Join us for an evening of worship, teaching and fellowship! Our theme for the night is “Obedience.” Seeing little as big. While this will be an evening of practical teaching in the “how” of obedience, we first need to grow in our love of the “Who” we are obeying. Come to be equipped and encouraged as you seek to look more like Jesus in your obedience.
Come early to enjoy some fun drinks from Twist and grab a snack. After enjoying worship and teaching all together we will be able to attend TWO breakouts (choose your top 2 in your registration!). We will end the night all together. Afterwards, head to the gym for more treats and fellowship.

Breakouts
Please read all of the breakout descriptions below before choosing your two breakouts.
A Path to Peace: Surrendering Control
In a world where we’re constantly striving to control our lives, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and unsettled. The pursuit of control often leads to anxiety, stress, and a lack of peace, even in our most cherished moments.
In this breakout session, we’ll uncover how to recognize the areas where we’re holding tightly and discover how God’s invitation to surrender control leads to lasting peace. We’ll dive into three key deceptions that keep us trapped in this battle for control, and discover three biblical principles that can free us to live in greater peace. You’ll learn how surrendering control to God isn’t a loss, but a pathway to greater peace—one that doesn’t depend on your circumstances.
Everyday Faithfulness
In our Instagram world, we subtly – if not knowingly – find ourselves drawn to the novel, the new, the cool current trending, the influencers with highest following, and even the life hacks we “need”. Could it be that this mindset affects even our view toward our Christian walk? We celebrate victories and highs, as we should! But think of the story of the incarnation of Christ that we celebrate during the Christmas season. Angel visits. Visions. Miracles. Guiding star. What about the ordinary days that occurred before, during, and following these events of wonder? On those days that we aren’t told much about, the faithful people of God kept – being faithful. Obedient.
In this breakout session we will explore “Everyday Faithfulness” and the value God places on it.
From Chaos to Christlike – Obeying the Lord with your mind
How many thoughts have you had today? Take a moment to remember some of what ran through your mind in the last few hours. Isn’t it fascinating to stop and think about…thinking? Like the rest of His creation, God designed your mind to glorify Him. But what happens when your thoughts seem to highlight your own sinfulness, your shortcomings, or your past mistakes? What happens when something created to draw you closer in worship drags you away from the Creator? Is there a way to bring glory to God with something that seems to betray you at every turn?
In this breakout, we’ll uncover what Scripture says about how to stop the spiraling thoughts, how to hop off the emotional roller coaster, and how to communicate with the Lord. In times of obedience and disobedience, we can train our minds to apply His instruction to our thoughts.
God’s Will: Obedience in our Lives and Decisions
We are bombarded with choices everyday. But how do we know if we are making the right ones? Have you ever been confused about God’s will for your life and the decisions you’re making? What IS God’s will anyway? And are you confident that you are obeying it?
In this breakout, we will open God’s Word and begin to clear up some of the mystery and confusion about God’s will. From our everyday decisions to our life altering moments, you will walk away from this breakout with a biblical understanding of who you were created to be and a practical guide to making decisions in line with God’s will. I think you just might find that it’s more comforting and freeing than you imagined!
In the Aftermath of Disappointment
Do you resonate with the psalmist who asked, “Will the Lord reject forever? Will He never show His favor again? Has His unfailing love vanished forever? (Psalm 77). Perhaps you find yourself standing in the aftermath of disappointment and loss, overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next. In our time together, we will explore the choices we have when faced with sorrow. We’ll look at the history of a God who longs to be near to you, who sees you in your pain.
Together, we will discover what our Father can mold in us when we choose to lean into Him during life’s hardest moments, rather than turning away. It is in these seasons—when we are stripped down in desperation before Him—that we find peace, intimacy, and joy. And it is here, in the obedience of trusting Him amidst disappointment, that hope is found.
