Explore which of these four different groups will best help you grow in your faith
LifeGroups will kick off the week of February 18. We will have several options for you to choose. Groups will follow our Matthew Series. During each of the 6-7 weeks, groups will watch excerpts directly from the Gospel of Matthew and then discuss five questions together. This is a great opportunity to invite friends and family who may be curious about Jesus or Scripture. Want to lead a LifeGroup? Click here.
Rooted is a discipleship journey where you will experience life transformation. This 10-week journey will lead you into seven disciplines that will grow your faith. Learn more and sign up here.
GriefShare is for those who are suffering and managing their pain from loss. Life gets complicated when we lose a loved one, a dream, an opportunity, or a relationship. The people in GriefShare want to come alongside you. GriefShare begins Jan 22. Sign up here.
Do you have a habit or a hangup in life that you just cannot overcome? Celebrate Recovery will give you the tools you need to live in the freedom God’s given you through Jesus Christ. This community is celebrating their lives of freedom together and want to come alongside you so your story can become a freedom story. Learn more here.
We will have GroupLink on January 28 & February 4. Group leaders from all the groups above will be available at the end of each service to answer your questions and get you connected to their group.

Our journey to build an Unshakeable Faith and Release Gods Unshakeable Love has taught us this:
Spiritual maturity is having a healthy relationship with God, myself, and others.
(Becoming Emotionally Healthy)
Jesus told stories that are keys to the kingdom of God.
(The Storyteller: Gospel of Luke)
Waste the haste: learn Jesus' unforced rhythms of life.
(Waste the Haste)
We receive and we advance the Unshakeable Kingdom of God’s righteousness, peace, and joy.
(Unshakeable Kingdom)
Father, may I stand in Christ’s righteousness. May that give me the strength and courage to live rightly and do what is just. Give me a peace because I trust that You are always with me no matter what I face and may I be a peacemaker. Give me a joy that comes from knowing that my identity is in Jesus and make my joy complete as I honor You in everything I think, say, and do
Read and pray scripture daily.
Sabbath with the Body of Christ weekly.
Have a meaningful face-to-face conversation
with a friend or group of friends weekly.
We are now offering Family Counseling for marriages, parenting, grief, depression, anxiety, abuse, addiction, and more.

Ladies, do not let fear stop you from joining a community of women who are learning how being perfectly loved leads to being FEARLESS. I don' t want you to miss out on being a part of this experience with other women focused on following Jesus.
Join us in 22 days of fasting, prayer, and scripture beginning on January 3. Start this year in a bold way.
As you pray about what God may be asking you to fast, will you prayerfully consider going dark on social media by fasting Facebook, instagram, Snapchat, or Tictok for 22 days? I believe as we go dark on social media, God’s light will bring new life to our souls. You may consider fasting other things, like a meal, a food group, or a favorite beverage.
As you fast, I want to encourage you that fasting is just as much influenced by what you put into your life as it is influenced by what you give up. During this time we will be adding prayer. As you pray, I want to challenge you to pray a bold prayer with us as a church family: "Father, where are you at work in me and around me and how can I join you there?" We also have several Bible reading plans you can join in these 22 days to see God's truth transform you from the inside out.
There has been a Psalm that has been transformational in me this past year.
"Fear the Lord, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing.
The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing."
Psalm 34:9-10
Did you catch that those who pursue God lack nothing and lack no good thing. When we pursue God, we get Him. When you have Jesus you have everything you need. We believe God will do something amazing in you and through you as we seek God through these 22 days. We are praying for God to do something great in us and through us in 2022 according to His power that is at work within us as we continue to be on mission together, loving Jesus, becoming like Jesus, and sharing Jesus.
Happy New Year!

Did you miss Sunday’s teaching? If so, please go back an watch it. This message was for those who are losing their trust in scripture, have lost their trust in scripture, or know someone who has lost their faith because of something that was said in or about the Bible.
In light of the holiday weekend and the number of leaders required to make Sunday amazing, we will not have KiDS and Student services on July 4th. We want to thank all our leaders who serve so faithfully throughout the year and we look forward to being with you all together in our services.
This fall, our groups will focus on helping singles build stronger relationships and helping couples build stronger marriages. These groups will kick-off in September with a series called, "No Days Off: Parenting for the Win." For those of you who would like to lead a singles group or a couples group in your home or business, sign up for a Group Leader's meeting on June 27 or July 18.

You can turn your home into a hub for discipleship in mission by participating in one or all of these ways:
1. Who's your one?
2. Join us in a 40 day Bible.is Listening Plan at https://bible.is (Book of Mark).
3. Host or join your family and friends for a watch party to watch the Gospel of Mark over 6 weeks.
4. Gather with us every Sunday online or onsite.
Don't say "good riddance" to 2020 without reflecting on how God's grace made you stronger through it. Because, God did get you through all the pain and trouble you may have faced.
As we turn the page and move into 2021, we want to rally around you and your family. Here are some ways we want to equip you to turn your home into a hub for discipleship and mission.
Join Pastor Kasey in a One Year Bible reading plan or choose a plan that fits your needs. Regularly reading your Bible is a spiritual habit that can transform your life.
We want to equip you to have a stronger marriage in 2021. Our Alpha Marriage Course will give you the biblical tools to build your faith so your marriage is stronger together. Sign up for this Zoom gathering that begins on January 7.
In February, we will begin a new series called "ONE KC" with 300 hundred churches in the Kansas City metro. Will you host a "Watch Party" as we watch the Gospel of Mark on video? You can invite your friends, family, and neighbors to join you in your home to watch this amazing video of the book of Mark over 6 weeks. We are praying that 3000 people come to know Jesus through this all city initiative and you can play a big part by hosting a watch party.
I am so grateful to be on mission together with you loving Jesus, becoming like Jesus, and sharing Jesus. I can't wait to see how God changes you, your marriage, your family, and your neighborhood this year.
Happy New Year!
