Church would be easier if everybody liked the same music.

It would also be a lot less interesting.

On Sunday mornings, I look around and see people who grew up singing hymns next to people who didn’t grow up in church at all. I see grandparents, young families, people who have been here for decades, and people who are still learning everyone’s names.

Some love the organ. Some love the guitar. Some know every word. Some are still trying to figure out what page we’re on.

And somehow, we worship together.

I think that’s part of what makes church beautiful.

We don’t have the same history. We don’t have the same taste. We’re not even all in the same season of life.

But we are learning to sing together, pray together, laugh together, grieve together, and follow Jesus together.

The church isn’t supposed to be a room full of people who are exactly like us.

It’s supposed to be a family.

And families are wonderfully complicated.

What do you love most about worshiping with people from a different generation than your own?

There’s something special about welcoming new members into the life of the church.

These aren’t simply names being added to a roll. They are people choosing to worship with us, grow with us, serve with us, and share life with us.

This Sunday, we had the joy of saying, “You belong here.”

We’re grateful for each person God continues to bring into our church family, and we’re excited to see how their gifts, stories, questions, and faith will become part of our shared life together.

Welcome home. We’re glad you’re here.

Every room you enter, you bring something. Your tone, attitude, words, and energy all shape the space. You're either making the environment heavier or lighter, providing lubrication for smooth interactions or friction that stops things dead. What are you really bringing? Does your presence make people feel comfortable sharing their truth, or does it cause them to shut down?

Discover the transformative power of kindness through three powerful biblical stories: Zacchaeus, the Samaritan woman, and Peter. See how Jesus' compassion changed lives and led to repentance and redemption.

10/05/2026

Anger, moodiness, and the silent treatment rarely lead to repentance. Scripture reveals Jesus's teaching: 'Kindness' is what guides us back to Him and closer to Christ. True kindness originates from abiding in Christ's character, allowing us to exude His attributes and the fruits of the Spirit.

It's easy to want to lash out when you receive a difficult message. But the true strength lies in choosing kindness, even when it's hard. Let's aim for grace.

10/04/2026

Being kind is easy until someone gives you a reason not to be.

The sharp email. The rude comment. The conversation you’ve been avoiding. How do you do what’s right without tearing someone down?

Join Pastor Mike Killeen for “A Taste of Goodness,” this week’s message in The Produce Section. We’ll explore how staying close to Jesus grows kindness and goodness in our everyday relationships. We’ll also share Communion.

It's the sense of community that makes our school truly special. From the moment you walk in, you feel like part of a family. Teachers greet everyone, nurturing relationships with students, parents, and the wider church community. Their genuine love for the children is palpable.

When you stay close to Jesus, you take on His aroma. This peace and patience become a fragrance you carry, transforming anxious or chaotic environments. Your calm presence can diffuse tension and inspire hope, impacting those around you.

True spiritual fruit isn't produced by trying harder, but by abiding. Drawing closer to Jesus through prayer, His Word, and community is the key. Let Him cultivate the fruit within you.
