Read Through the Bible 2025
2025 IS OUR YEAR OF THE BOOK!
We're inviting you to join us on an exciting and challenging journey—reading through the Bible in its historical chronological order. Together, we'll unravel the Scriptures, bringing clarity to its narrative and discovering the incredible arc of God's redemptive plan.
As we explore the most transformative book in human history, we believe something remarkable will happen: God will reveal Himself in fresh, undeniable ways. This isn't just a reading plan—it's an invitation to draw closer to the heart of God, to understand His story, and to grow together as a community of faith.
Everything you need to get started is on our Read Through the Bible landing page HERE—let's seek Him together through His Word!

We're excited to head back to Breckenridge, CO for TRIBE 2025! It’s going to be an incredible experience packed with activities and engaging services.

While in Breckenridge, we'll be taking advantage of all the fun the mountains have to offer, and students will get to share experiences that they will remember for a lifetime! But the most impactful part of TRIBE is what happens when we pause the recreation and focus on God together. At TRIBE, your student will get to engage in teaching from the Bible, impactful services, and small group conversations.

Unfiltered: A Study of Psalms
Real. Genuine. Authentic. In the book of Psalms, we find the rawest, most honest cries of the human heart — not the polished prayers of the pious, but the gut-level emotions of people wrestling with God in real time.
Unfiltered is a 6-week journey through selected Psalms that invites both believers and skeptics into this ancient poetry that leans into God in the midst of celebration, worship, pain, doubt, and struggle. The Psalms aren’t religious clichés. They’re spiritual reality. And they offer something our modern world desperately needs: permission to be honest, and the God who meets us there.
The Psalms speak our language. They don’t demand perfection — they invite authenticity. In the words of C.S. Lewis, "The most valuable thing the Psalms do for me is to express the same delight in God which made David dance."
Join us at 9:15 or 11:00 on Sunday, June 1 as we begin this new series together!

Foundations Workshops
In a world filled with shifting beliefs and constant challenges to truth, having confidence in your faith foundation isn’t just important—it’s essential.

March 30:RedemptionApril 27:AssuranceMay 18: New Life

Each one-hour workshop focuses on a theological topic, offering clear teaching, guided questions, and simple strategies for making these truths accessible to everyday life.
