There are moments in our lives when we will face a choice – will we continue doing what we’ve always done or will we take a step toward a new future? This is one of those moments. Will you be open to what lies ahead?
To be OPEN is at the heart of who we are called to be. It takes a willingness to listen, to be disrupted and to make space for new things. Before we can grow, we must be OPEN.
Join us on a journey to find the key that will OPEN new doors in a future that is full of possibility and hope. Doors that lead to a vision that will have great impact on the lives of people for generations to come. Most of all, be open to where God might be calling you to go in your faith.
All that is required of you is a willingness to be OPEN. Are you ready?

There is a lot that the church has gotten wrong over the years. We have often strayed from the vision and teachings of Jesus. In the process, the church has excluded, hurt, or rejected people. The constant call for the church is to look more and more like the body of Christ in the world. So in this series, we will talk about some ways the church has gotten it wrong by drifting from the teachings of Jesus, and we will work to move closer to where Jesus calls the church to be.

Everyone wonders what happens in the end. But does anyone really know for sure? The book of Revelation gives us clues about where we’re headed, but the picture that it paints is anything but clear. There is meaning buried in all the mystery if we are willing to sift through the strange and uncover the messages of hope that are contained/embedded within. Questions will remain, but God’s promises will too. Will the future be heaven on earth? Or is it all “Fire & Brimstone”? Find out what’s in store #InTheEnd
