Where do you find your source for the real truth? Social media, the news, or even the magazines at the grocery store? None of these can truly give you the peace, comfort and the truth that Jesus provides. He has given us an incredible tool right in our hands, the word. Turn to your Bible […]

We all need God's help to persevere through situations when they get severe. So, how do we do that? Let's join Pastor Jonathan Scott this week as we dive into week four of “Where to Find God”.
“This isn't the place for pretty prayers” God can take anything we give to Him and sometimes it will not look or sound pretty, but God doesn't need that from you! Tell God what is REAL, express to Him the truth on what is going on in your life. You today, can change your mindset […]

As a church, we believe in standing on the essentials which looks like keeping Jesus first, prioritizing the gospel and being rooted in scripture. We believe that when we can practically understand how to implement those key aspects in our lives, things will start to change for the better. Let's join Pastor Jason Smith as […]
Two of the most foundational characteristics that the Bible teaches us about God is that He is holy and loving. But if holiness means being separated from sin, how can a holy God truly love a broken humanity? Let's join Pastor Jonathan Scott as he teaches us how not only are God's holiness and love […]
We are committed to building bridges that connect everyone to dynamic life in Christ and one of the ways that we're doing that is through BRIDGE GROUPS!

We've seen a lot of tragic situations, specifically this past year, that are void of justice and lacking in mercy. If we listen to our feelings and emotions, we'll want mercy for ourselves, and justice for everyone else. But what if, instead of following our own feelings or an arbitrary standard, we found and used […]
Are you constantly striving to achieve? Are you always thinking about what the next thing is? Are you consistently trying to figure out your next move? Does any of this sound familiar? The list goes on and on with things that can and do fill our minds on a daily basis. Most of the time […]
Where do you find your peace? It can be easy to attach our peace to relationships, jobs, doctors reports, etc. The list of circumstances that our peace can rely on goes on and on, but in the Bible, Jesus says that He does not give peace like the world gives. Join Jonathan Scott as he […]

There are many words you could use to describe this year but the word “normal” isn't one of them. 2020 has brought some unforeseen and unexpected obstacles, including financial challenges. Join us as Jonathan Scott and Nick Dusenbury dive into conversation about practical ways we can best steward o
How do you give when all you feel like this year has done is take? It's easy to feel like you never have enough or that the size of what you have isn't significant. That couldn't be farther from the truth. Everything that you need to do for what's ahead of you, has been given […]
Sometimes the things we forget most often are the simplest things – how to love, honor, & hope. In this time in our world it can be easy to let those things take a backseat to all of the voices and opinions that surround us. Let's take a few moments today to get back to […]
It's easy to say something you don't fully mean in the moment. To react to all the opposing opinions in the world. But the good news is that we don't have to respond like that. We can learn how to formulate our responses based on who God has made His people to be, rather than […]
Temptation is a desire for what is now, over a decision for what is best. We think of a way as humans to get what WE want, what WE desire, but that is not good for us. Learning to allow God to work in those quick thoughts of desire takes practice. The good news? You […]
Not every decision is easy to make. This world, this life and the people around us are complex and sometimes it can feel as if you don't even know what the right decision is, let alone know how to make it. We can be encouraged in the fact that God doesn't just give us the […]
The main place you experience awe will inevitably become the foundation of your understanding. That's why experiencing the wonder of God is the first and most important piece to living a life of wisdom. In your life right now, what are you most in awe of?
Sandra shares stories, experience, tips, and scripture for facing the comparison traps in our lives and our parenting.
Have you ever felt too far from God? Like your mistakes or decisions in the past disqualify you from the plans that God has for your life? You're not alone. But the good news is, God is ALWAYS pursuing you and wants to grow deeper into relationship with you. No matter what your past looks […]
We were not created to do this life alone. During this past year it has been the easiest now more than ever to be isolated, because COVID… Putting God as I priority isn't easy sometimes when we're constantly surrounded by distractions wanting our full attention. We actually have to start relying on other followers of […]
Our God is full of grace and justice for His people of His Kingdom. We must mend our hearts to what He cares about, His people. The way we treat each other should be a world living representation of His heart.
God invests back into your life when you invest in His kingdom. He invests in us by always looking out for us and never leaving our side as we walk through life. YOU can be a citizen today!
Worship is a lifestyle — not a moment or a program — that carves the way to live a dynamic life in Him. You have access to Him today to say, “Lord here I am.” Today is the day you can pass all your burdens onto Him and have true forgiveness that lasts.
As our kids grow older, part of maturity includes a healthy understanding the responsibility that comes with the choices we're free to make.
As parents, how do we know what's truth in a culture where everything is relative?
How do we balance family, work, and life without going insane?
Media is accessible everywhere, and our kids need wisdom to navigate what they consume.
Helping our kids discern the influences in their lives is an important skill develop as our children grow and mature.
A kingdom always has a ruler…but what is so different about The Kingdom of Jesus? He picks you. He gives you forgiveness and open invitation to live a full dynamic life in Him. Not only does He allow us in, He makes us like Him. He makes us a part of the family.
God recognizes our mishaps and our moments of defeat, but He doesn't sit in them. Joy is what Jesus gives us and He is always rejoicing over us. Knowing God's joy for us changes everything… ▪️It changes our identity. ▪️It changes our perspective. ▪️It changes our heart.
Joy is not something we can make ourselves. True joy is created by the One that created us. You can take one step closer towards joy today, by walking directly to the source of it: God.
Don't settle for anything else that has already been won for you through the power of the Resurrection. If you haven't already — you can recognize what Christ did for you through the Resurrection TODAY. It is never too late.
When we call Jesus “King,” the title can trigger thoughts and emotions that lead us to misunderstand who Jesus actually is. But the truth? Jesus is unlike any other king because He is a King who SUFFERS, SERVES and SAVES. ◾️He suffered so that He can understand our pain. ◾️He serves so that we can […]
