Friendship is at the core of who we are. God Himself models perfect relationship in the Trinity, and He invites us into that kind of connection with one another.
The Spiritual Friendship Series is a multi-week, church-wide journey designed to help us move from casual friendship to covenant friendship—grounded in Scripture and centered on God’s design.
How you can participate
Our prayer is that our whole church will focus on building authentic, Christ-centered friendships together — relationships that help us grow in faith and live it out in daily life.
You and Me following Him.
