By Ellis White, Senior Pastor Tomorrow is not a Sunday you’ll want to miss. For the last few weeks we’ve been asking you to circle September 7 on your calendar—without saying exactly why. That wasn’t an accident. Because what God is about to do among us is bigger than anything we could manufacture on our […]
You Were Made For Monday, Too
By Ellis White, Senior Pastor Labor Day weekend. That rare and beautiful moment when we all collectively agree: Let’s not work today. And thank God for it. Because whether you’re grinding out reports, wrangling toddlers, managing a team, or trying to remember the password for your HR software so you can submit your time off […]
Together As One
By Ellis WhiteSenior Pastor For the past two months, we’ve been trying something new: gathering as one church family at 10:00 am every Sunday.

There’s laughter in the lobby, kids darting between grown-ups, and people from different generations and worship preferences coming together. It’s electric—but not just because it’s crowded. It’s meaningful. It’s unifying. Over the past couple of years, […]
The Power of a Life Laid Down
by Pastor Ellis WhiteSenior Pastor This week, I stood at the foot of the National World War I Monument in Kansas City—a towering tribute to the men and women who gave their lives in one of the most devastating conflicts the world has ever seen. It’s a sobering place. As I looked out over the […]
One Invitation Can Change Everything
By Pastor Ellis WhiteSenior Pastor I was working on a project recently. Honestly, I could have finished it faster on my own. But I saw an opportunity to spend time with my son, so I invited him to help. We worked side by side. It took longer. I had to undo a few things he […]
When It Feels Like the Story’s Over
By Ellis WhiteSenior Pastor Have you ever felt like a door just slammed shut in your face? Something you had planned for. Hoped for. Dreamed about. And then—bam—it all ends suddenly. Maybe it was a relationship that fell apart. A job that didn’t work out. A diagnosis that changed everything. A prayer that went unanswered. […]
Experience the Power of Holy Week

Holy Week isn’t just a story from the past—it’s the foundation of our faith. It’s the week that […]
