The Real Church

Radical Love, Shared Life, and Active Faith

What does the early church look like in the Bible? It’s more than a building or a weekly service—it’s a radical community marked by the love of Christ. We see Jesus commanding His disciples love one another just as He loved them, proving their identity to the world. The early church lived this out with one heart and soul, sharing their time, treasure, and talent so that no one among them was in need—united not by perfection, but by great grace and power. But the real church doesn’t stop at words; it challenges us, faith that simply says “go in peace” while ignoring physical needs is dead. Instead, genuine faith acts, gives, and loves until every brother and sister is truly cared for.

True And Better

Seeing Jesus In The Old Testament

What if the Bible isn’t two disconnected books, but one beautiful, unfolding narrative—the story of a God who relentlessly pursues people prone to wandering? From Genesis to Revelation, a single promise echoes through every generation, whispered in the garden and fulfilled in Christ, who is the true and better Adam, David, and Lamb. This is not distant history but a living, breathing narrative that draws us in and leads us home. Join us as we trace the story of Scripture and encounter the true and better hope at the center of it all.

Who Is This Jesus?

Special Guest: Pastor Larry Adams

When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city asked, “Who is this?” This teaching reveals Jesus as the Lord who demands obedience. He is the King who came to die, and the only Savior who solves our greatest problem—sin. He is still actively saving all who call on Him.

“Breakthrough”
In a world that pressures us to compromise, Daniel shows us how prayer becomes a source of courage, wisdom, and spiritual breakthrough. This series explores how Daniel’s unwavering devotion to God shaped his character, guided his decisions, and unlocked God’s power even in impossible circumstances. As we walk through Daniel’s life, we’ll learn how faithful prayer can strengthen our trust in God and bring breakthrough in our own lives.

“Make Room”
This Christmas, reclaim the heart of the season with our holiday series. In a time of endless hustle and crowded schedules, this is your invitation to pause, breathe, and intentionally create space. Discover how, when we clear out the clutter of busyness and distraction to make room for Jesus, we find the Gift we’ve been searching for all along: His life-giving presence meeting us right in the middle of our mess.

“Thank You Letters”
What does it mean to have a joy that can’t be shaken? To be truly thankful, even when life is hard? Join us on a journey through the Apostle Paul’s most personal and joyful letter to the church: Philippians. Written from prison, this book isn’t a desperate plea for help, but a powerful “thank you” note to the people he loved. It’s a profound exploration of where joy is really found. Discover contentment, purpose, the mindset of Christ, and the difference between happiness and a deep, enduring joy. This is your practical guide to a transformed life.

“Ecclesia”
The early church didn’t gather just to feel inspired—they gathered to be formed, filled, and sent. In Acts, we see ordinary people meeting in rooms and courtyards, opening the Scriptures, breaking bread, praying, and sharing what they had. Then they scattered with Spirit-fueled courage into their streets, homes, workplaces, and cities—carrying the Gospel where church buildings could never go. Ecclesia calls us back to that sacred rhythm. We gather to be shaped by Jesus, and we scatter to shine like Him. What God does in the room is meant for the world beyond it.

“Righteousness Exalts A Nation”
Guest speaker, David Barton, is founder of WallBuilders, a national pro-family organization that highlights America’s forgotten history and heroes, with a focus on our moral, religious, and constitutional heritage. This powerful message, drawn from Proverbs 14:34, reminds us that the strength and health of a nation are not built on wealth or power, but on integrity, justice, and alignment with God’s truth. It’s a timely reminder that what exalts a nation — and what strengthens our own lives — is living rightly before God. From the formation of American law and the judicial system to biblically-based economics, science, government, and more, discover how our Founding Fathers used the Bible as a blueprint for America’s freedoms. If ever there was a need to rediscover the vision, passion, and wisdom of those who laid the foundations of our nation, it is now!

“When God Doesn’t”
We all face difficult seasons where we struggle to see clearly and can’t make sense of the hurt around us; we pray, wait, and hope, but if we’re honest, there are times when God seems distant—when He doesn’t bring healing like He does for others or confront the injustice we see so clearly. In those aching moments, where do we turn, what do we hold on to, and how do we keep going? This honest struggle isn’t a story the writers of scripture shy away from—not by a long shot—and neither should we. This series is for anyone with an unanswered “why,” and together we’ll explore what we do when God doesn’t, not with easy answers, but by seeking the faithful presence of a God who meets us in our pain.

“Back To School Sunday”
As students, teachers, coaches, counselors, and admins return to for the next school year, let Daniel’s courage inspire us to shine for God (Daniel 12:3). Like him, we must pursue God’s wisdom, stand firm in faith, and refuse to compromise. In a world that pressures conformity, may we grow in knowledge and faithfulness, letting our light point others to Christ.

“All In”
Everyone wants a life that matters, searching for meaning in work, relationships, and accomplishments — yet something still feels missing. What if the problem isn’t just our desire for purpose, but where we’re looking to find it? In this transformative series from Romans 12, we explore what it truly means to go “All In” with God, surrendering every part of our lives — our minds, hearts, and actions — to His will. Discover how breaking free from the world’s empty promises, embracing radical love, and living in authentic community can lead to a faith that doesn’t just believe but truly transforms.

“Celebration Sunday: Three Ships To Carry The Light”
Join us for our annual meeting as we share the vision of our church. A special message from Pastor Scott, Three Ships to Carry the Light focus each purpose our church is built on: Inspire, Invite, Involve, Include, and Invest. Each reflects a way we shine the light of Christ: through Spirit-filled worship, encouraging community, and faithful service. As we gather, we celebrate who God is, who we are together, and how we’re called to shine bright for His glory to all those around us.
