THIS Sunday, February 1^st, we will launch Season 1 of our POA Groups for 2026!

POA Groups have become such a major part of our church, as connection & community are indeed strengthening us as a church body.

Following our morning worship service this Sunday, check out the POA Groups Fair that will be happening in the foyer of the main sanctuary.

At the fair, you’ll be able to learn all about the groups that will be available for Season 1 of POA Groups.

We can’t wait to connect with you as you connect through POA Groups!

If you are involved in MESSIAH on any level, don’t miss the MESSIAH Launch Night happening Sunday, February 1^st, at 6:00PM in the Main Sanctuary.

On this night, we’ll celebrate another year of our amazing MESSIAH Easter production. We’ll hear the heart and see the vision from our leaders for MESSIAH, and give a glimpse of what to expect for MESSIAH 2026.

If you’re part of the cast, crew, music, props, costumes, stage design, childcare, parking, first aid, technical, guest services, or any other team, join us for this special night!
