40 Days of Prayer – Continues
Leading up to our Halloween Outreach, we invite you to intercede for our church and our city, praying for the renewing love of Christ to transform us. You can use this list of prompts to help guide your daily prayers. Anil Cherian will also host a 10-minute prayer time each day at 12:00pm via Zoom.

NEW DATE: Worship and Prayer Night - Wednesday, November 16
Join us at 7pm as we practice the Bible's invitation to "give thanks in all circumstances" (1Thess. 5:8) together. You won't want to miss this exciting midweek opportunity for our church to gather and to seek the Lord in worship and prayer together!

News and Updates

Current Sermon Series - Faithful to the End: A Study of Paul's Second Letter to Timothy Near the end of his life, Paul wrote one final letter to his beloved ministry co-worker, Timothy. In it, he calls Timothy--and all of us--to steadfast faith in Jesus in all circumstances. Join us throughout October as we consider how Paul's final, heartfelt words to Timothy might encourage us toward greater faithfulness today.
