Dark Moments

Dark Moments

Does it ever seem like God is nowhere to be found? In the midst of life's struggles, do you ever feel like you've been left alone to fend for yourself? Perhaps you've wondered, in those especially dark moments, if He's distanced himself from you as a result of your failures and sins. Or maybe He just isn't as loving or as powerful or as present as we're supposed to believe He is. Join us for our study of Esther (whose name means "Star"), as we discover how even in our deepest darkness, the tiniest pinprick of light speaks truth and hope: God hasn't left us. His apparent absence doesn't tell the whole story. He's still moving in the background to shine His Light in the dark.

Creating Spaces

We believe that by 2022, through God’s grace and power, we will see 2,000 people baptized and growing in relationship with Jesus through the Word, prayer, and community. One key step? Creating spaces to reach more faces.
