Peace on Earth?
December 12 | 6:00 PM | Worship Center East
December 13 | 6:00 PM | Worship Center East
Noise. Strife. War. Turmoil. Chaos. Conflict. Trouble. Unrest.
For so many of us, these words describe the state of your mind, your day to day, your relationships, the whole world really… And every December at Christmas you hear of peace, but is it truly available? Right now? If there could be peace on earth, what will it take to bring it about? Who is even able to do it? Jesus, the Son of God, said and promised many things about real peace for those that love Him.
This special evening is for anyone and everyone as our pastors and musicians share the good news we all need. Come hear what God has said, as He invites you to experience the peace that goes beyond understanding.

Prisoner Packets
Connie Maxwell Christmas store
Abounding Love, our Foster + Adoptive Care Ministry, is partnering with the Connie Maxwell Children’s Ministry to supply items for the Connie Maxwell Christmas Store. This is a way to provide children within their ministry to give gifts to their friends and families at Christmas time.

Current Sermon Series
Understanding who God is is foundational to our understanding of the Gospel. In Genesis, we learn that God is our Creator and that He is sovereign, gracious, and faithful.
The Gospel doesn’t make sense if God is not in charge. God’s sovereignty is what makes sense of everything! In this series, we will see how the story of creation shows us who our Heavenly Father is and why that matters for our understanding of the Good News of God.
