Upcoming Teaching Series

January series:
Simple Faith

We live in the “overwhelm” of modern life—endless choices leading to decision fatigue, social expectations leading to untenable pressure, and the myth that we can “have it all” leading to a nagging sense of emptiness. In this moment, God calls us to stand at the crossroads, look, ask, and walk in the way that brings true life. A simpler way. Simple Faith is a journey toward eliminating the distractions in order to discover the freedom of a focused life, as we seek the “one thing” that truly matters: knowing Christ and walking with Him in a long, steady obedience.
