Everyone longs to belong somewhere. But what if the belonging we’ve been chasing was already offered to us before we were born?

This Sunday, we’ll explore what it means to be adopted in Christ, continuing Paul's letter to the Ephesians. Long before we ever reached for God, He chose to make us His own through Jesus.

Adoption is God’s original plan. Come discover how God turns spiritual orphans into beloved sons and daughters and how that truth changes the way we live, love, and worship.
