GROW UP

Connecting with God through weekly worship and spending time daily in the Word with God


Lent Midweek Worship - Wednesday, March 4 - 12:15pm & 7:15pm

Join us for Week 2 of the Dying His Death, Living His Life worship series for Lent, as we embrace the truth that our greed for the things of the earth died with Christ on the cross so that we might live to seek the treasures of God in heaven instead.


Lent Sunday Worship - March 8 - 8:15am & 10:45am

Dying to Doubt, Living by Faith

In this service for week 3 of Lent, we recognize that God has made it possible for all our doubt to die with Christ the Crucified so that we might live by faith alone in Him.
