As Methodists, we are called to cultivate more disciples and deeper disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of our community and world. You are invited to join us on the journey.

This week

Lenten Sermon Series


Join us as we journey through the season of Lent while working on just saying “no" to things that we would do well to say “no" to. Our Lenten sermon series, Just Say No continues through March 22. Come hear the word from the scriptures encouraging, and at times imploring us to say “no” to things such as temptation, hypocrisy, fear, and others.

Contemporary Playlist

  1. Soul On Fire by Third Day
  2. Endless Victory by Paul Cocco
  3. Gratitude by Brandon Lake
  4. The Heart Of Worship by Matt Redman
