November 02 How do others shape who I am? | Sermon by Dr. Clayton Oliphint | November 1, 2026
We all have a picture in our heads of what a leader looks like: confident, polished, out front. But flip through the pages of the Bible and a very different pattern emerges. God has a long history of choosing the overlooked, the unlikely, and the underprepared. In this series, we'll explore what that means for us, and how God might be shaping you into exactly the kind of leader the world needs right now.

October 26 Can prayer help me be a better person? | Sermon by Rev. Allison Jean | October 25, 2026
It's hard to ignore how divided things feel right now. And if you're honest, maybe you've felt the pull yourself: the temptation to write people off, to plant yourself firmly on one side of the line. But Jesus never gave us that option. "Love your neighbor as yourself" wasn't a suggestion, and it wasn't meant for easy times. This series is for anyone wrestling with what that commandment actually looks like in a messy, divided world. Spoiler: God's grace is bigger than the gap between us.

September 28 What do I do when I feel lonely? | Sermon by Rev. Sarah Marsalis-Luginbill | September 27, 2026
Fear is universal. Faith is a choice. The Bible says it more than any other command: "Do not be afraid." Not because life isn't scary, but because we were made for more than fear. In this series, we'll dig into Scripture, name the fears we carry, and explore how God transforms them into something unexpected: courage.
