NEW SERMON SERIES—The Way We Walk: Share—Motivation for Multiplication—We share a generational mindset because Jesus sends His church to make disciples. We invest in people and ministries in a way that outlasts us—so disciples make disciples—and we trust the Spirit to multiply ordinary faithfulness into Kingdom growth. Readings for the week Psalm 78:1-7 and 2 Timothy 2:1-10, and Matthew 28:16-20.

WANT TO DIVE DEEPER? Join us for an adult Bible study following the worship service in the Community Center. Pastor Ben digs into the sermon and the readings between services.
