Basement Refresh

Our basement has undergone a stunning transformation with a fresh coat of paint and we’re working on exciting redesigns of classrooms. Although it was a lot of hard work, we couldn’t be more thankful for the end result. It truly feels like a blessing to have this space refreshed. We invite you to come and see the beautiful transformation for yourself. Be sure to notice the signs for the new classrooms. We can’t wait for you to see it!

From the Desk of Pastor Tom

There is nothing quite like talking about something you love. And for every believer, there is nothing we should love talking about more than Jesus Christ. In fact, I have been eagerly waiting to reach this point in our study of Colossians. I knew that we would delve into the ways in which Jesus is preeminent in four crucial areas of our lives (Our Hearts, Our Worship, Our Homes, Our Witness). It’s amazing to think that we have the answers to some of life’s biggest questions, and that we can look to Jesus to guide us in every aspect of our existence. For those of us who have experienced the transformative power of Christ, there is a deep sense of joy and gratitude that fills us and spills over into every conversation we have. So when something happens in our lives, whether big or small, we must talk about it. Jesus Christ is the most amazing thing that has ever happened to us, and we want everyone to know it. He has the power to transform our lives and make them shine with the goodness and power of God, even in the midst of a broken and sinful world. Let’s talk about Jesus, and let’s share the good news with everyone.
