We are all busy. Some of us can't remember the last time we rested or even had free time. Our busyness can feel productive but it is a toxic distraction, sapping our spiritual, physical, and emotional vitality. It may seem like we have no choice but to live at a frantic pace, but God has a better path for us. 

Join pastor and author John Mark Comer in this five-part series as he addresses one of the greatest threats to our spiritual lives: hurry. Instead of allowing our calendars and screens to control our lives, Jesus offers us a new rhythm of life, overflowing with grace, peace, and beauty.

8pm, 2nd and 4th Wednesdays on Zoom

Most of us have been living inside a lie so long it feels like the truth. It has quietly shaped our identity, our relationships, and even how we see God. In this six-session series, author and speaker Jennie Allen pulls back the curtain on the enemy’s oldest trick—and shows us how to dismantle his lies with the spiritual authority we already have in Christ. Whether you’re struggling to feel worthy, wrestling with fear, or longing to break old patterns, this study will equip you to silence the lies with God’s Word and unleash lasting transformation in Christ.

Our Prayer Shawl Care Group is open to all skill levels, from beginners who've never touched yarn to seasoned crafters. We provide lessons to help you create shawls that will bless those in need—whether they are sick, grieving, or seeking prayer. Each shawl is prayed over as it's made, in partnership with our church's prayer team, with each stitch lifting up those in need of comfort.

As Psalm 139:13-14 reminds us, "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made." Prayer shawls are gifts of love and care, meant to wrap others in warmth and prayer.
