What if faith was more than believing—it was about becoming? In this series, we'll explore the journey of spiritual formation as apprentices of Jesus. Together we'll learn what it means to be with him, to become like him, and to live as he lived. This is a pathway of transformation—a relationship with Jesus that reshapes our hearts, renews our habits, and empowers us to walk in his way for the good of the world.

Christianity claims to tell the most beautiful story ever told: the story of a good God who is committed to healing the world. God became human in Jesus to show us what true humanity looks like—and to invite us to become human like him. At the heart of this story is a God whose love is beyond our comprehension, a mystery that only deepens the more we explore it. As compelling as this story is, both followers of Jesus and spiritual seekers wrestle with tough questions about the church and its teachings, especially as they've been interpreted through the Bible. How do we navigate understandable concerns about topics like the treatment of women, suffering, hell, and more? And how do these questions shape our picture of who God is and how he relates to us? This series invites us to face Christianity's Biggest Questions with curiosity, courage, and hope.

We face more decisions in a day than we can count — from small, everyday choices to the life-altering ones. Knowing what to do next isn't always easy. But Dallas Willard once said, “Do the next right thing you know you ought to do.” It's simple, but not easy. In this series—The Next Right Thing—we'll explore what it means to follow Jesus one decision at a time. Because the next right thing isn't always obvious — but it's always about aligning our actual lives with God's presence, love, and direction right here and now.

On Easter Sunday we set our eyes on the God who became like us, showed us how to be fully alive as humans, died for us, and stepped out of the grave for us. There is no greater love than what we see when we look at Jesus. Jesus's resurrection invites me to love & to be loved ‘outside the lines.'

"I'm Not OK." Three words. Hard to admit. True words, for all of us at some point. During the season of Lent, we're exploring areas that easily tangle us up when we're not ok. Borrowing from what have been called the 'seven deadly sins'—pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, lust, and gluttony—this series reminds us that we can bring our brokenness to Jesus. We're invited to cooperate with God's Spirit for the transformation of our body, mind, and heart, so that we can walk in the freedom that only Jesus offers

Jesus is the centre of our faith. The Bible is a primary witness to Jesus, which means that the Scriptures are extremely important for shaping our beliefs as a community and forming our hearts and minds. But how do we read it? It`s a big library of books with several different genres, historical contexts, etc. Our conviction is that somehow the whole library of Scripture is designed to point to Jesus, so having tools to help us make meaning g from its pages matters greatly. To that end, we will spend a few weeks in a series called: How to Read the Bible. We`ll explore both “academic” and “formational” ways of reading the Scriptures to discover how the Spirit might use our holy Text to transform us in fresh ways.
