Problem #1 - Spiritual and Practical Challenges for families in church

Problem #2 - Why kids are leaving the church as teenagers

Problem #3 - The mainstream acceptance of false teachers in the church

This fall, we’re embracing a new rhythm as a church—one that creates space for growth, deeper relationships, and spiritual renewal. We believe with the help of the Holy Spirit, we can take meaningful steps toward a healthier church culture.

🛑 Protecting Saturdays

We’re intentionally freeing up Saturdays from weekly church events to promote:

-Rest & renewal
-Time for family & relationships
-Healthy life rhythms

While special events (like worship nights or workdays) may occasionally happen on Saturdays, they’ll be rare and thoughtfully spaced out.

🎨 Creative & Multi-Generational Teaching

Pastor Erik is shaping Sunday mornings to engage all ages—with interactive moments, visuals, and themed sermon series like:

• Lawless (Book of Judges – Western theme)

• Jesus' Greatest Hits (80’s Music theme)

• Christmas Light (Advent series)

• Prophet or Losers (Prophets of the Bible)

These themes help make God’s Word memorable, fun, and relevant.
