I Am Who I Am (Worship Center)
What do you believe about the character of God? And why? More importantly, what is our God actually like? Join us as we dive into the portrait of our God in the Bible, examine our own beliefs about who He is, and (re)discover the complex and yet profound identity of the one we call Lord.

Prodigal God (Room 1)
In this Bible study, pastor and bestselling author Timothy Keller uses one of Jesus' best-loved parables- the Prodigal Son- to illustrate the depth of God's love and how his grace extends into some very unexpected places.
Taking you beyond the traditional focus on the wayward younger son, Keller helps you glean insights from each of the characters in Jesus' parable: the irreligious younger son, the moralistic elder son, and the Father who lavishes his love on both. Inside this guide, you'll explore questions from group discussion and personal reflection, and exercises that will help you experience the truths of Jesus' parable in your own life. The gospel is neither religion nor irreligion, but something else entirely. Whether you're a devout believer or a skeptic, The Prodigal God will challenge you to see Christianity in a whole new way.

Sunday service is available via live stream at 8:30 & 11am.
