From scrolling and gaming to workouts, sugar, and social connection. We all experience quick dopamine moments that bring pleasure and motivation, but they don’t always last. In a world full of digital noise and endless stimulation, many of us are left searching for deeper peace and lasting joy. But as humans, dopamine moments, good ones or bad ones, tend to fade away, and we strive for peace and joy that lasts forever. In this world of overwhelming abundance of dopamine availability, is it possible to find time to focus on that voice and place that can give you lasting joy? Join us as we journey together in our series, Unplug. Let's come together and learn how to refocus on what truly matters. Whether you’re exploring faith or feeling overwhelmed by distractions, this conversation will help you reconnect with lasting joy, meaningful relationships, and a life of purpose.
We’ve all experienced letting go of something to gain something better — going to bed early for a flight, skipping the party to study, or cutting back on sugar to feel healthier. Real growth often starts with releasing what’s distracting us so we can step into what matters most.
Today, we’ll talk about the everyday distractions many of us face, like endless scrolling or binge-watching, and how small, intentional changes can lead to meaningful transformation. This isn’t about perfection; it’s about awareness, balance, and choosing what brings growth to our lives.
We invite you to join us for our series, Unplug and explore how to reorder our attention and habits so technology supports our lives instead of controlling them. Together, let's strive for a lasting transformation, focusing on what truly matters; creating space for growth, clarity, and connection to be a blessing to ourselves and our loved ones!
UNPLUG is a teaching series designed to help us detox our minds so we can reclaim what matters most — God’s presence, meaningful relationships, and a focused life. During this series, our whole church will participate in a digital detox, stepping back from constant screen time and distractions so we can experience greater mental, emotional, and spiritual clarity.

Do you think good deeds ever go in vain? Acts of justice towards the poor, displays of hospitality to foreigners, or times when you've been inconvenienced to help someone—do they truly matter? What about choosing integrity when it's easier to cheat, or telling the truth when it’s simpler to lie? Consider how bringing healing to a relationship with kind words or actions can make a difference. In both the short term and the long term, you may always be observed, and no act of kindness goes unnoticed.
As God’s child, it is You who can heal a fractured world. He has a purpose for your life, and all the goodness you do in Him is never wasted. How can our lives reflect a worthwhile purpose and be a blessing to others? How do our simple acts of kindness and goodness contribute to lasting healing in a broken world?
Join us as we conclude our series filled with fulfillment, A Worthy Pursuit. Let us come together to understand how to fill our days with joy and fulfillment by pursuing the life that matters. Let us join hands to understand how we are a blessing to this world, and how each one of us is worth it all!

What comes to mind when you see someone facing financial problems? Do you ever think they should have planned better or worked harder? Do you ever feel like someone should not be as lazy to be hungry and should get a job? What if someone has nowhere to sleep for the night? Did you ever think they made too many bad choices and should have done better?
It sometimes might be challenging to go out of our way and help those in need even though they deserve it or not! Isn't it interesting that we, as God's children, have a special term for this? Mercy! Embracing mercy does not signify weakness. While the mindset of showing mercy may not be common in every situation, our God wants us to live a special life and make it count by showing kindness to others.
Having mercy is not a sign of weakness; it is, in fact, a strength and a source of fulfillment. But how do we know how far we can extend our mercy to others? From simple acts of kindness to going above and beyond, what does the Bible say about mercy?
Join us as we continue our series filled with fulfillment, A Worthy Pursuit. Let us come together to understand how our acts of kindness can create meaningful differences in a world where judgments are often made too quickly. Let us together grow in faith by discovering where true joy and fulfillment lie, becoming a blessing to our loved ones and to others around us!

In our series, A Worthy Pursuit, we’ve been exploring how our influence and everyday choices can shape the world around us. Today, we’re leaning into what it truly means to "walk humbly".
Humility isn’t about shrinking back; it’s about using our gifts and opportunities to elevate others. Jesus modeled this through surrender, service, and sacrifice; showing a strength that lifts rather than competes.
Join us today as we unpack how walking humbly can free us, ground us, and help us make a lasting impact in the lives around us.

Have you ever chased after things that ultimately left you feeling broken or without peace? Perhaps you pursued someone who rejected you, or tried something you thought would bring you satisfaction, only to end up feeling even more dissatisfied. While some things in life are truly worth pursuing, you might find yourself still feeling as though something is missing. Have you ever wondered why these pursuits leave us feeling empty?
As God’s children, He desires the best for us. He wants us to feel fulfilled and satisfied in every aspect of our lives and to enjoy every blessing He provides. But how can we discern whether we’re pursuing the right things? How can we identify what will truly bring us joy and satisfaction? Why is it even important to understand what we are seeking after?
Join us as we launch our new series, A Worthy Pursuit. Let’s come together to discuss how we can focus on the right things to amplify our joy, especially when God empowers us to direct our energy toward meaningful pursuits. Let us join hands as community to be blessed and be a blessing to our friends, family, and our loved ones.

Have you ever had moments that define everything you've worked for? Moments that feel like the culmination of your long-term efforts, or experiences that make you sit on the edge of your seat like a rocket launch?
We are the first generation to experience many such threshold moments on this Earth. First generation to witness explosive population growth. First to be fully globally connected. First generation to live with artificial intelligence. And many more.
And the most significant is that we live in the place that made it happen, we are part of this remarkable era, or we are living among those who made this happen.
As much as it is true that the Bay Area is the place of innovation that transforms the technology of the world, it is also true that it is the most unchurched/dechurched metro in the country.
No matter where you stand in your faith journey today, and no matter where you stand in your personal life – God has placed you here for a reason. He is going to hold onto you, guide you, and use you to spread His light, love, and his presence to transform the Bay Area through you!

As much as we know we don't have to travel to certain places to feel the holiness of our God, He cares about the place that you determine your life in. He wants to open His presence into your life at the physical location wherever you are.
We might experience dryness or emptiness in the physical locations we live like in school, work, or home. But how can we infuse these spaces with Heavenly glory? What simple, practical steps can we take to create "thin places" where His presence meets the Earth through us? What significance do locations hold in the Bible?
Join us as we conclude our series, "Thin Places." Let's come together to explore practical ways to invite God's presence into our everyday environments. Let us together learn how to create those thin places where Heaven and Earth intersect, spreading the comfort and glory of Heaven through our lives!
