Current sermon series
The Gospel of Luke: A Story for Sinners and Sufferers
Join us for our new Sunday sermon series “The Gospel of Luke: A Story for Sinners and Sufferers” starting October 24, 2021. As we explore the story of Jesus, we’ll find that Jesus’ story is a story for all of us.
One church, three expressions
A church is not a place but a people in whom Jesus’ grace finds expression. We have the joy of seeing Jesus express His grace in three unique locations.

What we value
The Table
Jesus leverages ordinary moments for extraordinary purposes. So, we value turning our tables into places of grace, community, and mission.
The Towel
Jesus came not to be served but to serve. So, we value serving one another as well as our neighbors both near and far.
The Tourniquet
Our deepest wounds are worship wounds. So, we value the gospel’s ability to bring healing to the deep places of our lives.
The Toast
Life is hard and can be discouraging. So, we value honoring, encouraging, and celebrating evidences of grace in one another’s lives.
