Journey Through the New Testament
Our entire church family is journeying through the New Testament together in 2026, one chapter at a time. We’ve created a simple reading plan, along with an audio version to walk alongside it. This journey is an invitation to slow down, open Scripture, and let God shape you one chapter at a time. Whether you feel incredibly close to Jesus right now or you’re just finding your way back, our hope is that this year feels like a fresh start with Him. As you read, take your time, underline what stands out, ask honest questions, and invite the Holy Spirit to speak into your everyday life. And remember, you’re not doing this alone, we’re doing it together. Listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify using the links below

our latest message
Above All
Colossians 1:15–23 gives us one of the clearest and most powerful pictures of who Jesus is. Paul calls us to LOOK UP and see Jesus for who He truly is: the Creator and Sustainer of all things, above all and holding everything together. We LOOK BACK and remember what Jesus has done for us through the cross and resurrection, reconciling us to God and giving us new life in Him. And when life feels uncertain or begins to shift, we HOLD FAST to the hope of the gospel, knowing our hope is secure in Christ. Jesus is above all, He has done it all, and because of that, we can trust Him with it all.
