GIVE
God is the greatest giver. He gave His Son, Jesus, for our salvation. When we offer our time, talent, prayers, possessions, and finances, we are actively worshiping and acknowledging that everything comes from Him. Your gifts empower our mission to share the hope of Jesus, serve our neighbors, and strengthen our community.
Gospel Shaped Home Questions
As Pastor Eric teaches on The Gospel-Shaped Home, the sermons will not cover every situation and topic. So, if you have a question that you’d like Pastor Eric and his wife Heather to answer, please send it in. Each week, they will answer a few of the top questions in a short video shared on social media and through email. It’s a great way to stay connected and lean in a little more to what we’re learning together.
