Investing Faithfully with Grateful Hearts
With a posture of praise and thankfulness, we respond to all God has done. We’re overwhelmed by His goodness and faithfulness as He continues to use you to bring people to Jesus.
From weekly ministries to special initiatives, your generosity changes lives both here and around the world.
Gratitude: Fit for a King
Get all the details on our December series, “Gratitude: Fit for a King,” the Christmas Offering, and Christmas Eve.
We are excited to celebrate the season with you as we reflect on Christ’s birth and the hope we have in Him—and respond in gratitude!
Christmas Eve Services
Christmas Eve is one of the most special times of celebration for us each year. It’s a time to gather with friends and family to recognize the hope that is found in Christ’s arrival to earth.
These family-friendly gatherings are beautiful reminders of who Jesus is and what He has done for us. You’ll experience incredible music, a challenging message, a candlelight moment where we all sing Silent Night, and an opportunity to bless others in our community. We’d love to have you join us!
(Child care for age 2 and under is available at 2 PM and 4 PM. The special needs classroom is available at 2 PM.)
