Every local church is a witness to God’s ongoing faithfulness—our church’s story is part of God’s unfolding work.

The Methodist movement is a way of following Jesus with heart, head, and hands—rooted in grace and moved to action.

From Pentecost to today, the Church is God’s gathered people—living out the Gospel in community and mission. Week 2

From Pentecost to today, the Church is God’s gathered people—living out the Gospel in community and mission.

The Gospel is God’s redemptive story of love, grace, and reconciliation—and it becomes our story through Jesus.

Complete joy isn’t found in perfect circumstances, but in abiding peace with God and hopeful trust in Christ.

Joy is made complete when we live with open hands—thankful, forgiven, and free.

Joy flows when our lives align with God’s greater purpose—not our own ambition.

C.S Lewis said, ““Joy is the serious business of Heaven.”  He is reminding us that joy isn’t a distraction from spiritual life—it’s the very essence of it. It’s rooted in divine reality, not earthly emotion or circumstance.  Over the coming weeks we hope to get DEEP into the structure of life that makes JOY possible and flourish.  We are using terms that we are familiar with related to the body - heart, mind, hands and soul to provide a slow motion look at the scriptures with the theme of JOY.    

Joy isn’t about pretending life is easy—it’s about knowing we’re never alone.

When we live in Christ’s love, joy becomes our strength, our witness, and our way of life.

This series will challenge us to confess, connect, serve, and rest in God’s presence.

Come and make your joy complete.
