- Current Series: Insights for Living (Oct. 26-Dec. 14). We’re likely all familiar with the seven deadly sins, but what does it look like to actively live in opposition to those deadly patterns? What does it look like to choose diligence over sloth, humility over pride, kindness over envy? What does resistance to the patterns that dominate our world look like?

International Coffee Hour (Room 18)
- Current Series: So What? (Oct. 26-Dec. 14). In this seven-week series, we will wrestle with the question, “So what?” What difference does it really make to believe in Jesus? Do the claims of Christianity have any practical impact on the way we live, work, make decisions, and relate to others each day? If the gospel is true, it should shape not only what we believe but also how we live — our priorities, our responses to hardship, our use of time and money, our relationships, and even our inner sense of peace and purpose. Throughout this series, we’ll explore what it looks like for faith to move from theory to practice — from Sunday belief to weekday reality — and discover together how the truth of Christ transforms ordinary life from the inside out.
- Past topic: The Alpha Course; Dr. Heather Holleman’s book, The Six Conversations; Pathways to Connecting in an Age of Isolation and Incivility.
