We wanted to create a space where we could update you on news from around the church, information on upcoming events, follow up to a recent sermon.

Often you will find thoughts on a Sunday message or event stories from our life together as a church.

Metro Young Adults: A Night of Hopeful Lament

Night of Hopeful Lament

A Long Dark Night There have been times in my life where I just couldn't see anyway forward. The circumstances confronting me were so overwhelming, so painful, so dark, that I didn't know where to take my next step. As a matter of fact, I'm not sure I would be able to even get to my feet.

How Can I/We Make A Difference: Funtober Fest

Funtoberfest 2018

How can I make a difference? I love this question. It's a question that is loaded with ownership. The kind of person who asks this question often looks at a need and then gladly assumes responsibility to address it. As much as I love that question, I think it always needs to be asked underneath a much larger question. How can we make a difference? How beautiful it is when...
