Welcome to

Advent Teaching Series

advent logo

Every year Advent seems to start so early! We've just celebrated Thanksgiving and there are only four short weeks before Christmas comes. So on Sunday, November 30, we start our Advent teaching series: "Defining Joy."

Especially at this time of year, joy is a word that is thrown around a lot. What does it mean? How is it different from happiness? Where does it come from? And how, in these chaotic and difficult times, are we to live with it? Join us as we look to God's Word this Christmas season. Together, we'll take aim at defining joy, that we might indeed be a people who are living out a defining joy in our lives to the glory of Jesus Christ!
