Fall 2025 Sermon Series | Begins Sunday, September 28

Whether you’ve been part of the church for years or you’re just giving it one more chance… this space is for you.
We know that faith can be complicated. Some of us have walked away. Some of us have been hurt by people who claimed to speak for God. Some of us carry questions we were told we shouldn’t ask.
But we believe God is not afraid of hard questions— so we shouldn’t be either. This series is a conversation for the wounded, the doubting, and the hopeful.
If you’ve ever asked:
“Is There Really Only One Way to God?” (Sunday, 9/28 and Wednesday, 10/1)
“How Could a Good God Allow Suffering?” (Sunday, 10/5 and Wednesday 10/8)
“Hasn’t Science Disproved God?” (Sunday, 10-12 and Wednesday, 10/15)
“When the Church Gets it Wrong” (Sunday, 10-19 and Wednesday, 10/22)
“How Can a Loving God Send People to Hell?” (Sunday, 10/26 and Wednesday, 10/29)
…you’re not alone.
And you are welcome here. Together, let’s explore together what faith looks like when it’s honest, healing, and full of grace.
“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me.” Matthew 11:28, The Message
