Thinking About Getting Married?
Our counseling team provides pre-marital counseling using the SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts) Assessment. This is a comprehensive, research-based online tool designed for engaged and newlywed couples to strengthen their relationship foundation. Each partner independently completes a 30—minute online questionnaire (cost is $35 per couple). The answers generate a detailed report of 15 pages outlining personal and relational dynamics. One of our counselors (a certified SYMBIS facilitator) will guide you through three or four discussions evaluating personality, finances, communication, and intimacy to identify strengths and areas for growth and provide actionable strategies to improve your relationship. -

If You Want To Walk On Water You've Got To Get Out Of The Boat
STARTING MAY 5 - July 28, 2026
6:00pm - 7:30pm | Fireside ChapelDeep within you lies the same faith and longing that sent Peter walking across the wind-swept Sea of Galilee toward Jesus.
John Ortberg invites you to consider the incredible potential that awaits you outside your comfort zone. Out on the risky waters of faith. Jesus is waiting to meet you in ways that will change you forever, deepening your character and your trust in God. The experience is terrifying. It’s everything you’d expect of somebody worthy to be called Lord.
In this book you are going to learn the skills essential to “water-walking”: discerning God’s call, transcending fear, risking faith, managing failure, trusting God. John Ortberg invites us to go for a walk on the water. Just remember one thing: -

Practicing The Way
STARTING AUG 25 - NOV 10
6:00 - 7:30 | Fireside ChapelContrary to what many assume, Jesus did not invite people to convert to Christianity. He didn't even call people to become Christians. He invited people to apprentice under him into a whole new way of living. To be transformed.
A New York Times bestseller and winner of the ECPA 2025 Christian Book of the Year, this book by John Mark Comer offers a portrait of following Jesus that is profound and compelling as it is simple.
The central theme is that we are constantly being formed by the world around us --- and that to be formed by Jesus requires becoming his apprentice, living by what the first Christians called a "Rule of Life": a set of practices and relational rhythms that slow us down and open space in our daily lives for God to transform us from the inside out.
The book opens by answering the question "What is a disciple?" Following Dallas Willard's lead, Comer uses the word "apprentice" to capture what a disciple was in Jesus' day and summarizes the three main goals of discipleship. Those three goals give the book its subtitle: Be with Jesus. Become like him. Do as he did.
