He Lives!

    And it makes all the difference.

    It had never happened before

    Every person, every generation has ended the same: death and decay.


    But not this time. The deepest hope of all humanity, the desperate grasp at life within every human soul – it had happened. It was real. Jesus Christ lived.


    Some may call it a fairy tale, others a myth. But history testifies to its authenticity: Jesus Christ rose from the dead. And the reality of his resurrection thrills the human heart with an almost unspeakable hope – the hope that death might be undone for us, too!


    He lives! This is Easter. This is the resurrection. This is hope for you.


    We invite you to experience the power and hope of Easter as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. Join us to grab hold of what you’re heart yearns for - and finds in Christ.

    A Quiet & Contemplative

    Good Friday

    Join us on Good Friday as we remember the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. Our Good Friday service will include reflective music, Scripture readings, and a message focused on the significance of Christ's death and the redemption it offers to all humanity.
