How Our Beginning Shapes Everything in Our Story

Our Spiritual DNA
The book of Genesis is more than the beginning of the Bible—it’s the foundation of our story. In its pages we discover where life begins, why we wrestle with sin, and how God calls and shapes His people. This series, Our Spiritual DNA, will help us see how the first chapters of Scripture set the pattern for faith, failure, and God’s redeeming grace. Genesis doesn’t just tell us where we came from—it reveals who we are and what God is doing to restore His people today.

From our Pastor for Smaller Communities:

We always encourage folks to gather in person or virtually to discuss the highlights of each week's sermon.  In this way, we intentionally go deeper - together and embrace a mindset that God's Word will be planted in us and nurtured to grow more.  If you are not discussing the sermon and its passage each week with others, then set aside time to explore the questions on your own!
