The Way of Jesus (bonus) - There are many ways to live and look at the world. We are constantly told what our values should be by the news, social media, schools, and churches.

The Power of Presence
In Scripture, we see people spontaneously moved to worship when they find themselves in the presence of God. We are also told that God is present anytime his people gather in the name of Jesus. What if the objective of our worship was to be immersed in the presence of the Almighty? How can we surrender to the movement of His Spirit as we worship?
Living in Exile
How can we live a faithful life on mission in a world that does not accept our faith? While we are facing many modern problems, living in a culture that has difference values than the kingdom of God is nothing new. This is the story of Daniel.
The Gospel According to You
The first four books of the New Testament are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Each of these has an ancient subtitle that says, "The Gospel According To..." All four books then are eyewitness accounts to what these men saw and heard as they spent time with Jesus or interviewed other men and women. Their experiences, testimonies, and lives have shaped how we encounter the story of Jesus today. Now it’s our turn. Our own unique experiences, testimonies, and the way we live should point people to Jesus.

In a world full of division and hate, how can we be a faithful presence of love, joy, and peace, while at the same time making a difference? Please join us as we wrestle with these tensions.
