NEW BIBLE STUDY: ALPHA SERIES | EXPLORE FAITH. ASK QUESTIONS. FIND COMMUNITY.
You’re invited to a new bible study class beginning on Thursday, April 16th at 10:30 AM and 6:30 PM. Looking for a place to ask questions and explore faith? Alpha is a casual, welcoming series where you can talk about life, faith, and meaning in a relaxed setting. Come as you are—no pressure, no expectations.
Whether you’re new to church, returning after time away, or simply curious, Alpha is for you.
You can explore life’s big questions—about faith, meaning, and purpose. Each session includes a short video, followed by open, honest conversation where no question is off-limits.
Join us for Alpha—a relaxed and welcoming space to talk about life, faith, and everything in between. Bring a friend or come on your own.
FOOD PACKING EVENT FOR MEALS OF HOPE WAS A HUGE SUCCESS!
On March 12th, nearly 90 people from across our communities came together in the Life Center for a meaningful and high-energy food packing event. Working side by side, volunteers packed an incredible 32,076 oatmeal breakfasts in just two hours!
We were excited to learn that all of these meals will be distributed throughout Collier County—and that they were gone within the week, helping meet a real and immediate need in our area.
A special thank you goes out to everyone who stayed afterward to help with cleanup—putting equipment away, disposing of trash, and vacuuming the space. Your extra effort made a big difference and helped wrap up the event smoothly.
Thank you to everyone who participated and made this event such a powerful example of service and community in action!
THEOLOGY ON TAP WAS A BLAST!
Our first Theology on Tap was a wonderful evening of fellowship as we gathered and enjoyed time together. We had an open and thoughtful conversation about death, sharing perspectives and growing in our faith.
We invite you to join us on the first Thursday of each month for meaningful discussion and community.
