"What About....."
New Sermon Series

Even with a Master's of Divinity (ya'll, my degree means I've mastered the divine...just sayin'), trying to discern and explain the Trinity is confusing. God is parent/father/creator and God is Jesus and God is Holy Spirit -- three, but one. 

And that kind of confusion is what this next sermon series is all about -- "What About_______?"

Because let's face it, we all have questions about faith, God, religion, the Bible, sin, hurt, forgiveness, grace......so let's just ask the questions. 

This week — "What About Trinity?"

Join us for a very special guest too (psst....the bishop).

See you Sunday!
- Pastor Ryan
