The RENEW Campaign is a six-week, church-wide season of focused spiritual renewal. The entire church will be focusing on the three components of RENEW - CONNECT, GROW, and SERVE during our services, small groups, and personal studies during this time. Join us as we come together to create an experience we trust the Holy Spirit will use to encourage, correct and form us to be his people in this moment given to us.
