Philippians 2:19-30 | Joy in Serving Christ First
Before heading out on sabbatical, Caleb will be leaving us with a powerful challenge from what some may consider the most “skippable” part of Philippians. While a list of ancient travel logistics can look like mere filler, this look into the lives of Timothy and Epaphroditus reveals the ultimate blueprint for practical, everyday discipleship. In a world that tells us happiness comes from putting ourselves first, this message reminds us that true fulfillment is found when we flip the script. By holding back our own selfish ambitions and making ourselves available to God, we discover that serving Christ first is what gives us authentic joy in serving others. Turn your Bibles to Philippians 2:19-30 and get ready to dive in with us this Sunday!
Join us Sunday at 9AM or 11AM.

The Equipped Home
Supporting parents as we seek to become more like Jesus in how we think, speak, and act. We are a people committed to empowering the next generation with the tools and resources they need to grow in faith and follow Jesus in every rhythm of family life.
Family Sunday
We’re trying something new and exciting next Sunday, June 7! We are hosting our very first Family Sunday, a special morning where we’ll come together as one big church family to celebrate the incredible week we had at VBS.
For this Sunday, all students from Preschool (age 4) through 4th grade will be joining us in the worship centre for the entire service. We are so excited to have our kids worshiping right alongside their families! This also gives our amazing Kids Ministry volunteers—who serve so faithfully every week—a well-deserved chance to sit in the sanctuary, recharge, and worship with the rest of the congregation.
Just a heads-up: While the older kids are in the service with us, we will still have childcare available for our nursery-aged kiddos (ages 3 & under) during both gatherings. Grab the whole family and join us as we try out this new way of gathering together!
Child Dedication Sunday
As a special part of our Family Sunday celebration, we are hosting a Child Dedication! This is a beautiful moment for parents to publicly commit to raising their children in a Christ-centered home and for us, as a church family, to commit to walking alongside you and supporting you.
Because the whole family will be together in the sanctuary that morning, we can’t think of a better time to celebrate the next generation! Whether you have a newborn or an older child you would like to dedicate, we would be honored to share this milestone with you.

🏛️ VBS 2026 | Sign-Up TODAY! 🏛️
We are just a few days away from stepping into the “underground church” for VBS, and we can’t wait to have you join us! From May 31 – June 4 (6:00–8:00 PM), we’ll be exploring ancient Rome with secret songs, marketplace snacks, and life-changing faith.
Don’t let a busy schedule keep you away—even if your kids can’t make it every single evening, we would still love to have them there for the nights they can attend! Registration is open for both kids and volunteers, and we are still looking for a few more friendly faces to join our volunteer team. Sign up today and help us end the week with a bang at our Closing Carnival on Thursday, June 4!
