As we head into the Christmas season, we’re kicking off a brand-new series
called “the gift.” We unpack one of the most incredible gifts we could ever
receive — the gift of being adopted into God’s family. It’s a place where
we discover real love, deep security, true belonging, and a grounded sense
of identity.

freedom | Stanley Ross
Stanley continues our new exodus series, highlighting that we are in
journey mode as a church family. Focusing on the freedom that God brought
