Alpha

Training starts April 18

We want to be a part of a city-wide Alpha movement, but we need your help.

What is Alpha? Whether you’re curious about faith or just want space to talk about life, Alpha is for you. It runs all over the world in churches, homes, cafés, and online, bringing people together to watch thought-provoking talks and have honest conversations. No pressure, no judgment, just real connection. Everyone is welcome.

We will start training leaders on Saturday, April 18. Join the team to find out more. If you have any questions, please contact Tyrone Vinegar.

Monday Night Prayer

Monday at 6:45pm

Every Monday, we meet in the Sanctuary at 6:45pm to pray. We are a community built on Expectant Prayer, boldly and unceasingly coming to the Father to advance His mission and Kingdom in the world. We believe prayer is the engine that moves us into all the Lord has prepared for us—welcoming the Spirit’s work in our church and stepping fully into the ongoing conversation with the Trinity. This is a time of worship and prayer led by the Holy Spirit to intercede as a family for our church, city, and the world.
