New Series: Authority Issues

I am stoked about this weekend. We are launching a new 4 week series called Authority Issues. I first heard this concept years ago from Fellowship Church. For many years I have wanted to communicate a message on Authority to our church, because most of us simply don’t understand it. […]

Want to change?

I believe that most people recognize areas in their life that needs to change. I don’t think we need someone to point them out to us. In fact, I bet most of us even WANT the change. You might see that your finances are upside down and debt is piling […]

A vision that wont let us rest

Well, this past weekend I shared some exciting news about our next step as a church. As we are wrapping up our current construction project in the next 3 months, we are already poised to take our next step as a church. We are going to expand our auditorium to […]
