📅 Sunday, May 3, 2026 at 3:00 PM ET

This week we continue our Easter series What the Spirit Builds with the word BELONG. We'll be in Acts 6, 1 Peter 2, and John 14 — and the message is simple: there is room in the Father's house for everyone. No exceptions. No fine print.

Whether you're in the pew or on your couch, we want you with us.

I was never again comfortable in that space. And they never knew their careless words had found a target in my heart. I left the church shortly after that, because of this and so many other poison darts, some from the pulpit and some from people I thought were my friends.
