How different would your year be if you left behind fear? The fear of fitting in, or of failing, or of the unknown, can hold us back from fully pursuing all that God has for us. God hasn't given us a spirit of fear; so let's not live in it!
What if you went all in this year? What if you left behind spiritual apathy and lived into your God given purpose? On week 1 of our new message series Pastor Dan challenges us to live into our God given purpose and leave behind the comfort of being "lukewarm".

As Christians, we believe in Heaven, but what is it like? Should we think about it or worry about that later. Why is it such an important part of our faith. This week, as we conclude our series, Pastor Dan talks about the hope we have in heaven.
Pastor Dan brings the message on Baptism Sunday.
What's your first response to news? Worry, fear, calling someone? Our first reps once should be prayer. Prayer is powerful and effective. In the final message of our James series we look at prayer and the example we have in Elijah.
How we plan and make decisions is so important! Time moves fast and there is so much uncertainty about tomorrow. While scripture teaches the wisdom of planning, it also recognizes that our perspective and relationship with God is a huge part of how we should plan. This week Pastor Dan looks at James 4 and 5 and talks about what it looks like to make decisions with an eternal perspective.
This Sunday Pastor Abigail brought a message about the weight of our words, looking at some key takeaways to overcoming our tongue. Do you struggle to control your mouth? When we can overcome and control our tongue with the help of the Holy Spirit, every other area of our lives will change.
The goal isn't growing old, but growing up! We want to become more like Christ the longer we follow Him. There is an enemy for our soul who is actively working to stop you from becoming mature in Christ. Satan wants to tempt us to follow our own desires rather than pursuing Jesus who ultimately satisfies us. Don't take the bait! As we study the book of James together we pray that God speaks to you and that you are inspired, encouraged, and empowered to take your next step in following Him.
Life is full of curveballs. When our joy depends on our circumstances we can become an emotional roller coaster. The mature person learns how to “count it all as joy” no matter what they are facing. This message, Pastor Dan talks about moving from “immature” to “I'm-mature” for any kind of trial.
Join us this week as our Kids Director, Allison Dominguez, closes out our series Summer in the Psalms.
We all have moments where we feel regret, guilt, or even shame. David experienced the same thing and yet is called "a man after God's own heart." How do we deal with guilt and move on after messing up? We pray this message from Psalms 51 and 32 encourages you and that you find freedom from guilt and the joy of a clean conscience!
Have you ever struggled with doubt? Many of us have questions when our life experience and what we know about God doesn't seem to line up. How do we respond in those seasons? Doubt and having a crises of faith aren't off limits at church. We pray this message from Psalm 73 brings you hope!
There is so much power in “stopping” in faith. This message from Pastor Charles Moodie will encourage you and build your faith. Imagine what God can do through people committed to listening and following His lead!
