Family Week Three / September 1st, 2024 / Seth Kreimeyer-Kelly

Whatever family you come from we all need a seat at the table. Chairs may seem mundane and ordinary, but if you are invited to sit at the table - they become a significant form of acceptance. The definition of family is having a seat with them. In the book of Matthew, we see Jesus model this for us. We are all a part of God’s family and God has a seat for us with Him. Who in your life needs a seat next to you?

Family - Week Two / August 25, 2024 / Glenn Barteau

Paul wrote letters to churches to encourage and help in their struggles. This week we read through Philippians 2:1-4 and explored the ways a church is like a family and how we can put the ideas Paul shares into practice. When we find ourselves existing in different types of tension within our families, how can we refocus our energy on valuing others despite our differences?

Family - Week One/August 18, 2024/Ryan Kramer

We define family as the people in your life that you care about. This could be the family you were born into or the family you created. Anytime we let people into our lives, things can be complicated. This week, we read Proverbs 14:26 and what it can tell us about living in the unconditional love of God and learning how to put the weight down that others might place on us or that we unintentionally place on them.

Back To School Bash/August 11, 2024/Glenn Barteau

It’s becoming more difficult for people to find God these days. Statistics show us that more and more people declare that they have no affiliation with any beliefs. We want to be a different expression of what a church should be. Our mission is to love people into the acceptance and freedom of Jesus Christ. Still, beyond that - Jesus is our way and our path forward - His way supersedes anything else and we want everyone to join us to experience His love and grace.

Difference Makers - Week Three/August 4, 2024/Glenn Barteau

This week concludes our series Difference Makers with an opportunity to partner and participate with others in some area of the church. That could range from praying for different ministries or even taking a step to get involved volunteering or joining a small group. We seek to be a great difference-making church and need your participation to help cultivate that just as Paul encourages that of the early churches in 2 Corinthians and Philippians.

Difference Maker - Week Two/July 28, 2024/Ryan Kramer

If we want to make a difference in people’s lives - we should probably think about how we go about it. To make a difference in the lives of others you have to show up differently than they are expecting. If our goal is to follow Jesus and be more like Him, we should also follow how He treated those around Him. When we see Jesus’ actions in John 4, we see Him meet someone right where they are, which makes all the difference.

Dedication Sunday/July 21, 2024/Glenn Barteau

One of our core values is being a multi-generational church. This means we find ways to see and honor all generations. It also means reaching back to the younger generations - part of that is investing support into and sharing solidarity with parents of that next generation. You can always do this by sharing your personal experiences, pointing others to Jesus, and encouraging others toward their own authentic experience with God. 

Difference Makers - Week One/July 14, 2024/Ryan Kramer

We don’t just attend church - we are the church. Joining a group is a powerful way to live that out. There is a whole group of people who need to know your story because it will benefit their journey. You also need to know their story because it will do transformational things in your life too. This give-and-take of life experiences brings us closer together to support one another, encourage each other, and, ultimately, better express the love of Jesus to the world around us.

Words, Actions, Reactions - Week Three/July 7, 2024/Glenn Barteau

In the final week of this series, we read through Romans 12:9-19 as we focused on actions. There are three things that we can take from Romans. 1) Don’t start with the action - start with the person. 2) Don’t let the actions of someone else determine your behavior. 3) Don’t play God. Do all things with sincere love and change your focus so you don’t end up fighting fire with fire. Who do you want to be when the situation you find yourself in is over? 

Words, Actions, Reactions - Week Two/June 30, 2024/Glenn Barteau

This series highlights how we can hold our words, actions, and reactions in a way that best reflects who we want to be. In week two, we focused on reactions and how we cultivate those responses because our reactions are formed by the things we surround ourselves with daily. If we want to change how we react we need to ask what we are filling ourselves with because that is where our reactions originate.
