Topic: BASIC Programming—explore the foundational doctrines of the Christian faith

This year at our 9:30am Congregation Weekend Away, we’re diving into BASIC Programming—a series of engaging talks on the foundational doctrines of the Christian faith. Whether you’re new to church or have been following Jesus for years, this is a great opportunity to be refreshed by the core truths of the gospel and how they shape our everyday lives. We’ll open God’s word together, be encouraged in our faith, and consider what it means to build our lives on the basics of grace, salvation, and God’s promises.
