In this episode, you'll hear a few testimonies from members of our community who participated in the last Form cohort. To apply for the 2024-25 discipleship groups and more information visit our website. 

In this sermon, our Justice & Operations Director Hannah Martha Cohen Banks asserts that Kingdom Service is the practice of putting ourselves in discomfort, submitting to the kingdom, so we can partner with the Spirit in the making of all things new and grow in Christlike humility. 

In this message, Pastor Chris explores the spiritual discipline of Simplicity and how important it is to keep our hearts and minds centered on God’s best. 

Even though it's one of the most beautiful, empowering, and freeing spiritual disciplines of our faith, Submission is often noted as the most misused and abused. In this message from Pastor Holly, she gently teaches on what submission is not, what Kingdom submission actually is, the limits of submission, and ways we can practice and grow in this discipline in healthy ways.

In our new series, The Outward Disciplines, Pastor Olu explains the need for all of us to engage in these practices in order to continue developing lifestyles modeled after Jesus. Focusing on solitude, he encourages us through Luke 4:38-44, to have a regular rhythm in our lives where we are disconnecting from the crowds and clutter so we can connect deeper with God.

In this message, Pastor Chris explores Paul’s approach to mission through Acts 17. How do we approach our witness in a way that is truly good news for all people? In a way that invites and doesn’t alienate those who may not know Jesus as Lord? 

Acts 16 is a reservoir of insights and encouragement for those who seek to follow Jesus and share His love, power, and wisdom with others along the way. Often overlooked, yet a cornerstone of missional effectiveness is prayer. In this week's sermon, Pastor Olu underscores the pivotal role of prayer in our spiritual life and service, as it opens our eyes to hidden possibilities and hones our perception to participate in God's work of redemption. Get ready to be equipped with practical prayer points to fuel your faith and witness!

In this week's sermon, Pastor Olu briefly explores a pivotal moment in the book of Acts, chapters 10 and 11, where the Holy Spirit challenges Peter to connect with those he typically wouldn't, revealing God's mission of inviting everyone to His table. We will also hear from key leaders from our community, Krista Kartson, Juddie Otieno, and Dan Dreyer, who will share their experiences in cross-cultural engagement. Join us as we explore how the Spirit transforms us into people of love by opening doors to interactions with people unlike us, expanding our perspectives, and inspiring us to share our faith. Let's embark on this adventure of dissolving biases and building tables across cultures. Are you in?

Pastor Holly dives into two stories in Acts 8 involving Philip, a newly appointed leader in the early church, and leads us to ask ourselves two big and important questions: Are we willing to be interrupted AND ALSO are we willing to be the interruption?
