John 21 | Follow Me

We’ve all been there—stuck in the dark, pulling up empty nets, and wondering if we’ve finally reached the end of our rope. When life gets messy or success feels hollow, our natural instinct is to retreat to what we can control. We go back to the ‘old boats’ of our career, our hobbies, or our competence because being ‘good at something’ feels a lot safer than being broken.

This week, we wrap up our Residency series with the most famous fish story ever told. We find Peter back in his old boat, only to encounter a Savior who isn’t looking for a performance review—He’s just cooking breakfast on the shore.

If you’re tired of trying to manage your own soul, come to the fire. It’s time to trade the exhaustion of outcomes for the rhythm of grace.

Join us on Sunday at 9AM  or 11AM.


🎲 Friends Under 50 | Games & Apps Night 🎲

Looking for a fun way to connect with other families and adults? Join the “Under 50” crew this Sunday, April 19, from 6:30–8:00 PM in the Cafe! We’re getting together for a laid-back night of appetizers, games, and great conversation.

Don’t worry about finding a sitter—bring the kids along! They can hang out and play together while the adults catch up and enjoy some friendly competition. Just bring a favorite appetizer or snack to share and get ready for a great evening. See you there!

Take the Next Step | Baptism

Baptism is a powerful, public confession of your identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection (Colossians 2:12). It serves as a beautiful outward symbol of the new life and regeneration we have found through faith in Jesus.

If you have been considering this step—or if you simply have questions about what baptism means—we would love to walk through that with you. Whether you’ve recently begun your walk with Jesus or have been following Him for years and feel it’s finally time to share your story, we want to help you prepare for this milestone.

Interested in learning more? Click the link below to express your interest. A pastor will reach out to have a casual conversation with you, answer your questions, and help you decide if you’re ready to be baptized on April 26.

I’m interested in Baptism!
