We are growing together.

    Sermons & Resources

    We want to equip you with thoughtful resources for every stage of life and faith. Whether you are revisiting a sermon series, looking for guidance in a specific season, or exploring tools for parenting, prayer, or spiritual growth, this ever-evolving collection is here to support you. Our hope is that these resources do not overwhelm, but come alongside you as you keep saying yes to Jesus in the everyday.


    Below you will periodically find books, podcasts, and articles mentioned during sermons, along with resources Pastor Curtis shares to help you dig deeper and keep learning throughout the week. Our desire is to make it easy for you to keep growing and to stay connected to what God is doing in your life.
