River Family, There are moments in life (well, all of them really, but) when you can only stand in awe of the goodness and faithfulness of God. Ashley and I experienced one of those moments this week. After many months of prayers, waiting, no children, 2 children, loss, uncertainty, court hearings, and trusting the Lord one… Read More »

But…we have a very special guest coming to baptize! Pastor Josh Light from FBC is coming over to baptize Zane Lagunas — and we can’t wait for you to hear… Read More »

Hey Church! Every once in a while, God invites His people into something that is bigger than a building, bigger than a project, and even bigger than a financial goal. He invites us to become part of a story that will outlive us. I believe Make Room is one of those moments. When we read Scripture, we… Read More »

This Mother’s Day, we honor and celebrate all who nurture, love, and care for others. But… We also want to name the… Read More »

Church! Our scripture this past Sunday was so powerful. Galatians 4:1–7 reminds us of something easy to forget in the middle of real-time everyday life: We are no longer slaves. We are sons and daughters. There was a time when we lived like heirs who didn’t know who we were. We carried burdens we were… Read More »

Church Family, One of the things I love most about being your pastor is getting to watch God work in your lives. I get to see quiet acts of faith that most people never notice. I see people serve when no one is watching. I see prayers prayed through laughter and tears, generosity that costs… Read More »

Hey Church! A few important things…. Easter is coming! Can you believe it? We will be printing banners, making a video, and spreading the word online. People choose to fight way too much over things they can’t control, change or even comprehend. Will you join us in the fight FOR people’s souls as we INVITE INVITE INVITE people to… Read More »
