Ready for Next

The finish is just the start

A message series and milestone celebration for
Founding Senior Pastor Calvin Rychener

Each generation has an opportunity to be a part of a fresh work of God. Each generation has a promised land to claim for the Kingdom. And each generation is ushered into the new era through transition from the previous generation. Join us for Cal Rychener’s final series as senior pastor as we celebrate what God has done, prepare for what’s next, and train to tackle transitions as a necessary part of the new things God has in store for each generation.

Message Series

MARCH 6

Embrace the New Day

A new church generation is ready to receive the baton and run the race. To set up success, the present generation must get the hand-off right! Let’s learn some key factors that will foster the fresh work ahead.

MARCH 13

Cultivate Fresh Courage

Three times within just a couple of verses, God says to his people, “Be strong and very courageous.” In other words, don’t let fear win. It’s the most oft repeated command in the Bible: “Do not fear.” But how do we do it? Let’s learn how to find fresh courage for the challenges ahead.

MARCH 20

Pursue the Presence

Sometimes we find ourselves waiting for God to do something, when, in fact, he is waiting for us—to do what he has already told us to do! The waters of our future won’t open until we step up and step in—to do the works God has planned for us. We will receive power from the Holy Spirit, and we will know the presence of God in our days.
