When we go through challenging seasons, it can be difficult to remember and truly believe that God is good. In those seasons, our goal is to be like Abraham, who was even willing to give up his son Isaac, because he knew that God was good. When we learn to trust God and be faithful to him in hard seasons, God raises us up and gives us greater access to his abundant life.

Challenges are a natural part of a faith-filled life. When we face difficult seasons, we can look to the example set by Daniel, who remained faithful to God in Babylon and influenced kings in the process. When we walk through hard times with God, he is at work in us to prepare us for greater things to come.

Our church was founded almost 20 years ago by a group of college students who felt called to seek the presence of God together. Today, we continue their legacy of believing that, if God chooses to show his glory in our lives, we can be radically changed by his presence, and so can everyone around us. Our goal is to persevere in seeking God and to look forward with hope to what he will do in us and through us.
