What's Happening Today

We have Pre-Service Prayer every Sunday from 9:20 to 9:40 am in the library. This is a time to pray for the morning service, including the worship, the sermon, and the life of our church. Everyone is welcome, and all ages are invited. Join us as we prepare our hearts and commit the service to the Lord together.

High School CE Unshaken is about discovering what happens when you stop building your identity on things that constantly change and start building your life on Someone who doesn’t. Ken Yuki and Pastor Sam will be teaching this course every Sunday in Room 306 from 11:15-12:15 pm.

Adult CE class will be today, September 27th, after service in Room 308. We will go through a series of individual classes that address common questions and topics relevant to Christians today. The topic will be Finding Margin: Unhurried Worship Rhythms for Busy Lives.

The Connection Table
Each Sunday, special tables will be reserved in the gym as a relaxed, welcoming space for anyone to meet others, build friendships, and grow together in community. Whether you’re new or have been attending for some time, we invite you to join us for fellowship and conversation.
If you are new, we encourage you to first stop by the Newcomers Welcome Booth to receive a special welcome gift, then come by the Connection Table to connect with others.
We look forward to getting to know you and helping everyone feel at home!
