We all need purpose. Do you know why we're here? For what purpose has God put you on the Earth during this generation? Purpose drives us. It gets us up in the morning. Purpose creates a "get to" mentality instead of a "have to." Jesus had a purpose—and He lives in you.

Join us in Chapel Hill as Head Pastor Matthew Bollinger encourages us to seek Jesus in the process of discovering the purpose for which we were called.

When someone joins the military, they aren't sent straight into combat—they're trained first. They're equipped to survive, endure, and overcome the enemy. That preparation is essential. In the same way, God prepares us for spiritual battles (Psalm 144:1). He doesn't throw us in unready. Instead, He strengthens us and teaches us through situations that build endurance, wisdom, and faith.

Join us in Mooresville as Senior Pastor Byron Wicker examines the book of Ephesians as a training plan to take us where God has designed us to be.

In John 9, a man born blind is just trying to survive another day of begging when Jesus sees him, stops, and makes him part of a divine demonstration: “I am the light of the world.” With spit and mud, Jesus breaks religious norms, redeems years of shame, and opens eyes—not just physically, but spiritually. As the man’s sight is restored, his understanding of Jesus deepens: from man, to prophet, to Lord.

While water baptism is symbolic, it's much more than that. It's supernatural. Romans 6 indicates that resurrection power follows us from the baptismal waters in new life with Christ.

Join us in Chapel Hill for a short message from Head Pastor Matthew Bollinger on baptism and its significance in our lives.

We are a priestly family destined to reign with Christ (1 Peter 2:9 and Revelation 5:10). But to reign, we must first learn the way of sacrificing. Priesthood always comes before reigning. Without sacrificial love, we cannot function properly in kingly authority and power. Could this be one of the reasons for powerlessness?

Join us in Mooresville as Senior Pastor Byron Wicker shares a hopeful message about the good things God has in store for us when we lean into relationship with Him.

In John 8, a woman caught in the act of adultery is thrown before Jesus by religious leaders demanding justice. But instead of condemnation, Jesus offers unexpected mercy, and a call to turn back to God. He demonstrates that mercy triumphs over judgement.

Join us this week as Head Pastor Ryan Meade explores how God's kindness still leads to repentance, and how Jesus responds with mercy yet again.

In Ephesians 1:18, we read Paul's prayer for his brothers and sisters, that the would have minds ready to receive wisdom and revelation, and that the eyes of their hearts would be opened and flooded with light so that they will truly know Jesus. We are invited to intimately know Him and know the hope he is calling us to cherish.

Join us in Chapel Hill as guest speaker Angel Whitlow shares an encouraging word about the way His calling releases and activates His power in us for every situation.

John chapters 13–17 are a precious window into Jesus' heart. He knew what was coming, yet He focused on preparing His disciples—and us—for a deeper relationship with Him. Some have rightly called these chapters the "holy of holies" of scripture.

Join us in Mooresville as Senior Pastor Byron Wicker continues to explore what it means to know God and to be known by Him.

In John 6, a massive crowd is hungry, the disciples are exhausted, and no one seems to have anything to give—except one boy with five loaves and two small fish. In the hands of Jesus, this "child of little consequence" becomes part of a miracle that feeds thousands and leaves twelve baskets overflowing with leftovers.

Join us in Wilmington as Head Pastor Ryan Meade unpacks Jesus' plan to use those who feel unseen and inadequate as his hands and feet.

At the heart of the Christian life is now knowing about God, but being known by Him. Galatians 4:9 highlights this shift: "but now, after you have known God, or rather are known by God..." Our relationship with Him is not built on our performance but on His personal, loving initiative towards us. Our identity, comfort in our struggles, and confidence in purpose are directly tied to our relationship with Him.

Join us in Mooresville as Senior Pastor Byron Wicker encourages us to run towards an intimate experiential knowing of God in our relationship with Him.
