Family Services are here from June 28th to August 2nd! During this time, there will be no Kids Church or Foundations 56. This annual break creates space for our incredible leaders to enjoy a well-deserved rest while giving kids, teens, and adults the opportunity to worship together as one church family and grow alongside one another.

Our sermons are available online! You can browse through our sermons by series, date or speaker.

Manger Things - An Advent Series

November 30, 2025 - December 21, 2025

This Advent, we’re stepping into the story behind the most famous animal-feeding trough in history. The manger shows up in every nativity scene on Christmas cards to Christmas movies, but, as N. T. Wright reminds us, its importance isn’t the crib itself, but what the manger points to—the identity and mission of the baby lying in it. In a world that often feels like the “Upside Down,” Jesus comes bringing a different kind of reality—hope, love, joy, and peace. These aren’t the world’s versions, but God’s: deeper, truer, and wonderfully disruptive. Join us as we explore the “Manger Things” that turn our expectations upside down and invite us into the life Jesus came to bring.
