Open Hands: trusting Jesus with everything

Jesus talked a lot about money, not because he needed it, but because he knew our hearts are often tied to it. In this series we’ll discover what it means to faithfully manage everything God has entrusted to us, find freedom from the pressure of always needing more, and learn the joy of living with open hands.

Study Season – Sermon on the Mount

Do you enjoy digging deeper into the Bible to understand and apply it? We’re hosting a Study Season each Sunday night. We’ll have in-depth teaching and discussion on Jesus’ famous Sermon on the Mount.

Magnify Jesus

Our focus for 2026 is simple: to magnify Jesus. Magnifying Jesus will make him clearer, closer, and more visible in your life. You will see him for who he really is.

When Jesus is magnified, your faith deepens and your invitation widens.

Programs for kids and teenagers

We have fun, safe and encouraging programs for the young people in your life.
