What’s Happening
Why are there pitchers of colored water on the stage? Find out this weekend as we continue our new message series entitled "Overflow." Jesus said in Luke 6:45, “From the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.” A good question to ask someone is, “What could you stay up all night to talk with me about?” How they answer the question reveals what someone is passionate about. During this message series, find out the heart behind some of our favorite staff!
Join us for worship in person or online! Worship services are Saturday at 5pm and Sunday at 9am and 11am or watch on demand anytime. We also have in person and online services for Kids & Youth.
