What if the moment you’ve been waiting for… is already here?
Right now, something is happening in our city. People are searching for hope, asking deeper questions, and showing up in ways we haven’t seen before. And throughout history, when moments like this happen, God invites ordinary people to step in—and everything changes. But here’s the tension: moments like this don’t last forever.
In this 5-week series, The Time Is Now, we’re going to wrestle with what it looks like to recognize a God-given opportunity, step through fear, make real sacrifices, and be part of something bigger than ourselves. Because this isn’t just about a church. It’s about the people who aren’t here yet. And at some point, we all have to decide if we’re going to step in…or miss out.

Come Alive is a six-week journey that begins with the explosive hope of Easter and unfolds into the life-changing reality of what the resurrection of Jesus truly means. The empty tomb wasn’t simply the end of death—it was the beginning of a brand-new future for humanity and for the whole world.

If death is not the end and heaven is real, then every moment matters more than we imagine.

Something feels off. In the world, in our relationships, in ourselves… and we know it. Broken Things Restored is a four-week series leading into Easter that starts where we all actually live: in the fracture. But it doesn't stay there. From Genesis to Palm Sunday, we trace the story of a God who doesn't wait for us to clean ourselves up before He comes looking — a God who pursues, who pays the price, and who walks straight into broken cities and broken lives with relentless resolve. This is not a series about trying harder or believing better. It's about the kind of redemption that costs everything and changes everything. If you've ever felt like something's not right… in the world around you or somewhere deep inside, this is the story you've been waiting to hear.
