Lost Cause

    05.15.23 | Resources

    Has anyone ever written you off? Maybe they treat you like a lost cause - someone who’s not worth their time or effort. Most people wrote Jesus off too. His challenge to us as his followers is to choose to live differently, even when it’s tough.

    Join us for a series we’re calling Lost Cause where we will get at the core of what it means to live out Jesus’s biggest challenge to us.

    Lost Cause starts May 18 & 21.

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.
