Our Illuminate series celebrates the season of Advent: the weeks leading up to Christmas. The word “advent” is from the Latin word adventus which means “coming” or “arrival.” Just as the season of Lent prepares us to celebrate Christ’s death and resurrection, the season of Advent prepares us to celebrate Christ’s arrival in our world. Advent also reminds us to wait with eager expectation for Jesus’ second coming. One beautiful church tradition is the lighting of Advent candles which represent the themes of hope, peace, joy and love, and most of all remind us that Jesus is the light of the world. We want to illuminate our dark way with these truths: Jesus has come, and Jesus is coming again.

"Thank you all the way from Oregon. I deeply appreciate being shepherded by Pastor Greg and everyone else on the panels. You are a rare find in the church nowadays. Tackling tough questions with humility and a kingdom perspective. It has been life changing for me in such tumultuous times."
