Awaken '26
Sep 17, 2026 • 6:30pm
Awaken ‘26 takes place September 17–20, building on the joy of last year’s inaugural weekend with expanded Thursday and Saturday evening gatherings. Together with our Sunday morning study and fall small group study, this weekend invites us to discover what it means to be a church filled with the Holy Spirit and sent into the world. Small groups remain at the heart of Awaken ‘26 because spiritual renewal isn’t meant to happen in isolation. If you’re not already part of one, we’ll gladly place you in a group when you register.

Mercy for All
What does God’s mercy look like when it crosses the boundaries we create? Through Jesus’ encounter with the Canaanite woman, this sermon explores humility, faith, and the abundant mercy of God. As we recognize our own need for grace, we discover that no one is beyond God’s love—and we are called to extend that same mercy to others.
