Families come in all shapes and sizes. Whether you have children, hope to have children, parent solo or with a partner, your household can be a place of BELONGING & BECOMING, where each person feels safe, cared for and loved and is supported to develop who they are for the good of the world. RENEW YOUR IMAGINATION FOR WHAT FAMILY LIFE CAN BE

Raise your hand if you’ve ever wanted to scream, “You’re not the boss of me!” Especially when we’re teenagers, we tend to push back on the people, places, and things that control and hold authority over us. But here’s the catch: whether we admit it or not, we’ve all given someone (or something) control of our lives. In this 4-week series, we’ll consider who, or what, we’ve allowed to be our boss. Because whether it’s the god of me, the god of stuff, the god of worry, or the god of obsession, we all know what it’s like to have an authority problem.
Basecamp Sundays, 9:30-10:30 am / Refuge Room Join us on Sundays for Basecamp, our Bible Teaching program. We have donuts each Sunday. In Oct, we will study Jonah, a very interesting God who a lot of us can relate to about not always wanting to do what God asks us to do.
