Messages on Acts
And Witness
This Pentecost Sunday, we remember and celebrate the day the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus’ first followers, fulfilling His promise to send the Spirit as a helper and comforter. Reflect, learn, and worship with us as we grow in our understanding of the Holy Spirit and His role in our witness to the people around us.
In the Church
In Acts 2, we find a body of believers devoted to the apostles’ teaching, each other, the breaking of bread, and prayer. In a world of consumption, do those characteristics still define the Church today? The Church does not exist for itself – it exists to advance God’s Kingdom on Earth and to reveal His love to people who are not yet part of it.
With the Holy Spirit
We continue our Start Here series, focusing on the person and presence of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit isn’t an optional add-on to the Christian life—he’s essential. He’s not a distant force or mysterious vibe; he’s the personal, powerful presence of God at work in us and in the world.

Heresy & Truth
In the midst of difficult conversations about life and faith, where do we find our basis for truth? Pastor Brent continues our new series by exploring the concept of heresy and its impact on spiritual communities, offering practical insight to discern what is essential and what is not.
The Church
As we continue exploring the metanarrative of God and humankind as described in Scripture, we come across one of the most beautiful yet polarizing parts of the story yet: the Church. God longs to use the church to meet the needs of His people. How will we respond to this challenging call to seek reconciliation and redemption in Jesus’ Name everywhere we go?
The Tension of Being Called Apart

Impacting Our World Together
Pastor Brent continues to look at the role of the church and how if we live as Jesus did we can impact our world together.
What is Church?

Crossing Lines
Pastor Amy Becker looks at Acts 10 and how God’s desire was not only for a select group of people to hear about and know Jesus, but his desire was for all nations and people to know him.
