New Series

New Series - Begins December 8th
Hospitality is often reduced to serving coffee and donuts. We think of it as something that's tame and nice if you have the time. But the Bible puts hospitality at the core to our faith. Join us during the Advent season as we wrestle with some provocative questions. How is hospitality linked to human dignity? What happens to a community that fails to show hospitality? Who needs welcome today? And what marks hospitality that is distinctively Christian?

Renovation - Dust Flies in January!
Renovation begins in January. It will take place in 3 Phases throughout 2014. Phase 1 involves the 200-level classrooms (beyond Welcome Center) and Fireside Room. All Wonderland classrooms will be relocated under the sanctuary during for about 3 months beginning in January. Listen for more details from the leaders of JAM/1:20 and Journey for how they will be affected as well. We hope to open Phase 1 of renovation as early as Easter. This will include a new nursery, theater room, and preschool classrooms. Please pray that the renovation proceeds with speed, accuracy, and safety. And pray that our mission of helping people walk with God, connect as family, and love people in Jesus name advances during this work.
