Easter Series: When Faith Falls Apart
Finding Jesus Again
Week 1: Hope for the Doubters 🔍
Faith isn't the absence of doubt. Join us as we look at Thomas (John 20) and the "dark nights of the soul" experienced by greats like Martin Luther and C.S. Lewis. If you have questions that won't go away, you belong here. Key Text: John 20:24-29
Week 2: When Jesus Shows Up Anyway 🚪
The disciples were hiding behind locked doors, paralyzed by fear—and Jesus walked right through the walls. We explore how Christ meets us in our isolation, even when we aren't looking for Him. Key Text: John 20:19-23
Week 3: When God Feels Absent 🍞
On the Road to Emmaus, the disciples felt abandoned, only to realize Jesus was walking beside them the whole time. Stop chasing a "feeling" and find Him in a "location": the breaking of the bread at the Altar. Key Text: Luke 24:13-35
Week 4: When Failure Isn’t Final 🌊
Peter thought he’d blown it forever, but a sunrise breakfast on the beach changed everything. Discover a grace that doesn't just forgive your past but restores your future. Key Text: John 21:1-19
Week 5: When Community is Different 🤝
We aren't just starting a "new" church; we are recovering an ancient way of being human. Explore the four rhythms of the early church: Truth, Fellowship, Sacrament, and Prayer. Experience a community defined by servant leadership and real accountability. Key Text: Acts 2:42-47
Week 6: When Hope Hits the Streets 👣
The Resurrection wasn't meant to stay in the empty tomb—it's meant for our neighborhoods. As we look at the Ascension, we learn that our ministry happens in the home and our mission happens in the street. Key Text: Acts 1:1-11
Ancient and Contemporary
We are a new, contemporary, Spirit-filled, missional, and sacramental church forming in the Anderson, South Carolina, area. Our desire is to share the love of Jesus and to help equip His Church with the gifts and power of the Holy Spirit, so together we can advance the Kingdom of God. We’d love for you to join us on this journey of faith.
When Life Falls Apart: Finding Meaning in the Mess
"We’ve all been there: staring at a mess we can't fix, wondering if God is even in the room. But there's this 'Great Confession' that comes not from a textbook, but from the dirt of real life. It’s the realization that when everything is said and done, the Cross is the proof that He hasn't left us. It’s a shelter for the restless and a place to finally breathe for the weary."
