Summary
DID JESUS ACTUALLY have to die? Why? Why is there such a big deal about the cross, anyway? As our series Faith Foundations continues, we’re talking honestly about guilt, shame, brokenness, grace, and why the story of Jesus has resonated with people for 2,000 years. No churchy perfection stuff; just a real conversation about the human condition, sacrifice, forgiveness, and what it might mean for you today. If you’ve got questions about faith, if church has felt distant, or if you’re just spiritually curious, you've found the right place! Come hang, grab coffee, and explore something deeper with us. This is also our “Team Sunday” filled with worship, stories of service, gratitude, and a reminder that God doesn’t stand far off from our brokenness. He steps toward us in love! We serve because He first served us; modeling sacrifice and creating the welcome that changes everything. Come be reminded that the story of Jesus is ultimately a story about coming home. Sundays 9 & 10:30 AM // 70 Stephens Ln. Bayside, CA
