Calling isn’t for a select few—it’s for all of us. We can understand where God is inviting us by making space to listen, being available, and discerning in community.

Just as God provided “bread from heaven” to the newly liberated people of Israel, God sustains us with true nourishment in Christ, one day at a time.

When Moses discovers a burning bush, he encounters a God who is both bigger than we could possibly understand, and closer than we could ever imagine. In Jesus, we encounter the one who is ultimate mystery and who chooses to draw near to us in relationship.

On her last day on staff, Colleen shared how God calls us to venture far beyond our comfort zone in serving others -- and how God equips us along the way.

Jacob was on the run—alone, guilty, and far from home—when he stumbled into a place he never expected to meet God. Even in the wake of our failures, God’s promise holds: "I am with you. I will keep you. I will bring you back. I will not leave you."

Even when we don’t understand how God is working, we know who God is – God keeps promises, and God makes a way out of no way.

The same God who spoke light into the darkness at creation has entered our chaos as Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh, to bring life, order, and hope—and that Light still shines, undefeated, even now.

Director of Youth Ministries Cory Myers explores how we connect personally and communally to the commandments of God as revealed through Moses and Jesus.

In the new creation, we will find the culmination and consummation of the work we do. Though this reality is not yet fully here, Christ’s resurrection is a promise that those who believe in him will one day experience the perfect fulfillment of all our work.

Work and worship become one in the act of joyful giving, which reflects our identity as God’s people, demonstrates trust in God’s provision, and serves as a gospel witness to the world.
