Teaching

Welcome to the Teaching page.

Current Teaching Series (starting July 12) - Check out STORYLINE: Making Sense of Our Reality, which is a multi-month exploration of the biblical story. Every one of us is trying to make sense of life. Why are we here? Why is there beauty and brokenness? Why do we long for something more? Is history headed anywhere? And where do I fit into all of it?

Whether we realize it or not, we all interpret life through a story. The stories we believe shape how we see ourselves, other people, our purpose, and our future.

The Bible is far more than a collection of inspiring stories, moral lessons, or ancient writings. It is one grand, unified Story—God's Story. From before creation to the new creation, from a garden to an empty tomb and an eternal kingdom, Scripture reveals God's relentless plan to rescue, restore, and reign over His creation through Jesus Christ.

Storyline is a journey through that Story.

Together, we'll discover how key persons, encounters, and events point to God's unfolding plan. Along the way, we'll see that the Bible doesn't merely tell us what happened—it explains why the world is the way it is, what God is doing now, and where history is ultimately headed.

Most importantly, we'll discover that this isn't just God's Story. It's the Story that makes sense of our story.

Whether you're new to the Bible or have been reading it for years, Storyline will help you see Scripture as one beautiful, coherent narrative that invites every one of us to find our place in God's ongoing work of redemption.

Welcome to Storyline.
