Speak It
We are called to be a people of listening, loving, and living out our faith. These are vital aspects of our Christian journey. But there's a missing piece, a powerful component that can transform our world; sharing the Gospel. It's not easy. It can be scary. But it's also exhilarating and life-changing. Join us as we explore the power of our words and the impact they can have. Let's discover together how to step out in faith and share the good news with boldness. Are you ready to unlock your potential as a witness for Christ?

On Mission with Jesus
The Book of Acts details the early church's dynamic growth, showcasing ordinary people doing extraordinary things through the Holy Spirit. Over 13 weeks, we'll see the birth of a movement that reshaped the world.
Acts offers more than history; it reflects the Spirit's ongoing work within the church. We'll examine how early  believers faced challenges, built community, and boldly shared the gospel—experiences relevant to us today.
With a dedicated reading plan, we’ll explore the stories of Peter, Paul, and others, learning how the Holy Spirit empowered them and how He can empower us. We’ll find practical ways to apply these lessons to our lives and become effective witnesses for Christ.
Follow along with our sermon series and weekly Prepare for Worship emails for reading assignments. Let’s be inspired by the early church's courage and faith and ignite a fresh wave of God’s Kingdom.
This week’s reading: Chapters 5-6.
