"It's hard to believe that Easter is upon us but I am sure glad it is! It felt just like yesterday that we were celebrating the birth of Christ. Time does seem to pass by more quickly the older we get, doesn't it? The week between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday is a great time to slow down our hearts and our lives to really focus on the impact of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Use God's Word to align your heart with His heart leading up to this Easter weekend. Here is a great resource to lead you or your family in: Easter Devotional by Crossway."

-JP Poisson, Student Pastor

Join us for Holy Week! We have 3 days of gatherings. The students will lead us on Wednesday on the topic of "Feast." We'll host a Good Friday service to prepare our hearts for Sunday. Then, on Sunday, we'll celebrate the risen King!

NEW DATE! How To Disciple Someone – Led by Pastor Cam Lloyd – At the end of Matthew’s gospel, Jesus gave the church a clear and simple instruction: Go and make disciples. This is an essential duty in the Christian life. But how do you disciple another person? This workshop will explore a few practical issues: How do you start a discipleship relationship? What do you talk about when you meet? And how can you replicate this with the person you are discipling?

We're excited to participate in Secret Church hosted by David Platt in this one-night event. There will be intense study of the Bible and intentional time in prayer for persecuted brothers and sisters around the world. Theme: WHO AM I? Gender. Sexuality. Artificial Intelligence. Race. Justice. Genomics. The Metaverse. Life seems complicated these days. Fragmented even. And everyone has an opinion. But what does the Bible say about all of these issues? About YOU? About ME? About the 7 billion people that fill every street, town, campus, village, apartment, and neighborhood on earth?

College Connection! We will be meeting right after we just celebrated Jesus's resurrection earlier in the week. We will discuss how to share the compelling evidence for this historic fact with others.
