Last Week’s Sermon

In the Beginning Was…Jesus

Sermon from: Pastor Jared Priset

December 1st 2024

Focus: In John 1:1-14, we read about our God, who did not stay distant, but who lived as God’s ultimate message for us, bringing light into the darkness, offering us grace and truth, and inviting us into His family.

EXPLORE

We have several places within the Church for you and your family

to explore the word of God and grow in your faith.

“We always had excuses why we could not participate in something at the church. We were flawed like Peter felt with Jesus. We understand now that Jesus was working through Pastor Bryan to get us out of our comfort zone.”
