New Series for the Summer 2020

We have spent several months studying the Book of Colossians followed by two weeks of Conversations On Race. Our new series flows out of those experiences. As a matter of fact, it is called In the Flow: Being a Faithful Presence in a Ruptured World.

Pastor Avery has invited four Christian leaders from four different cities to have four conversations with him about Christian ministry in their context while navigating a worldwide pandemic and social unrest in our nation. Each conversation will center around a biblical text challenging us to continue living faithfully for Christ.

Come listen in on conversations with Pastor Avery and a worship pastor from Miami, FL, a church planter from Wenatchee, WA, a community pastor from Portland, OR, and a church networker from Seattle, WA. Invite your friends to listen in. Get ready to hear amazing gospel stories and be challenged from the Word of God to be a faithful presence in a ruptured world.
