WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
We Worship Together as Families
We have no separate programs during worship. We believe Scripture is sufficient for teaching all ages where Christ is the focus. Families worship together, grow together.
The Whole Bible
We are intentional about being faithful to the entire Bible. We will not neglect any part or unduly elevate any part over the rest. Both Old and New Testaments shape our teaching.
The Whole Family of God
We don’t have a key demographic. Entire households worship together. Male and female, young and old, married and single. All are valued and loved for who they are in Christ.
The Gospel in Everything
The gospel is for believers and unbelievers alike. It is the truth of first importance and deserves continual attention. We include it in everything because it changes everything.
Equipped to Serve
We seek to edify, exhort, and equip believers rather than settling for entertaining them. We encourage those who trust in Christ to deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Him.
LATEST SERMON
Abound
1 Thessalonians 4:1_12 — August 23, 2026 — Pastor Joe Kohler
In 1 Thessalonians 4:1-12, Paul tells believers who are already doing well that God’s will for them is not to plateau but to abound. Sanctification isn’t a finish line we cross; it’s a lifelong pursuit of Christlikeness empowered by the Holy Spirit. Whether it’s sexual purity, love for one another, or the ambition to live a quiet and faithful life, the call is the same: excel still more. The believer who abounds in what God has revealed is best positioned to discern His will where He hasn’t spoken.

Our Glory and Joy
What are you chasing? Not the Sunday school answer. Not what you think you should be chasing. What actually occupies the majority of your time, your thoughts, your energy? And here’s the harder follow-up: if you caught it tomorrow, would it satisfy? Nearly 3,000 years ago, Solomon cataloged the things people tend to pursue. Education,…
The Word at Work – 1 Thessalonians 2:1–16
When I was a kid, my doctor’s office gave me an unfortunate nickname: the Rash Boy. Camping trips, climbing trees, even medicine itself. It didn’t matter what it was. If there was something to react to, I reacted. My friends would do the same things and walk away fine. I’d break out in hives. I…
Still Ringing – 1 Thessalonians 1:1–10
On February 17, 1739, George Whitefield did something controversial. He walked out of the church building and preached the gospel in the open air to a group of coal miners in Kingswood, England. These weren’t church people. They had a reputation for violence, foul language, and rough living. No minister wanted anything to do with…
Come as You Are and Worship the Living God with Us
We understand that visiting a new church can feel uncertain. We’re a little different — no separate kids’ programs during worship, no performance, just families gathering around God’s Word together. Read more about what to expect, or just show up Sunday morning.
