We Choose

We Choose is our ministry plan—it provides a framework for our church to pursue spiritual health and advance God's Kingdom both within and outside of our local congregations. We believe our mission of making disciples is intertwined with serving our communities at home and the global church.

Forge Winter Weekend Recap

February 13, 2025

This past weekend, 472 high school students as well as 212 leaders, volunteers, and staff from all our campuses gathered for Forge Winter Weekend! Students got to spend time with their small groups doing fun activities, worship together, and learn from God’s Word. This year, the teaching topic was dating. The culture is loud on this topic, and it was a great opportunity for our teachers and leaders to help our students ground their thinking about dating in the truths of Scripture.

Compelling Women | Learning to Pray

February 4, 2025

We all want to grow in our ability to practically live out a gospel-centered life. Compelling Women is an events-based discipleship opportunity for the women at our church to gather, discuss, and practice various topics like prayer, Scripture memorization, relationships, and more. Multiple campuses have been hosting Compelling Women events, following a "learn and do" pattern, where women learn something practical that can develop them in reflecting God's glory.

January 29, 2025

Sharing stories of life change is one way we testify to God's faithfulness in our lives, connect with one another, and strengthen the unity of the church. Over the past few weeks, we've had several members share stories of what God is teaching them. We are thankful for their willingness to be vulnerable, and we pray that God would continue to work in and through their stories.

Over two million people are currently incarcerated in the United States, and of those two million, 95% will be released back into our communities.

Women at Grace Newsletter

December 3, 2024

Did you know our women’s ministry has a bi-monthly newsletter? The Women at Grace newsletter is written by a team of volunteers and staff members who take a big idea and explore it over the course of a year or more. Currently, they are working through the concept of choosing the truth over lies. In each newsletter, we look to Scripture, hear from some of our women, and take time to reflect and apply God’s Word to our lives.
