Over the 8 weeks, you’ll form a foundational understanding of intentional spiritual formation. We’ll explore how to follow Jesus in our busy, distracted, and increasingly secular culture.

Alpha
Join us on Monday evenings at 6pm, starting January 27th. Dinner (+ childcare) will be provided.
Alpha is like a dinner party...followed by group conversation where we explore the big questions of life, spirituality, and faith from a Christian lens...all in a laid back and non-judgmental environment. Each session features a 25-minute film designed to inspire questions and is led by a host who facilitates the conversation around the session's big question. No question is off-limits. You're free to share and ask as much or as little as you like. If you’re curious, skeptical, or just have questions, bring them to Alpha and explore them with new friends!

Whether you're well versed in Scripture or just starting on the journey, this course offers an overview of the world’s best-selling book.

The Emotionally Healthy Relationships Course

You’ll learn how to slow down your life and develop depth in your relationship with Jesus and others.

Church at Home
Don't come to the church on Sunday, December 29th. (Nobody will be here.) But be the church at home.
As the year comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to press pause.
This is a chance to:
Give our hardworking staff and volunteers time to rest and recharge.
Slow down as a church family and be fully present with those you love.
Reflect on the past year and how God has been at work in your life.
On December 29th, we invite you to worship at home with your friends and family. That morning, you’ll receive:
A special sermon delivered straight to your inbox.
A copy of our Annual Examen, a guide to help you prayerfully review your year with God.
Let’s use this Sunday as a time to rest, reflect, and prepare our hearts for the year ahead.
