WEDNESDAYS TOGETHER:
A Journey Through the Parables

Wednesdays, Sep 9-Oct 7 | 6:30-8pm | Adults | The Worship Center

Join us for five impactful Wednesday evenings as our church family gathers to explore the Parables of Jesus. Through worship, biblical teaching, prayer, and fellowship, we’ll deepen our understanding of God’s Word and discover how His truth shapes our lives.

This all-church experience invites adults, children, and students (K–12) to journey through the same Bible passages together in age-appropriate settings. Adults will meet in the Worship Center, while kids and students will be studying the same parables in their youth groups. (Please note: childcare for infants and toddlers will not be available.)
