Welcome! We're a small church doing BIG things with the help of God!
We believe that God loves, values and embraces each person as a beloved child. Therefore, we welcome people of every age, size, color, culture, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, ability and challenge. We welcome people from all faith traditions, those with doubts, and those with no sense of faith at all. We also commit ourselves to the pursuit of environmental, economic, social and racial justice.
Our mission is to meet God, practice community, serve Christ and live generously!
Time to clean the church and spruce up the grounds. Please join us on April 26th from 9AM to 1pm. Lunch will be provided.
Saved From the Grave
What do you do when God feels late?
In John 11, Mary and Martha send for Jesus as their brother Lazarus lies dying. They believe he will come. They believe he will heal.
But he doesn’t.
By the time Jesus arrives, Lazarus has been in the grave four days—beyond hope, beyond help, beyond anything they imagined God might still do.
We know this place.
The place where prayers didn’t turn out the way we hoped.
The place where something we loved has come to an end.
The place where we have sealed the stone and tried to move on.
And yet, Jesus stands at the edge of the tomb and says, “Take away the stone.”
This episode explores what it means to trust God in the waiting, to face what we’ve buried, and to hear Jesus still calling us—by name—out of fear, despair, and everything that has held us bound.
Because the fourth day is not the end.
The grave does not get the last word.
Jesus does.
Come out… and live.
The world feels tense right now. There is a lot of collective anxiety in the air. Nations thirst for security. People thirst for certainty.
And thirst is a powerful thing. When human beings are thirsty enough, we will cross great distances for water. We will dig deep wells. We will build entire civilizations around rivers and springs.
But the truth is—we are not only thirsty for water.
We are thirsty for safety. For belonging. For a place where we don’t have to live in fear of the people on the other side of the line.
That’s the world Jesus walked into. A world full of lines—between Jews and Samaritans, men and women, clean and unclean, insiders and outsiders. And yet John’s Gospel says something surprising about Jesus’ journey that day.
It says, “He had to go through Samaria.”
Not because of geography. Because of mission.
So Jesus walks straight into the place his own people avoided. He sits beside a well. And there, in the heat of the day, he begins a conversation that will change everything—about thirst, about grace, and about the living water God still offers the world.
