- Religion och spiritualitet
We seek transformation in Christ everywhere.
That word everywhere is significant. We are passionate about sharing the Gospel in churches, homes, workplaces, downtown, in nature, nursing homes, and even at your favorite coffee shop, because we believe in the transformative power of Jesus’ love, and we want everyone to know Him.
"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." (Romans 12:2)

Worship: Of (Connection)
When we worship, God reminds us that we are all part of the entire body of Christ, which gives us purpose and reminds us we are never alone.
-
Worship: In (Reflect)
When we worship Jesus in the core of our being we will recognize His deep and wonderful presence in such a way that we will go and live different lives.
-
Worship: Up (Praise)
Worship is the recognition that all of our praise and devotion go to God, not ourselves. We lift up our eyes to the glory of God and seek to worship the Lord of the universe in all of our being.
-
Soul Searching: Praise (Easter)
Not only did Jesus conquer death for Himself, He conquered it for all of us! He appeared to many after the Resurrection then and now!
-
Soul Searching: Submission (Lent)
The discipline of submission is one that is difficult to practice because it means we must trust God enough to release control of our lives to God. Submission means choosing to prioritize God’s ways over our own. Paradoxically submission leads to true freedom and connection with Christ.

Soul Searching: Confession (Lent)
The spiritual discipline of confession is more important than we think for the health of our souls. True confession involves examining our conscience with intentionality, expressing sorrow for our sinfulness, and a determination to not continue sinning. We are invited to practice confessing both with God and with other, carefully discerned individuals.
