this is us

This Is Us is a 7-week teaching series designed to help us rediscover who we are—and who we're becoming—together. These aren’t just church values printed on a wall; they’re the shared identity we live out as a spiritual family. Each week, we’ll explore a core value that shapes our life together in Christ, from Biblical Truth to Worship. As we begin a new year, this series invites you into a deeper sense of belonging, purpose, and transformation—because spiritual growth doesn’t happen alone. It happens in community, and it happens here.

Rooted in TRUTH [Part 1]

Pastor Chris Voigt

January 4, 2026

What is your life really built on? In this message from our This Is Us series, we explore the value of Biblical Truth and why it matters for everyday life and faith. Jesus teaches that hearing His words isn’t enough—we must build our lives on them. Together, we discover how God’s Word forms us, anchors us, and shapes who we are becoming as a community rooted in His truth.

"Have you ever heard of grace?" That's the question a friend of mine received from a frustrated parent. She was working in Christian higher ed, overseeing a community service program - the completion of which was a requirement for students to walk at graduation and receive their diplomas. This particular student had not completed the requirement and had lied about it, and been caught. So, no pomp and circumstance for him - or his disappointed parents. But it begs the question... what is grace? Would grace give him a pass or hold him accountable?

We're in week 2 of our first sermon series of 2026: This Is Us. Over the next several weeks, we're going to unpack the values that we believe in and endeavor to live out as a church. This week we're taking a look at grace. Do you know what it is? And what it isn't? In order to live out any value, you have to understand it.

Always Growing. Together. [Part 3]

We're taking the first few weeks of 2026 to remind ourselves of who we are as a church family. Because being a family is about more than just hanging out together once or twice a week. Being part of a family is about belonging and becoming; about shared values that define who we are. This week we're unpacking our value of Spiritual Growth.

This is week 3 of our series: This Is Us. We live in a very self-centered, individualistic culture. But Jesus talked about the Church as His body - one whole, made up of many parts. Just as your hand or big toe wouldn't function effectively (or... at all!) if it were disconnected from your physical body, there's no option for going it alone - disconnected from other believers - in your journey as a Christ-follower. This is an adventure that we take together.

No Ordinary Moments [Part 4]

January 25, 2026

We're taking the first few weeks of 2026 to remind ourselves of who we are as a church family. Being part of a family is about belonging and becoming; about the journey that we're on together, and the shared values that define who we are and shape how we live. We've titled this series of messages, This Is US. So far, we've looked at the values of Biblical Truth, Grace, and Spiritual Growth. Now in week four, we're taking a look at our value of Excellence.

I love a good movie quote. And one of my favorites comes from the 1987 classic movie, The Princess Bride. "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." And that couldn't be more true of the word excellence.

We've been taking these first few weeks of 2026 to remind ourselves of who we are as a church family. We're on a journey together - a family road trip, so to speak - and we're revisiting the shared values that define who we are and shape how we live. We've titled this series of messages, This Is US. We've looked at our values of Biblical Truth, Grace, Spiritual Growth, and Excellence. This week we're taking a look at our value of Evangelism.
