The Missing Peace

SUNDAYS, DEC 14 - 24, 2025

In a chaotic, anxious world, we crave peace—but often settle for calm that doesn’t last. This Christmas, we’ll uncover the missing peace in our lives through “The Master Peace”—not just peace from God, but peace that is God. Jesus entered a turbulent world to become our lasting peace, offering rest, hope, and healing even in the midst of life’s storms. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or restless, come experience the peace you’ve been missing—one that can’t be taken away.

Crazy Gratitude

SUNDAYS, NOV 9 – 30, 2025

In a world marked by fear, division, and uncertainty, gratitude often feels unrealistic or even naïve. Yet Scripture reveals that true gratitude is anything but shallow. It’s a radical, faith-filled response to God’s goodness that stands firm in every circumstance. In this series, we’ll confront our honest struggles with giving thanks in a broken world, learn how gratitude transforms our perspective, and discover that a grateful heart can shine light even in the darkest places.

Be A Blessing

What's In A Name?

SUNDAYS, AUG 10 – 24, 2025

Throughout Scripture, God reveals Himself through names that reflect His heart, His power, and His care for us—names like Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Shalom, and El Shaddai. Each one shows how He meets us right where we are. In this series, we’ll explore how the names of God meet us in our deepest needs and invite us into relationship with Him.

Under The Influence

SUNDAYS, JUNE 29 – JULY 20, 2025

Restored: Moving Beyond Trauma

SUNDAYS, JUNE 1 – 22, 2025

When love has been distorted or painful, it can be hard to believe in the real thing. "Restored: Moving Beyond Trauma" is a journey into the healing, unconditional love of Jesus—a love that fills the void, breaks unhealthy cycles, and empowers us to love freely, even when it feels impossible.

Forgiven

SUNDAYS, MAR 23 – APR 20, 2025

This series continues where "Flawed Follower" left off, revealing how God not only uses but blesses those with deeply stained pasts. Even the most revered figures in the Bible—Abraham, David, Peter, Paul, and others—had failures that many of us would struggle to look past today. Yet, God's purpose for them was never hindered by their flaws. It wasn’t just their faith or righteousness that allowed God to work through them—it was His forgiveness. Their stories remind us that no mistake is too great for God’s grace, and He can redeem and use anyone for His glory.

Love On Purpose

SUNDAYS, FEB 9 – MAR 9, 2025

Strong, enduring relationships don’t happen by chance—they are built on intentional love, trust, and faith. This series explores biblical principles for cultivating relationships that stand the test of time, whether in marriage, family, friendships, or the community of believers. Anchored in Ecclesiastes 4:12, "A cord of three strands is not quickly broken," we’ll discover how to invite God into our relationships to create bonds that are rooted in His eternal love and wisdom.

Resolution vs Solution

SUNDAYS, JAN 12 – FEB 2, 2025

This series unpacks the difference between setting resolutions and implementing solutions. While resolutions are intentional goals and big-picture dreams, true transformation happens through the daily habits and actions that align with God’s purpose. Join us as we explore how to move beyond planning to practical steps of faith, trusting God to guide our journey.
