Our West Senior Pastor, Seth Swindall, continues week nine of our teaching series, Life Lessons. Because we are citizens of heaven, we are invited to live differently: shaped by the way of the cross, strengthened by Christ-centered community, filled with joy, steady in prayer, and renewed in our thoughts.

Our Spiritual Formation Pastor, Angela Ekstrum, continues week eight of our teaching series, Life Lessons. What does it mean to own the life God has given us?
