Love God, love people, and change the world. We believe the life and lessons of Jesus aren’t just good advice, but are Good News for us here and now. As a church, we are all about following Jesus and know there’s no end to that journey—we’re more about becoming than arriving. We are committed to becoming a multi-generational, multi-ethnic, multiplying movement of Christ followers, equipping and empowering our kids and students to not only be the church of tomorrow, but the church of today.
Join us on a journey into the perplexing world of disappearances, where individuals vanish without a trace, leaving behind a void filled with questions and speculation.
Why even bother with grattiude? This world doesn't always give us things to be grateful for... so good thing we're different! It turns out there are great benefits to gratitude as a follower of Jesus. In fact, gratitude might just fuel a focus and a love that gives us the best way to communicate the love of Christ to the world around us!

In our series finale, "Wholly Church – Cleared for Takeoff," discover how fully embracing all five APEST gifts (Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Shepherd, Teacher) empowers the church to soar and fulfill God's mission. No more settling for complacency or risking burnout—it's time to find your role, plug in, and make disciples with clarity and passion. Join us Sunday as we step into our purpose, united and ready for takeoff!…
Are we a mission-driven church, or are we just maintaining what we have? In this powerful sermon, we explore Acts 13:1-3 and the calling of Paul and Barnabas, uncovering the difference between a church that merely sustains itself and one that boldly steps into God’s mission. Discover how apostles—pioneers, innovators, and movement makers—are vital for the church today, and learn how you can step into your unique calling. Join us as we set sail from the harbor and embrace the adventure of making disciples!…
As we continue our APEST series, we dive into Shepherding—a crucial yet often misunderstood role in the church. Jesus called Himself The Good Shepherd, a direct challenge to the Pharisees and a declaration of His Messianic mission. Guest pastor Erik Gragert from Union Chappel’s traditional worship joins us to explore how churches thrive when all five biblical functions (APEST) are active—and what happens when they aren’t. Don’t miss this thought-provoking message on how Union Chappel can embrace God’s blueprint for a vibrant, growing church!…
What if God wants to use YOU to speak His truth and encourage His people? This Sunday, we explore the Prophetic function in the church—what prophecy really is, why it matters today, and how we can develop a greater sensitivity to God's voice. Come discover how hearing and speaking God’s heart can transform your faith and the world around you!…
What comes to mind when you hear the word evangelism—street preaching, door knocking, or awkward conversations? In this powerful sermon on Matthew 28:16-20, we explore how Jesus empowered hesitant disciples to share the Gospel with boldness. With shocking statistics on the decline of Christianity, practical action steps, and a fresh perspective on evangelism, you’ll learn how to make sharing your faith a natural, everyday part of life. Join us as we uncover how the Great Commission isn’t about conversion quotas—but about sowing seeds that lead to transformation.…
Join us for an inspiring sermon on Teaching, as we explore how Jesus, the ultimate Teacher, transforms lives through truth, love, and action. Discover how learning like an apprentice—not just a student—can deepen your faith and bring you closer to becoming like Christ. Don’t miss this powerful message filled with practical steps to grow in your walk with Jesus!…
Are we firing on all cylinders as a church? In this engaging message based on Ephesians 4:11-13, we’ll explore how God designed the church with five distinct roles—Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Shepherds, and Teachers (APEST)—to help us grow, unify, and mature as the Body of Christ. Discover how activating these gifts can transform individuals and communities, and learn practical steps to embrace your unique calling. Don’t miss this thought-provoking look at the ancient wisdom that can revolutionize the modern church.…
What if the key to a life of purpose and impact in 2025 begins with just one word? Join us as we dive into the inspiring story of Nehemiah and uncover how looking out, using your unique gifts, talents, and experiences, can make a difference in the world. This sermon will guide you in choosing your word, aligning your life with God's mission, and stepping boldly into His purpose for you. Don't miss this life-changing message, the final part of our series, "One Word That Can Change Your Life!" Perfect for anyone seeking clarity, direction, and a deeper connection with God in the new year.…
If we have properly prepared our hearts (soil), it's time for God's Word to arrive. But sometimes the preparation, and the arrival of the Word come in unusual ways. Follow Elijah's encounter with God and the One Word process to see what a difference there is between a good word and a God word!
Some people choose a single-word resolution to live by in the New Year. It helps provide clarity and focus. As Jesus followers, we have the most powerful WORD ever. How can we ensure that we let THE WORD dwell in us? How will life be different as a result?
When God says Jesus will be with us, He means it literally. Jesus isn't just with us "in spirit," He's with us in the everday chaos of life and He desires to make a home in us. If Christ is in us, we'll never be spiritually homeless (aka, restless souls). Come and explore ways to bring the Presence of Christ into your daily life.…
God's joy is found in faith, not feelings. No matter what's going on around us, we can experience Joy because of what's going on in our relationship with God. Come and learn from the Psalmist how we can sow seeds, even in sorrow, that will reap joy.
How can we be restored? And why is that important? Being restored brings us back to the beginning; to the creation God intended. Our best self-help efforts can only make improvements, but God can make things new through the power of restoration!
Here's the bad news: we cannot save ourselves. But here's the good news: God can, and already has saved us. Come and explore why Jesus is so essential and experience the depth of His love for us. This is why He came to us, and this is why He wants to live in us.
