Empowered! Who is the Holy Spirit and Why Do I Need Him?
The Book of Acts is more than the history of the early Church — it is the story of ordinary people empowered by the ongoing presence of the Holy Spirit. In this twelve-week journey through Acts, we will explore how the Spirit forms the Church, gives courage, transforms lives, breaks barriers, sustains believers through hardship, and continues the mission of Jesus in the world today.

Living the Kingdom Between Resurrection and Restoration
In this series, we wrestle with what it means to live in that tension. The Kingdom of God has already begun, breaking into our lives through Christ. And yet we still experience suffering, injustice, and waiting.
Now / Then is about learning to live faithfully in between—trusting what God has done, participating in what He is doing, and holding onto the promise of what is still to come.

Learning to Listen A Lenten Journey Through Psalm 119
Psalm 119 is a long meditation on the gift of God’s Word and the life it shapes within us. In this series we explore how God forms His people through Scripture—teaching us to listen, trust, and walk in His ways even in seasons of uncertainty. As we move through these passages together, we discover that God’s Word is not merely information to understand, but a living voice that guides, restores, and leads us into deeper faith.
