The Summer Café will be open for business with coffee and home baked treats.

We welcome our students and their adult leaders who are joining the discussion on “This I Believe!”

The Apostles’ Creed—it’s in the worship folder and on the screens. We stand up, say it, sit down and move on. What if we didn’t move on, and instead, let the truths of the ancient creed sink into our hearts and lives? What if each “I believe” statement was a clarion call for us to persevere in our faith as we wait for the glorious return of the Lord?

The Summer Forum, “This I Believe: Meditations on the Apostles’ Creed,” is designed to walk us through the Apostles’ Creed purposely and carefully. Each week, our pastors and pastoral residents as well as current and former professors from Wheaton College and Moody Bible Institute will discuss what we believe about God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit—not in broad brushstrokes but in a way that will present a full and rich picture of our beliefs.

Sunday Evening Worship Services

Everyone welcome.

NEW SERMON SERIES: GOING UP Evening sermons from the Book of Ezra at 5 p.m.

And as this ancient creed comes to life, we will be reminded of the foundational truths of the faith so that, in being build up, strengthened and equipped to contend for it, we might persevere in our faith as we await the glorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Jude 3, 20, 21)
