We are not our labels. We are not who others say we are. And we aren’t the broken self-image we see in the mirror. So how can we get to our true identity? By laying down who we think we are to become who God says we are. Let’s discover our Altar Ego.
Join us as Pastor Stephen tackles issues like inadequacy, low self esteem anger, and offense—learn to exchange these feelings for the grace and love of Christ.
You say you believe in God. Do you really? Do you live your life as if God is in the room, or do you assume He's not paying attention? You call yourself a Christian. Are you who you say you are?

Can you imagine what could happen if we gave control of our life to God? It’s scary, but the benefits are world-altering. The story of Elisha challenges you to answer God’s calling and take the risks that are necessary to do His will. In "Elisha: A Tale of Ridiculous Faith" Pastor Stephen Füssle challenges us to start taking risks and making decisions the world doesn’t understand. Come see what life can look like when we let go…when we decide to have Ridiculous Faith.
Life doesn’t always go the way we expect, and we pray to God for help and guidance. But sometimes it seems like even though we pray with faith, God doesn’t do what we've asked. We seek Him, but don’t feel His presence. We go through pain, but our cries for relief seem to go unanswered. Sometimes, our lives just don't make sense.
In this three-week series, Pastor Stephen A. Füssle takes a close look at what we can do "When God Doesn't Make Sense". Topics cover the delays and changes we sometimes experience when we surrender our lives to God's planning.
Each of us spends our lives on a journey toward God. Yet often our most deeply felt longings—for meaning, for love, for significance—end up leading us away from, instead of toward, our Creator and the person he made us to be.
Our brand new easter series Finding Your Way Back to God shows you how to understand and listen to your longings in a whole new way. It’s about waking up to who you really are, and daring to believe that God wants to be found even more than you want to find him. It’s about making the biggest wager of your life as you ask God to make himself known to you. And it’s about watching what happens next.
There is a lot of thoughts going through our minds at any given moment. The reality is that for much of our lives we are unaware of the thought process going on in our own heads, and it seems that our brains run much of the time on autopilot. What if the autopilot was programmed to the wrong destination for your current journey? Many of the questions we ask ourselves shape what we are able to accomplish in this world. Join us as Pastor Stephen encourages us all to take a look under the hood so to speak of our thought processes from a Biblical perspective, and how these thoughts ultimately shape our realities. Mini message series is based off the book QBQ by John G. Miller.
Believe your big risks will be rewarded. Believe what you ask for is possible. If you’re ready to see a spark in your life, pray boldly. Pray daringly. Pray with fire. And remember God's listening to your Dangerous Prayers. Join us as Pastor Stephen takes us through this powerful 3 part series in February.

We want our family to enjoy peace, happiness, and contentment, but so often we stumble through our most important relationships. In "It's All About Ohana," discover four family-altering qualities: purity, peace, righteousness, and persecution.
