Witnesses Sermon Series

We are continuing our sermon series this Sunday in Acts called “Witnesses”. In Acts, we get to see how the new community of Christ followers live, love and share the Good News that is rooted in Christ’s resurrection. The Holy Spirit moves powerfully among them as they trust Him and are led by Him. 

On the first day of the week we came together to break bread.” – Acts 20:7

Breaking bread was a crucial part of the church’s gathering. As a community, during this series, we want to break bread (take communion) together each Sunday. This is a great time for us to remember what the Lord has done, to remember how Jesus nourishes us, and to remember to look forward to Christ’s return. We are excited to see where God leads us as we lean into Him, and continue to make Jesus’s life, death and resurrection the center of our lives.


Celebrate Baptism

Let’s celebrate this beautiful baptisms we had this Sunday where a few of our WA Kids affirmed their faith in Christ. If you didn’t get to witness them on Sunday you can watch the video above.

Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. – Acts 2:38 NIV


Colombia Church Plant

God is doing amazing things at the church we helped plant in Colombia. The building is currently under construction but that hasn’t stopped the believers there. The church is making a difference in the community and meeting under a tree to worship and have service. If you missed the video on Sunday you can watch it above.

Parenting Through The Phases Workshop 

You have approximately 936 weeks from the time your child is born until he or she graduates from high school. It goes by fast, and kids change and grow quickly. It’s as if they shift or move on just as you’re starting to figure them out. It all makes the responsibility to shape a child’s faith and character feel overwhelming. This workshop will give you some tools and resources to maneuver through each phase. July 21st, July 28th & August 4th 9-11:30.
