Upcoming Sermon Series & Church-wide Lenten Study

11 Feb

Upcoming Sermon Series & Church-wide Lenten Study

Beginning February 14th

The God We Can Know, by Rob Fuquay, is a 7-week study designed to explore the “I Am” sayings of Jesus found in the Gospel of John. This series will help you find and form an answer to an essential question in our Christian faith, “Who do YOU say I am?” One by one, Jesus’ statements grab our imagination, reveal more about His identity and purpose, and connect us to the God of Moses, who spoke the first “I Am.” Experience Jesus in insightful ways that point us to a God who wants to be known.

Please join one of our following classes:
