A wise man once said "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." When you think about God what comes to mind? Do you see a God who is distant, perhaps even annoyed at you? Or do you see a God who pursues you relentlessly? Join us this Sunday as we consider the good news of a God who goes after those who aren't even looking for him. We are very excited to have Pastor Rob Tombrella from Resurrection Church in Ana, Texas with us bringing the Word.Speaker: Pastor Rob Tombrella

We are people made for love. Our hearts long for it. And yet, we can often be selfish and fail to love others as we ought. How do we become people of love who lay down our lives for others? Join us this Sunday as we explore how real love is only possible when we understand the transforming depths of the heart of Jesus for us. Speaker: Pastoral Resident Joe Catoe

In this world of brokenness we live in, does the message of Easter really make a difference? How does the resurrection life of Jesus have the ability to break into our lives in ways that transform us long after the holiday has passed? Join us this Sunday as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and see how it transforms us as we walk through hard things into people of greater hope, faith, and love.Speaker: Pastor Matt Slingerland

Why do you wake up and get out of bed in the morning? What is your life about? What is it going to count for? These are massive questions, yet few people take the time to consider them seriously. Without knowing why you exist, how can you know where you are going or what you should do? Join us this Sunday as we continue our series in Philippians and see how we were made on purpose for a purpose.Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher

What if people tried to tear you down… and you still rejoiced? In Philippians 1:12–18, Paul is in prison while others preach with the goal of hurting him—and yet he says, “I rejoice.” How is that possible? Join us this Sunday as we see a path towards resilent joy.Speaker: Pastor Caleb McCurley

Life is not always happy. But what if there were a way to find joy even when life is hard? Join us this Sunday as we see Paul in a prison cell, yet full of joy nonetheless. Through his example, God gives us a surprising path to joy.Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher

This Sunday we’re kicking off a brand-new series in the book of Philippians. Often called Paul’s most joyful letter, Philippians mentions joy more than sixteen times. And honestly… couldn’t we—and our world—use a little more joy? Paul also talks a lot about unity. Couldn’t we use more of that, too? But more than anything, this letter points us to what it means to be in Christ. True joy. Real unity. Full life. All rooted in Him. Join us This Sunday as we dive in!Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher

This Sunday we will have pastor and author Mez McConnell bringing the word. Pastor Mez grew up in one of the poorest and most dangerous parts of Scotland. His story is one of tragedy, agony, anger, and grace. Through our time of worship we will be reflecting on Christ’s heart for the least, the last, and the lost. His heart for all of us. Hope you can join us at 9am or 11am! Speaker: Pastor Mez McConnell

What do we do when our resolve runs out? When life feels overwhelming and we’re just trying to make it through, what do we do then? Join us this Sunday as we close out our "A Biblical Guide to New Year's Resolutions" series and consider together what it means to be Resolved to Persevere in Jesus.Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher

What is your life building? What is it that is truly going to last? Join us This Sunday as we look at what Jesus is building and how He invites us in His great and eternal purpose. Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher

Every day is filled with new concerning headlines, and our own daily challenges. This world is clearly broken. But what is God up to and what does that have to do with us? Join us this Sunday as we continue in our series on A Biblical Guide to New Year Resolution's and consider what the Bibles about being Resolved to be on Mission with Jesus.Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher

Waiting is hard. Whether it’s something small like waiting for our food to arrive, or something significant like waiting for our health to improve—no one likes to wait. But what if God was at work in our waiting? What if delays are never wasted? The Bible talks a lot about waiting, and says that it is actually a place in which we can find strength. How can that be? Join us this Sunday as we continue in our series A Biblical Guide to New Year's Resolutions.Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher

A new year is a great time to pause and ask meaningful questions about life, purpose, and growth. As we step into 2026, we’re starting a new series called A Biblical Guide to New Year’s Resolutions, exploring what it looks like to grow intentionally as followers of Jesus. We’ll begin by looking at Mark 3:13–15 and what it means to be Resolved to Be with Jesus. If you’re looking for a fresh start or a deeper faith, we’d love for you to join us this Sunday.Speaker: Pastor Jeff Boettcher
