    Do you ever feel like your life is nonstop running and running, but you aren’t really going anywhere? We live our lives taking cues from what our friends, neighbors, and and everyone else is doing, but what if that leaves us feeling empty? What if the life we long for isn’t found doing what everyone else is doing? What if it was found going against the grain?

    Against the Grain kicks off February 16 & 19.

    Discover Your Spiritual Gifts and How God has Designed You To Serve People We believe that God has given every follower of Jesus at least one dominant spiritual gift for the growth of the church community. This assessment is designed to help you discover the gifts that God has placed in you.

We believe God’s people don’t merely need another method for evangelism – what they need is a passion to help people they love find the God who loves them.  Don’t have your one yet, that’s ok, see resources below to help you identify your ONE.
