Every day we are being shaped and formed by the things we give our attention to, by the habits (good or bad) that we develop. Spiritual disciplines, or practices, are habits that create space for God to act in our lives. These habits create conditions by which the Holy Spirit can shape our hearts to look like Jesus'. Connecting with God through Solitude, Community, and Outreach form three broad categories of spiritual practices through which we experience God and His grace. Join us as we dig deeper into these categories and seek to build habits that will transform our hearts.

“Wisdom” is the art of living skillfully in whatever conditions we find ourselves in. We’ll begin our four-week Wisdom series with an overview of the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes, exploring how God brings joy and purpose to our lives. Then we’ll apply Scripture’s wisdom literature from the book of Proverbs to issues such as effective workplace engagement, handling money wisely, and using words well. Throughout our series, we’ll draw parallels from ancient culture to the present day, discovering how wisdom literature is practical in everyday life.
