Religion is powerful - so powerful it can shape the way we view ourselves and treat others.

Jesus stepped into a world where religion was characterized by the Temple Model and initiated something entirely new.

The arrival of Jesus signaled the end of the Temple Model and the beginning of something entirely new!

You may have heard about us. You may have driven by our building. You may have seen our signs. Who are we? Are we just another group of "christians"? Join us and discover what makes us unique...different.

Fasting is the word we use for intentional denial. Far from responsibility, these fasts give us opportunities to pursue greater communion with Jesus by emptying our lives of commotion, clutter and noise, we hope to find greater room to hear Jesus’ voice.

Lent is a period to empty ourselves of lesser things so that we might be filled with the greater things of Jesus’ good and unshakable kingdom. Ultimately, it's a pilgrimage towards Easter joy!

At some point in our attempts to get the most out of life, we lose control of our lives. We try to force one more thing in to our already busy lives and we reach a breaking point.

We're all busy. Our schedules are packed with career, family, friends, church, and other responsibilities. Sometimes our days are so full that we don't enjoy anythingbecause we're trying to do everything.

We live in a culture that continually tells us to pursue a higher standard of living in order to improve our quality of life. But "standard of living" and "quality of life" aren't the same thing. One has to do with the stuff we accumulate. The other is about the peace we experience regardless of our circumstances.

Our lives are busy and fast-paced. The lack of margin increases our stress and shortens our tempers. It can distract us from the most important things in our lives . . . and our relationships suffer.
