Good Friday and Easter Services
Good Friday In ancient Rome, death by crucifixion was designed for extreme pain and extreme shame. It was important for criminals to feel the weight of their crime, and for spectators to fear what would happen to them if they did something wrong.

Spring Fling Dance
Spring, our fickle friend. You bring sunshine and rain, warmth and then a cool down, snow and melting. You are welcomed and loathed all at the same time.

Sure.
When we’re confident, we say we’re sure. When we sort of agree we say, “Yeah… sure.” When faced with the various worldviews and opinions in our society about spirituality and faith, many people say, “Sure. If it works for you, that’s great.” But Jesus says he’s the only Truth. How can we hold that conviction in our culture of tolerance? How can we navigate the maze of truth with humility and confidence? Join … Read More
WH Women
We believe God has something in store for the women of Woodland Hills. On Friday, February 23rd we are hosting a different kind of women’s event, WH Women: Kingdom Connections.
