Video Teaching Messages

In addition to our in-person Gathering Circles on Sunday mornings, we are offering a video-based teaching experience for anyone to watch at any time. Our Sunday morning Gathering Circles offer a place to come together, engage with one another, and learn from the Bible. The video teachings will offer a way for anyone to benefit from these teaching experiences, whether they are in-person or not.

Currently, the Gathering Circle is being taught by Rob Kranz with a lesson entitled: “Being God's Image". These classes will be recorded each Sunday and available online beginning Tuesday afternoons to view.
