As many of you have Good Friday services tonight, we want to remind you to take a moment in your day to pause, reflect, and acknowledge the sacrifice that Jesus made for us.

Too often, we get caught up in the busyness of life and forget that we are children of the Most High God. Give thanks to Jesus as you go throughout your day today. We invite you to pause, reflect, acknowledge, and send up your praises.

Jesus, we praise you and we love you.

We have extended registration!

Registration now closes on April 23rd, 2025

Being a hero maker means moving beyond doing all the work yourself; it's about empowering others to lead, serve, and multiply their influence for the Kingdom. Not only providing a space of discipleship, but a mindset of cultivation. True spiritual growth doesn’t stop with one person—it creates a ripple effect that reaches far beyond.

How can we cultivate people into heroes?

Holy Weekend—from Good Friday to Easter—is a sacred time, but it can also be stressful for those leading others. If you're feeling stretched, you're not alone. In the midst of serving, don’t forget to care for your own soul.

Resources are available to support you through rest, prayer, and reflection. May you experience the hope of resurrection not just in what you share, but in your own heart.
