Sunday Worship Message Series

Sundays | November 16 - 30

When you choose to live a generous life you start to change, and so does the world around you. Something incredible happens when giving becomes our idea and not out of a duty or obligation. When you move from awareness to action, miracles happen. Join us as we learn to follow Jesus’ lead and make giving a lifestyle.
