Pastor Russ is teaching an series entitled: Firm Foundation: Building Your Life on Truth That Never Changes

In a world where everything seems to be changing; culture, opinions, circumstances, even our emotions... where can we find something that never moves?

Firm Foundation is a journey through Scripture that explores what it means to build a life that can withstand every storm. Jesus taught that every person is building a life, but the strength of that life depends entirely on its foundation. A foundation built on success, feelings, possessions, or personal achievement will eventually fail. A life built on Jesus Christ and the unchanging truth of God's Word will stand.

Throughout this series, we'll tackle some of life's biggest questions:

What am I building my life on?
How do I know what is true?
Can I ever be good enough?
Who does God say I am?
What do I do when life falls apart?
How do I actually live out my faith every day?

Whether you're new to faith, returning to church, or have followed Jesus for years, this series will help you discover how God's unchanging truth brings stability, hope, and confidence in an ever-changing world.

Pastor Russ is teaching an series entitled: Freedom: Breaking What Keeps You Stuck

Why do people who genuinely love God still struggle with the same fears, patterns, hurts, shame, and cycles?

In this journey, we will explore the hidden struggles that often keep believers from experiencing the freedom Jesus promised.

Together, we'll look at topics such as shame, fear, anxiety, control, unforgiveness, false beliefs, emotional wounds, and the renewing of the mind.

This series is not about condemnation. It's about freedom.

Through practical biblical teaching, honest reflection, and Spirit-led application, we'll discover how Jesus exposes what binds us, not to shame us, but to heal us and set us free. Whether you're carrying past hurts, battling anxiety, struggling with unhealthy patterns, or simply longing for deeper spiritual growth, this series will help you identify what keeps pulling you backward and learn how to walk in lasting freedom.

Freedom isn't pretending you were never stuck. Freedom is discovering that Jesus is stronger than what has been holding you back.
