NEW MESSAGE SERIES

Do you long for transformation? The ability to overcome? Then join us for our latest series Rise and discover how to live in the power of the resurrected Christ! We’ll explore the miraculous events following Jesus’ resurrection, as well as the remarkable rise of the early church.

RISING UP IN FAITH, COURAGE, AND LOVE

Jesus' followers were people just like you and me. Sure, there were fishermen and tax collectors, but if the life and times of Jesus’ happened today, His disciples would have included blue-collar, white-collar, even no-collar workers. Jesus was their leader, teacher, and close friend for three years. And His death left them alone and scared.

Then out of nowhere, Jesus appeared to them, and something changed. Thanks to the Holy Spirit, these ordinary people became bold witnesses, proclaiming that Jesus was who He said He was. Even more, they claimed Jesus had risen from the dead. Those who knew his disciples from before had to admit, something had risen up in them.

The reason Jesus' resurrection is the single greatest event in human history is because the power that raised Jesus from the grave is still at work today. If you're looking for a transformation in your own life, then our new series, Rise, is for you. Maybe you feel broken, afraid, or stuck. Our hope is that through this series, you’ll discover that through Jesus, you too have the power to Rise.
