We'd love to connect. This Week's Message "Faith on Trial pt.1" James 2:14-26 Ask around and almost everybody will tell you they’ve got faith. James isn’t impressed by that. He wants to know what your faith actually does in the middle of your regular week, when nobody’s watching and life is leaning on it. If you’ve ever wondered whether what you believe is the real thing, or whether it’s something else, this message is especially important for you. And here’s the thing: these verses are uncomfortable. But, they’re honest, and they’re ultimately good news. This is the first of two Sundays which looks at a passage James is particularly known for: Chapter 2:14-26. You’ll leave with a clearer picture of what real faith in Jesus Christ looks like. We’ll close our worship together by sharing communion as a family.

Membership is how we, as a church, know that you are with us, committed, and engaged with the mission. It's easy to attend a church off and on, it's another thing to say, "hey, you can count on me." Additionally, membership is how we, as pastors and elders, know who is under our care! It's hard to shepherd people when you don't even know if this is their home church. Our next membership class is from 3pm to 5pm, on Sunday, November 22, 2026. Childcare will be available.Sign Up Here Generosity Initiative This December, we're inviting our church family to think about generosity beyond finances. How can we use our time, talents, and prayers to make a difference in the lives of others and our own church family? The Three Opportunities outlined below (and prayer) give us practical ways to do just that. Our December giving goal is $183,000 Here's how our financial giving will be directed: First, we'll meet our regular December budget. Then, we'll fund two homes in Nicaragua ($20,000) Any additional giving will go toward our facilities priorities in the order listed One important request as you consider participating: please don't hold back your regular giving now to give more in December. Our ministries depend on consistent support throughout the year. We want December to be about generosity above and beyond, not simply shifting contributions from one month to another. Giving Your generosity makes our work in this city possible. We’re so grateful for you. New to our community? No pressure. Today, just be our guest.More Info on Giving Stay Connected 📩 Subscribe to this Collection to get these updates delivered directly to your inbox. 💬 Pastoral care or questions? Connect with us here.
