Sunday Scripture: Amos 5:18-24

Join us Sunday for a message of inspiration that revisits the timeless call for justice and righteousness, as evoked by both the prophet Amos and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Pastor Rachel will help us explore our role in continuing Dr. King's legacy of building just and equitable communities. Discover how Amos’s ancient call to repentance and justice resonates today, urging us to align our worship with acts of compassion and healing, just as Jesus taught. Come and be challenged, inspired, and equipped to let justice and righteousness flow through your life, transforming the world around you.

We have 4 unique ways to worship on campus and digitally:

8AM in the Sanctuary | Weekly communion & favorite hymns.

9:30AM in Maxwell Hall | Sing praises with our band.

11AM in the Sanctuary | Enjoy familiar liturgy and hear our choir.

11AM Digital Worship on YouTube | Join in the live community chat or come back anytime later to worship
