The Art of Neighboring
In this 6-week LifeGroup series, we encourage you to experience what church can be outside of the church.
Join Pastor Epi via prerecorded video and a small group of believers and dive deeper into the question, “What if Jesus meant that we should love our actual neighbors?”
To get connected, please reach out to your campus pastor.

Child Dedication
When raising kids, we understand the importance of guiding your children to a fruitful and healthy life. For in Psalms 8:2 says, “Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.”
This is why we invite any parent to bring their child/children to partake in a public statement of faith: that you wish to raise your child under God's grace and wisdom.
Each campus will be hosting this during service on Mother’s Day weekend. Select your campus below and fill out the online form.
Good Friday
Join us on Good Friday as we come together to reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Our Good Friday services are a time of solemn remembrance and deep gratitude for the ultimate love displayed on the cross.
During these services, you can expect powerful worship, heartfelt prayers, and a meaningful message that will draw us closer to the heart of God. We will take time to contemplate the significance of the crucifixion and its profound impact on our lives.
Whether you are a long-time member or a first-time visitor, our Good Friday Services provide a space to pause, pray, and ponder the profound love of our Savior. We invite you to join us as we journey through this important moment in history together.
