Week of May 21, 2026

Starting this Sunday: the culmination of the ALIVE Trilogy. We've explored resurrection life, thriving in God's abundance, and now the purpose and impact of our lives. We look at key moments in Revelation to discover how the end of things shapes the way we live today.

The ALIVE Trilogy · Part 3

The Wonder of Christ

May 24 - Pentecost Sunday

What is forming you? Every day, we are shaped by what we give our attention to - fear, hurry, anxiety, achievement, comparison, or the love of Christ. This Pentecost Sunday, we begin our Restore series by looking at Revelation's opening vision: Jesus standing among the seven lampstands, present with struggling churches before he ever speaks a word of correction.

Together, we'll discover that Spiritual Formation is not about manufacturing holiness, but making ourselves available to the Holy Spirit, who forms us in grace, forgiveness, healing, and love.

26/27 Giving Pledges
