It’s just a storm. You’ll get through it. What can I learn from this season?" — Annette Ward
Facing Stage 3 cancer didn't stop Annette Ward from serving others. Through six grueling rounds of chemo, she kept walking into the jail to encourage her clients. Now, she's taking on a 343-mile bike ride to honor first responders fighting their own battles with trauma and illness. Join us for Part 4 of Riding Different: Kingdom Leadership at Full Speed—an inspiring experience exploring what it means to lead with courage on life's steepest hills.

Welcome to Week 3 of our worship series, Ride Different! 🚴♂️✨
In professional cycling, the domestique is the rider who willingly takes the wind, carries the water, and serves the team so everyone makes it across the finish line. Today, we sit down with parishioner and author Phil Holloway to talk about a lifetime of service—from Congress and FEMA to 55 years in the choir—and his brand-new 365-day devotional book, Wonderful Words of Wisdom: 365 Days of Inspiration. Plus, as school kicks back into gear, we pause to pray over our students, families, teachers, and school workers for the year ahead!

What happens when you execute every strategy, do everything right, and still hit an unexpected patch of loose gravel on the road of life?
In Part 2 of the "Riding Different" series, we take a look at how to navigate the unpredictable turns of leadership, family, and faith. Moving between the 30-mph intensity of the Tour de France and a quiet 2-mph walk with a 20-month-old granddaughter in a French park, this message unpacks how Kingdom leaders handle crashes, build lasting legacy, and adopt the servant mindset of a domestique.

We're diving into a powerful new perspective shift with "Riding Different: Kingdom Leadership at Full Speed."
Forget slow-burn leadership. In this talk, we unpack a dynamic model of leadership that operates with the urgency, passion, and collaborative strength of a professional cycling team. We use the world's toughest races as the ultimate metaphor for the challenges and triumphs of Kingdom-focused leadership.

Has the stress of daily life stolen your smile? Welcome to the Grand Finale of Book Club! 📖🎈
As the summer wraps up, cultural burnout is real. Between hectic schedules, running on the daily hamster wheel, and endless distractions, it is incredibly easy to feel entirely drained. Today, for our final installment of Book Club we are breaking out of that exhaustion.
In this finale, a celebrated musical artist and pastor delivers a life-giving message on reclaiming the joy you’ve been missing. There is a massive difference between temporary happiness and supernatural, biblical joy. Happiness depends on your circumstances going perfectly, but joy is the unshakeable confidence that God is good even when life is hard. If you are ready to trade your worry for worship and step into true purpose, this is the message you've been waiting for.

Tired of compromising? It’s time to build some serious holy grit. Welcome to Week 3 of Book Club! 📖⚡️
We are past the midway point of summer, and it is easy to let our spiritual routines drift. Today we are bringing a message with some serious backbone.
This week’s featured speaker actually has a deep history with our pastor—they met all the way back in 2005 as youth pastors in the Purpose Driven Youth Ministry program championed by Doug Fields! Today, he steps up to deliver an urgent, no-apologies rallying cry for spiritual maturity and biblical responsibility. We live in a culture that constantly pressures us to bow, back down, and drift with the crowd. This message is your challenge to stand firm on the solid rock of truth and lead your family, your business, and your life with conviction over comfort.

Stuck in the waiting room of life? Welcome to Week 2 of our brand-new series, Book Club! 📖✨
Summer is in full swing, and while the days are fast, sometimes our personal lives can feel completely on pause. Today, we are continuing our 4-part series. In this week's message, a powerhouse author and speaker delivers a perspective shift on what to do when God says "wait." If you are currently waiting on an answer to prayer, a career breakthrough, or a restored relationship, it is incredibly easy to feel frustrated by the "slow burn." But you are about to discover that the waiting room is not a wasted room—it's exactly where God does His deepest, most refining work to prepare you for what's next.

Some of our most profound spiritual growth happens when we step outside of our usual routine and listen to someone else’s story.
Kickstarting our 4-part Book Club series—in partnership with the Life.Church Open Network—this message features a globally recognized leadership expert delivering a vital truth: You are entirely one decision away from a different ending.
Our legacy—whether in our homes, our businesses, or our nation—is defined by our intentional choices, not our accidental circumstances. If you have been feeling stuck, stagnant, or simply coasting through life, this message provides a biblical framework to stop drifting and start choosing a trajectory aligned with God's truth.
🎙️ The Deeper Dive (Podcast Tie-In)
This weekend's message serves as the perfect runway for a broader conversation happening in our community following the 4th of July weekend. Make sure to check out the latest episode of our Heartfelt Mornings podcast on the website, where we dive into modern presidential leadership (looking at the cultural megaphones of Reagan, Bush, and Trump). We address a critical pastoral question: Have we hitched our patriotism to an election cycle—and have we traded a genuine love for our neighbors for political combat? --- The Spiritual Standard of America – Part 2
