\"\"Join us for our 2026 spring revival “Open Our Eyes” with Dr. Steve McGuire, May 17-20. This is our annual event where we set time apart as the body of Christ to allow the Holy Spirit to refresh, renew, and revive. Bring your family and friends for this exciting time of seeking God together as the body of Christ!<\/p>\n

Most of us live our lives based on what we can see, touch, and measure. But what happens when God peels back the curtain? True revival begins when we stop looking at our problems and start seeing our King. From Isaiah\u2019s breathtaking vision of the throne room to Jesus\u2019 personal invitation to “come and see,” this series is a journey of spiritual awakening. We will pray with the Apostle Paul that the “eyes of our hearts” would be enlightened\u2014moving us past religious routine and into a life-changing sight of God\u2019s hope, His riches, and His incomparable power.<\/p>\n
