This Advent season, we’re diving into the story of Christ’s coming with something for everyone—adults, youth, and kids! Join us as we prepare our hearts, grow in faith, and celebrate the hope of Christmas together through learning, creativity, and community.

Adults: Dynamic Faith

Facilitated by Dr. Darryl “Husbae” Scriven
The strand running through the season of Advent is dynamic faith. In fact, dynamic faith is the only way we can truly receive what God has done for us through Christ. In this three-week series, we’ll explore how faith differs from mere belief and how dynamic faith comes alive in the stories of Mary (Luke 1:26–38), Joseph (Matthew 1:18–25), and the Wise Men (Matthew 2:1–12). Come ready for fun, interactive learning, and thought-provoking discussion—including some creative, theatrical storytelling along the way!

Youth: A Wandering Journey

Advent invites us to journey toward Bethlehem with intention. This series helps students shift from the season’s usual consumer distractions toward a deeper, more spiritual path. Each week centers on a meaningful theme, guiding youth into the story of the Incarnation. Together, we’ll practice waiting as preparation, connect through shared meals and stories, and discover how to live out God’s hope in everyday life.

Little Kids & Kids: Stories of Angels

Kids are invited to join us for a fun-filled Christmas celebration as we learn all about the angels from the Bible and the special messages they brought about Jesus’ birth! With hands-on crafts, games, and snacks, kids will experience the wonder of the Christmas story in a way they can understand. It’s a joyful time to make new friends and celebrate the true meaning of the Advent season together!

Join us on Wednesday evenings this Lenten season for a time of fellowship, learning, and spiritual growth. The evening begins with an optional, open-house-style dinner, providing an opportunity to connect before we break into age-specific Bible studies. Programs are available for children as young as six months through adulthood, and registration is required.

This year, we’ll explore The Third Day: Living the Resurrection by Tom Berlin. Through compelling storytelling and biblical insight, Berlin brings to life the experiences of those closest to Jesus in his final days. Rather than focusing on loss, this study emphasizes themes of new life and redemption.

Walk alongside Peter, Mary Magdalene, and Thomas as they navigate the sorrow of Jesus’ death and the unexpected joy of his resurrection. We’ll also journey with Paul, the disciples on the road to Emmaus, and others whose lives were transformed by the risen Christ.

Whether you can join us for one night or all five weeks, we welcome you to be part of this meaningful journey toward Easter.
