Despite life's challenges and our own shortcomings, God's love remains unwavering.

    Elijah in the Time of COVID

    Bill Johnson

    by Bill Johnson

    Shepherd

    Elijah’s ministry is a message of repentance. It is a call to God’s people to turn back to God, to submit to God’s plan to turn their hearts back again to Him. The repentance Elijah preaches is not simply a decision of the mind, it is an authentic turning of one’s heart. When our hearts are turned, we are ready to embrace God.

    Justin Kuhn

    by Justin Kuhn

    Youth and Worship Minister

    We're not meant to be "fixers" (which is how our society works), we're meant to be in relationship. And relationship means things like empathy, validation, listening - simply being WITH people. Which is hardest when that involves pain. And it's hardest when we can't fix it.
