As we journey through our Grow Up sermon series, we’re leaning into the spiritual disciplines that help us grow upward - deeper in Christ, stronger in faith, and more unified as a church family. To help us take practical steps together, we’ve created a Bible Reading Guide that will lead us all the way to Easter.
By Easter Sunday, when we will have read all four Gospels, along with daily reflections on the spiritual disciplines as they are exemplified in God’s Word. Each week, you’ll read passages that highlight the importance of worship, Scripture, prayer, fasting, giving, fellowship, and serving.
This guide is designed to help us engage with God’s Word daily, build consistent rhythms of spiritual growth, and allow the Lord to shape us from the inside out. As we read the same passages together, we’re not just growing individually - we’re growing upward together as a church.

We need your help!

At the beginning of 2026, Pastor Bruce left us with a year-altering challenge - a question meant to shape how we step into this new year: What will you make of God in 2026?
If our belief is that God is bigger, it will shape our decisions. We won’t place limitations on Him, and we’ll live with greater boldness. We’ll remove barriers, repent where needed, and choose to live in freedom.
As we were reminded, we don’t need God to be bigger - we need a clearer view of who God already is. So join us by lifting our eyes, aligning our hearts, and seeking God in worship and prayer. Let’s journey through 2026 with a clearer view of God, together.
