April's Series:

Odd Ones Out

All month long, we’ll walk through the truth of what it means to be set apart by God in order to reveal Him and His nature. As we uncover the truth of what it looks like to follow Jesus in our culture, we’ll see the beauty in being a light that shows the true light of the world: Jesus.
