Worship Sneak Peek
June 14th, 2020 at 10 am
Join in our online worship service on Sunday, June 11th as we kick off a new worship series called Move Mountains. Even though some of life's struggles and challenges seem impossible to overcome, God is and has always been on the move bringing life and hope from chaos. All the way back to our creation story, the Spirit of God swept over the waters and spoke creation into existence. God is on the move. Join us as we dive into Genesis 1:1-8 to see how God's Spirit is moving today! Hope to see you online on Sunday!

Then why not join us for the Bagels and Faith summer series, Experiencing God in Daily Life?
