Every week we hear powerful theological words in our songs, prayers, and sermons, yet oftentimes we aren’t quite sure what they all mean or how they shape our daily lives.
In this 5-week series, “Words That Define Us”, we will unpack five foundational words that define who we are as followers of Jesus, selected by you (via online poll during the month of March)! This series is designed to move us from confusion to clarity and from head knowledge to heart transformation. Whether you’re new to faith or have been in church for years, you’ll leave each week with a deeper understanding of God’s work in your life and a stronger identity in Christ.
Join us as we explore the words that define us—and the God who defines them all.

This season invites you to reflect deeply on your own spiritual journey, confronting sin’s grip and embracing hope through repentance, prayer, and acts of love, as we prepare for the joy of Easter.
“Afterward Jesus went up on a mountain and called out the ones he wanted to go with him. And they came to him.” (Mark 3:13, NLT)
In the gospel of John, the theme of light is one of the many ideas that can be traced throughout its message: light that gives life; light that provides direction; light that heals and transforms, and even brings judgment! But light is never meant to be understood as photons traveling through physical space and time, but a uniquely divine-human person who came from heaven to earth. That person is the reason we celebrate Christmas at all.
In the early days of the Methodist movement, John Wesley provided his “helpers” (lay preachers who traveled around to preach and spread the movement) a list of 12 rules to follow.
