New Series

Despising Shame
Series beginning May 4

Shame is the swampland of the soul. We get sucked in with messages like... "You're weak." "You'll never get it right." "Why even try."

There is a way out of the mire. The authors of Scripture offer profound understanding of shame's source and solution.  

Outreach Opportunity

A facilitator will provide orientation before we begin. No previous training or experience is required--just a friendly and encouraging attitude.

Iron Men: gods at War; Winning the Battle for Our Heart

Saturday's at 7am

Everyone of us has false gods at war within each of us, and they battle for the place of glory and control in our lives and hearts. What keeps us from truly following Jesus is that our hearts are pursuing something or someone else. While these pursuits may not be idols of old, they are modern day idols. Behind the sin we're struggling with, the discouragement we're dealing with, the lack of purpose we're living with is a false god that is winning the war for your heart. Come and join us for this series as we study these modern day idols.
