Prayer is a powerful way to bring our presence to the presence of God. We would love for you to join us THIS Sunday at 9am in the cafeteria for our Pre-Service Prayer Circle as we spend time during the Advent season to have a better and deeper understanding of what it means to be present to God’s presence in the present.
We are also sending out scripture via text and invite you to take time and be resent with the Lord, resting and meditating on His word. Click here to sign up to receive scripture texted to you!

This Sunday, join us for Week 3 of PRESENCE as we gather for a special Worship & Communion service focused on The Antidote for Loneliness. In a season that can feel full yet isolating, we’ll slow down together and remember that we’re invited into deep belonging with God and with one another. Through worship and communion, we’ll practice being present to the God who is already here and near. Come as you are, take a breath, and be reminded that you are not alone.

Life is moving faster than ever. Somehow it’s December again. Another year gone in a blink. We raced through our to-dos, calendars, deadlines, and endless notifications…and still feel behind. In a world that never slows down, it’s easy to miss the moments that matter most. But Christmas tells a different story. A story where God steps into our world quietly… slowly… personally. A story that invites us to stop running and simply be.
This Christmas Eve, we want to help you breathe again. To rediscover wonder. To remember what your soul has been missing. To be fully present with God, with the people you love, with the moment right in front of you.
Join us December 24th at 3:30pm or 5pm for a beautiful, unhurried Christmas Eve experience that helps you slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the wonder of Jesus.
Bring your family, your friends, your questions, your doubts—or just bring yourself.
Let’s make space for what matters most.
