Growing
No matter where we are on our faith journey, we always have something to learn about who God is and what it looks like to follow Him. We have a variety of opportunities and resources from Bible study to courses to book recommendations to equip you to dig deeper and learn something new.
LEARN //
Courses
Dive deep on particular topics or aspects of faith with both one-time and recurring courses every semester designed to help you stay curious and grow.
Bible Study
One of the best ways we have to know God and His character is by studying Scripture. Having the opportunity to do that in community can challenge us to consider different perspectives or ideas about God and give us support in our journey to become more like Christ.
CURRENT MESSAGE SERIES //
Exodus
Many of us know pieces of this book of the Bible. Baby Moses in a basket. The parting of the Red Sea. But there is so much more here. This is the story that defines what salvation means in the Bible. It’s about a God who sees, hears, and acts to set people free. Over the next 13 weeks, we’ll dig into what salvation actually means, what real relationship with God looks like, and how we’re invited to live as His people in the world.
Next Steps Podcast
Next Steps is a podcast exploring the lifelong journey of following Jesus. Join us for honest conversations about life’s big questions, everyday challenges, and finding hope in faith.
