  • Join us for Lent: The Wandering Heart

    This Lent, we follow Peter’s journey, watching the story of Jesus unfold through the eyes of a very normal human trying to figure it all out—just like us. Wander with us in worship on Sundays at 10 AM and Tuesday evening devotionals on Facebook Live and Zoom.
