Following Jesus has never been a spectator sport. Most people at our church are in the Large Circle. Some have moved into the Medium. Very few are in the Small Circle — and that's exactly where Jesus spent most of his time. This series is an invitation to move. Join us this week as Pastor Geoff kicks off a new 4-part series called "Every Circle Matters."

Join us this week as Pastor Ross leads us through part 2 of our series Questions Jesus Asked: Why Are You So Afraid?
Jesus asked over three hundred questions. Three hundred. In the four Gospels alone. Jesus — the one person who actually had all the answers — spent most of His ministry asking questions. That's not an accident. Jesus never asked a question because He needed information. He already knew. He asked because something else was happening. Every question He asked was an invitation. An opening. A way of…

Join us this week as Pastor Mark presents part 3 of our Still sermon series: Still Loved.
Join us this week as Pastor Mark shares week 2 of our Still sermon series: Still Fighting.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. The national conversation is already happening. "Still" is our church’s way of stepping into that conversation and saying: we have something to offer. Not just awareness — but a God who shows up when your mind won’t settle down. Struggling with mental health doesn’t mean your faith is broken. It means you’re human. Join us this week as we kick off Still, a…

Join us this week as Pastor Kent presents week 2 of our "Now What?" sermon series: Why Hasn't Anything Changed?
Here’s what nobody tells you about Easter Sunday. We show up. We sing the songs. We feel something real — maybe for the first time in a while. Some of us raised our hands. Some of us cried. Some of us heard Jesus calling us back to shore, just like Peter, and we thought, maybe this time it sticks. And then Monday morning hits. The alarm goes off. The coffee’s cold. The kids are fighting. And…
Join us for our 2026 Easter celebration, and the conclusion of our "The Road to Resurrection" series: The Morning Everything Changed.
Join us this week as Pastor Mark shares part 2 of our "The Road to Resurrection" series: More Than a Miracle.
The resurrection changes everything. Two thousand years later, it's still changing everything. But we often skip the road that leads to the empty tomb. So for three weeks, we're slowing down. Walking those final two weeks with Jesus. They saw Lazarus walk out of a tomb. Celebrated a miracle. Jesus knew what it was pointing toward. Another tomb. Another impossible Sunday. To understand Easter, we…

Join us this week as Pastor Geoff presents the third message in our Next Gen sermon series: Stand With Them.
Join us this week as Pastor Mark presents week 2 of our Next Gen sermon series, titled: Speak Life.
We talk a lot about the next generation—what they're doing wrong, what they're missing, what they need to change. But what if we've been asking the wrong question? What if it's not "What's wrong with them?" but "What are they waiting for from us?" They're not waiting for us to be perfect or have all the answers. They're waiting for something simpler and maybe more difficult. They're waiting to be…

Join us this week as pastor Mark presents part 3 of our RESTORE sermon series: Breaking Free From What's Breaking You.
Join us this week as Pastor Mark presents week 2 of our RESTORE series.
Here's the thing about fresh starts. We think they're about trying harder. Doing more. Being better. At least until we burn out. But God's restoration? It starts in a completely different place. It begins with the radical truth that your life already matters to Him. That you don't need to earn your worth or prove your value. He's ready to restore you, not because of what you can become, but…
Join us this week as Pastor Geoff shares a message about how the gift of Jesus is better than we ever could have imagined!

Join us this week as Pastor Mark presents the third message in our Wishlist series: Signature Required.
Join us this week and Pastor Eric presents message 2 of our Wishlist series: Return to Sender.
Here's the thing about wishlists. They're full of what we want. What we think will make us happy. At least for a while. But God's gift that first Christmas? It wasn't on anyone's wishlist. Nobody asked for a baby in a barn. Nobody wanted a Messiah wrapped in rags. Yet two thousand years later, we're still unwrapping this gift. Still discovering that what we needed has become what we want most.…
You’re not just the one Jesus found—you’re the one He’s now sending. And you’re not sent alone. He breathes His Spirit into you…to reach your One. Join us today for the conclusion of One Matters: One Sent.
One “yes” can spark a revival. Whether you’re a priest or a perfume-maker, God has a section of the wall for you. When the people of God say yes—walls rise and hearts change. Join us today for part 5 of One Matters: One Yes.
Jesus called Matthew while he was still in the tax booth. He didn’t wait for him to “clean up.” God’s calling you—and the calling on your One’s life may begin with your invitation. Join us this week for part 4 of One Matters: One Called.
The widow gives two copper coins—but Jesus says she gave “more than all the others.” Why? They gave from surplus; she gave from surrender. Her offering reveals this truth: God values costly obedience over comfortable contribution. Join us this week for part 3 of One Matters: One Worth Everything.
God doesn’t stop searching until the lost are found. And when even one is found, Heaven erupts. If God celebrates one, shouldn’t we? Join us this week for part 2 of One Matters: One Found.
Have you ever felt like just another face in the crowd? Like your life gets lost in the shuffle? Like you’re unseen, unheard… maybe even unimportant? In a culture that moves fast, measures worth in likes and followers, and forgets people who don’t make noise— it’s easy to wonder: “Do I even matter?” But here’s what Jesus says with absolute clarity: Yes. You do. You are not forgotten. Not…

Join us today as Pastor Mark leads us through Part 2 of Shadows: The Shadow of Shame.
All of us fight battles every day that no one else can see. We wrestle with shame, lies, fear, and habits we’ve hidden for years. These shadows don’t fade on their own—they only flee when we bring them into the light of Christ. In this series, we’ll name our shadows, face them with truth, and live as people of the light. Join us today for part 1 of Shadows.
Join us this week as guest speaker John Opalewski shares a message about building resilience from the inside out.
