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

Athletes call it being "in the zone"—that moment when everything clicks and you're fully engaged in what matters most. But what if God is inviting us into something deeper than focus, performance, or productivity? What if the life Christ offers isn't found by striving harder, but by drawing closer to Him?
Join us as we discover what it means to step deeper into the life Jesus has for us. Together, we'll explore how prayer, love, and serving others help us stay connected to what truly matters. We will also celebrate Communion as a church family as we remember His grace and faithfulness.
