Join us for Sunday Worship at 8:30 or 10:00 AM in person or online. READ MORE

True victories — victories that change things and move the pile — are never without cost.  The road to victory winds through stormy environments, dangerous terrain, and brutal opposition.  This is the road that Jesus traveled on His way back to glory.  Can we follow Him through our own storms and battles, all the way to our glorious victory?
