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

A LENT JOURNEY THROUGH THE PSALMS
Lent is a powerful journey of shaping when it is walked intentionally, in step with the Spirit of God. In a world that constantly pushes us to hurry, perform, and produce, Lent offers us a different way. It is a time to pause, return, and open ourselves to the Spirit's transforming work.
From Ash Wednesday to the end of Passion Week, you are invited to walk through the Psalms: prayers of confession, trust, lament, hope, and praise. Each day offers a psalm, a reflection, a prayer, and space to linger.
This is not about rushing through Scripture, but about letting Scripture run through you. Letting it shape you, unearthing things you didn't know lay dormant. Letting it ignite a new fire to follow Jesus, even if it leads to the cross.
May these psalms form you as you walk toward the hope of resurrection. May the Spirit meet you in the words, and may Jesus meet you on the road.

When Heaven Throws a Wedding
What if the end of the world isn’t what you think?
When most people think about Revelation, they imagine chaos, judgment, and strange, dramatic imagery. But what if the Bible’s final scene isn’t primarily about destruction… but about celebration?
We’re stepping into one of the most breathtaking passages in Scripture — a scene filled with thunderous praise, perfect justice, surprising joy, and an invitation that changes everything.
