Dear Church: The Letters to the Seven Churches
Revelation begins with Jesus speaking to His Church. In seven letters to seven churches, Christ encourages faithfulness, confronts compromise, and calls His people to repentance, endurance, and hope. As we listen to what the Spirit is saying, we are invited to renew our devotion to Christ and shine faithfully in a watching world. This Rev. Kate Norten takes a look at Smyrna and Pergamum.

Alpha: Five Big Questions
Join us on Mondays beginning February 2 at 6:30pm as we explore some of life’s deepest questions together. You are invited to listen, reflect, and speak freely without pressure or judgment. Through thoughtfully crafted videos and discussions, we consider enduring questions of faith—Who is Jesus? Why do we pray? What does it mean to believe?—not merely as ideas to examine, but as invitations to encounter truth, hope, and God’s presence within a shared journey. Alpha Sign-Up
