series)
How many moments with God have we rushed right past?
A burning bush. A quiet voice. One overlooked person in a crowd. Birds flying overhead.
Throughout the Bible, ordinary moments become holy because people stop long enough to notice God's presence. Holy Attention is a four-week journey into learning how to see what God is already doing all around us. As we slow down, listen more carefully, and resist the noise competing for our attention, we may discover that God has been closer than we ever realized. The invitation isn't to find God somewhere new. It's to become aware of the One who has been with us all along.
Remember (Sermon Series)
What story is shaping the way you live today?
Throughout Scripture, God continually calls His people to remember. Not because He forgets, but because we do. We forget His promises when life feels uncertain. We forget His faithfulness when fear grows louder than hope. We forget His presence when suffering lingers. Yet again and again, God invites us to remember because what we remember ultimately shapes who we become.
Remember is a fourteen-week journey through the defining moments of God's story, from Abraham's first step of faith to the promise that God is making all things new. Along the way, we rediscover God's deliverance, provision, covenant love, mercy, presence, and restoration. We learn that remembering is far more than looking backward. It is a spiritual practice that anchors us in God's unchanging character, renews our trust in the present, and gives us courage to step faithfully into the future.
The invitation isn't simply to recall what God has done. It's to allow His faithfulness to reshape your imagination so completely that His story becomes the story you live by every day.
Embodied (Sermon Series)
What if following Jesus isn't just about believing the right things, but becoming the kind of person who makes His love visible?
Throughout the Gospels, Jesus reveals a different way of living. He speaks with grace and truth. He listens deeply. He notices the overlooked. He serves with open hands. He walks the path of humility, even to the cross. And through His resurrection, He invites us not simply to admire His life, but to embody it.
Embodied is a seven-week journey into what it means for Christ to live through ordinary people by the power of His Spirit. As we learn to receive His love more deeply, we discover that spiritual formation is less about striving harder and more about abiding in Him. Over time, His voice reshapes our words, His mind renews our thinking, His compassion changes how we see others, and His presence transforms the way we serve and love.
The invitation isn't to become someone else. It's to become more fully alive in Christ, allowing His life to take shape in yours so that the world encounters Jesus through the way you speak, listen, see, serve, and love every day.

what people are saying…
“When we started our Life Group in 2019, I was longing for a strong connection to other women of faith. Over the years it's developed into my "spiritual home", a safe space where the noise of the world fades, replaced by honest conversation, shared laughter, and the quiet strength of collective prayer. Within this circle, I've found mentors who offer wisdom from seasons past and friends who stand in the trenches with me today. Life Group is a place where you are truly seen and known, grounded in a common love for Christ, that turns simple acquaintances into a lifelong sisterhood.”
— Danielle
“There are about 60 ‘one another’ exhortations in the New Testament. I have been a Christian over 50 years and I know of no more meaningful way to fulfill these commands than to meet regularly with a small group of Christian friends for conversation and prayer. I don't think we can overstate the value of Life Groups. If you are not yet participating, you are missing something extraordinary.”
— Michael Hostetler
“Cultivating the Community of God is one of the reasons you are on this earth. Doing ‘life’ together - is one of the primary ways we become more like Jesus. Being a part of a Life Group will be deeply fulfilling, and deeply transformative for your soul.”
