We are passionate about fostering a community grounded in Diplomacy, Inclusion, Respect, and Empathy.

Our focus is to create a nurturing space where we can uplift and encourage one another, growing in our relationships with Christ and with each other. This group warmly welcomes people of all ages, and families are especially encouraged to attend. What makes our gatherings unique is the leadership of two members from the disabled community, who bring invaluable perspectives and experiences. We believe that through thoughtful discussions and shared experiences, we can all grow together and become beacons of hope for one another.

WEDNESDAY | 6:30-8:00 PM | BIBLE STUDY
LEADER: GRAHAM SEEL
Frequency: Weekly | Location: Creekside & Zoom | Duration: 6 Weeks-Starts 9/3
Ever wondered what it means to live as a citizen of God's Kingdom in today's world?
Join us for "Living in God's Kingdom" - a six-week journey through the
New Testament that will transform how you see Jesus, your faith, and
your daily life. We'll discover Jesus as the radical King whose
upside-down kingdom challenges everything our culture tells us about
success, power, and purpose. From His provocative parables to Paul's
subversive letters to Revelation's promise of ultimate victory, we'll
explore how the early church lived as a revolutionary counter-culture -
and what that means for us today. This isn't just Bible study; it's
training for kingdom citizenship. Whether you're facing workplace
pressures, struggling with competing loyalties, or simply wanting to
live more authentically as a follower of Jesus, this series will equip
you to bring heaven to earth, one choice at a time. Come discover the
King worth following and the Kingdom worth living for!
