When God Goes to the Movies...
Sundays at 10:00 AM | Sept 21 – Nov 16, 2025
What do Star Wars, Harry Potter, and The Lord of the Rings have to do with faith?
This fall, we're rolling out the red carpet for a blockbuster worship series where stories from the big screen help us better understand the timeless truths of Scripture.
Like Jesus did with everyday parables, we’ll explore how modern tales reflect deep spiritual lessons.
It’s thoughtful, fun, and made for anyone curious about faith even if you’ve never been to church before.
Why This Series?
We believe God still speaks through Scripture, through community, and even through the stories that shape our culture.
This series helps us see the Gospel in new ways by finding faith in unexpected places.
