Special Guest Preacher on Sunday: Bishop Robin Dease


Join us for one combined service in the Sanctuary for a special sermon from Bishop Robin Dease. We will have a church-wide breakfast after the service in the Ministry Center.


Bishop Robin Dease is the resident bishop of the Georgia Episcopal Area of The United Methodist Church, including the North Georgia and South Georgia Conferences. She was elected bishop by the 2022 Southeastern Jurisdictional Conference of The United Methodist Church and consecrated on November 4, 2022. Her first assignment as bishop was to the North Georgia Episcopal Area of The United Methodist Church and she began service in North Georgia on January 1, 2023. On September 1, 2024, she began her next assignment as bishop of the new Georgia Episcopal Area.

Six Stone Jars: The Economy of Jesus


We just started diving into Six Stone Jars: The Economy of Jesus as our next sermon series. It is a six-week study that will focus on abundance. At times, life can feel like we’re “running out” of so much, and scarcity is shutting down the party. In these moments, we are invited to turn to the currency and economy of Jesus. In His economy, the true measure of abundance is fullness for the whole community, not just for some.


This Sunday, we will focus on "filling our plans with purpose" We can't wait to see you there!
