Discover how God's invitation to rest is not just for our bodies, but for our souls.

Prophetic Ministry
Personal prophetic ministry will be available after service in the Main Sanctuary. In-person only. No Zoom.
What is Prophetic Ministry?
Prophetic ministry is different from a typical prayer ministry experience in that we come to hear from the Holy Spirit without specific prayer requests or an agenda. We work as a team when sharing a word. We prophesy in part recognizing that each person brings in a unique piece that can bring a fuller picture of what God wants to share with us. Our primary objective is simply to speak words saturated in God’s love and grace so that you can love God more.
[SERMON SERIES] House Built on the Rock
In seasons of transition and uncertainty, Jesus offers us an unshakable truth: "Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them… is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock" (Luke 6:47-48).
