Upcoming Opportunities
Christ & Culture: Navigating the Crisis of Our Civilization
February 1–March 29, 9:30am
This nine-week series with Pastor Eliseo Mejia is designed to explore how our cultural moment engages with the biblical roots of culture and to diagnose the deepest societal crises of our time. We will look at how Christ offers a robust response through the Kingdom of God, calling the Church to be a healing presence in a fractured world.
Additionally, through spiritual formation and practical mission, we, as followers of Jesus, learn to live as a faithful counterculture. Ultimately, this journey invites us to enjoy new cultural environments with Christ at its core—full of hope beyond the crisis.
The Marriage Course
Starting Sunday, February 1 from 5:00 to 7:00pm
The Marriage Course is designed to help couples of all ages and stages take time out of their busy lives to strengthen their connection, as well as make time and space to have enriching and meaningful conversations around the issues that matter most in your marriage. There are no group discussions, only private conversations with your spouse.
The following will be provided:
- Study journals
- Childcare for birth to 4th grade
- Light refreshments
