Having the conversation
Verse of the week: John 8:2
"Early in the morning He came again to the temple. All the people came to Him, and He sat down and taught them.”
Are you sharing the good news of the Gospel with those that are in darkness? Don't be ashamed of the Gospel. Share it. Be glad in it!

Origin Story
The Saga Begins in Genesis
Starting on Wednesday, June, 6:30pm – 8:00pm
LOCATION: SOUTH Building (Youth)
Sometimes our lives play out like a captivating story capped with a problematic climax; and the reality is that this is true. Our sin has been the overarching issue with all of humanity.
Enter, Jesus
For all eternity, He has had a plan to fix our sin problem and bring himself maximum glory. The entirety of the Bible points to Jesus being the Messiah; The Chosen One.
Join us as we take a look at the major themes and characters in Genesis and how even at the beginning of creation, everything points to Jesus being our Savior.
