Renew - January Sermon Series
As we begin a new year, many of us long for a fresh start—but true renewal comes not from trying harder, but from opening our hearts to God’s grace.
This January, we invite you to join us for a worship series titled Renew, rooted in Scripture and prayer. Together, we will reflect on God’s promise to restore weary hearts, renew our spirits, and shape our lives in love.

The Light, The Dark, and the Battle Between
A New Zoom Bible Discussion Series Beginning December 3rd!
Light and dark are powerful images in both the Old and New Testaments, including in the teaching of Jesus Christ – contrasting God’s way and what is good, with what is against God and what is sinful or evil. Jesus describes his followers as “the light of the world,” and calls them to be “in the world but not of the world”; and “to seek first the kingdom of God,” and to pray that “God’s kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.” Let us study together what the Bible reveals about the light, the dark, and the battle between, to increase our personal Christlikeness and to advance God’s kingdom on earth!
