Suggested Music
We maintain a weekly playlist including publicly available versions of upcoming congregational worship songs, songs related to the coming Sunday's sermon/bible passages, and occasional songs that we'll be introducing soon to the church. You will find this playlist on both Spotify and Amazon Music. Let us know if your music service is not included, and we will try to get it added.
Suggested Podcasts
A podcast is similar to on-demand talk radio. You can pick both the show & the episode you want to listen to. With podcast listening, you also have the choice to chose the streaming application you want to listen through. We are linking to some of our favorite podcasts. Please note: we might not agree with every view represented here, but we do pray that you find these podcasts to be challenging, edifying, & a benefit to your Christian walk.

TEEN CAMP
Theme: LEVEL UP!
Verse: “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.” James 4:10
We often think of spiritual growth as production and miss the fact that growth in the Christian life starts with and is dependent upon God’s work more than our effort. We think the answer is to work hard, to become disciplined, to fight when to level up, we must first become less. This isn’t easy and doesn’t come naturally.
This summer we will walk through James 4 and look at the attitudes with which we pursue a life of spiritual discipline in Christ. As believers, we are to take the posture of:
SACRIFICE: Contentment in Christ
SUBMISSION: Submission to God
SELFLESSNESS: Unity with Others
SURRENDER: Surrender to the Lord
