We're launching a new teaching series this Eastertide called He Is Him: How to Live His Resurrection Life

During the next few weeks we'll be learning how to live our Christian faith in the light of the historic resurrection of Jesus. We'll be exploring questions like: how do I handle doubt? Why and how should I share my faith? What does it mean to obey Jesus?

So come over each Sunday to celebrate the profound love of God revealed in the Resurrection of Jesus, as we gather in worship and fellowship. Stick around for coffee hour afterward, where connections deepen amidst the warmth of community.

In our Easter Sunday message, "He Is Risen" by Rev. Seth Enriquez, we're reminded that Jesus' Resurrection assures us that even in our hardest moments, God is actively bringing hope and renewal into our lives. Yet, in today's world, we sometimes find it hard to accept such miracles, preferring what we can see and prove. But maybe we're more open-minded than we realize. If we can embrace this, we'll find ourselves ready to experience the overwhelming love of God shown in Jesus' Resurrection.
