Sermon Series: Living Sacrifice
What does it look like to live our lives for God? In Romans 12:1-2, we are called to be living sacrifices, transformed by the renewing of our minds. This series explores how living for God means embracing contentment, being intentional in our actions, and cultivating gratitude. As we reflect on these values, we also recognize the importance of the stewardship of our financial resources. At the end of the series, we will make financial commitments that will help determine what we can accomplish together in the coming year. |

Peace Nursery Refresh
Kiley Aidt has been our nursery coordinator for nearly 7 years. In that time she has barely put her touch on the place other than loving the kiddos that enter the space. She is giving the nursery a makeover and has a list of wishes she’d like to add to the functionality of the space and the needs of your children and grandchildren that use the space. Please use link below to donate to our amazon wishlist.

Join a Small Group!
We are excited about several new groups that are forming with upcoming event opportunities. All of our groups are open and are looking for people to join.

There is a place for you here.
