In a world that celebrates independence, it’s easy to forget that God designed us for connection. The early church wasn’t built on programs or perfection—it was built on people who showed up for each other, prayed together, shared what they had, and experienced God’s power in the middle of genuine community.
In this message, Pastor Bill Flanders will remind us that “community” doesn’t work without YOU in the middle. Your presence, your prayers, and your participation matter. When we step out of isolation and into comm-YOU-nity, we find the belonging, encouragement, and spiritual growth our souls have been craving. If you’ve ever felt disconnected, discouraged, or unsure where you fit, this message will help you rediscover the joy of doing life together—the way God intended.

Responding to the LGBTQ Debate - RELEASES THURSDAY
What does it look like to represent Jesus faithfully in the midst of cultural tension? Dr. Kevin W. Mannoia, Professor of Ministry and former University Chaplain at Azusa Pacific University, longtime church leader, and founder of the Wesleyan Holiness Connection, joins Pastor Mike Collins to discuss how Christians can engage the LGBTQ conversation with both grace and truth. Drawing on decades of ministry, leadership, teaching, and reconciliation work, Dr. Mannoia recounts stories from his work with The Christian Declaration on Marriage, his dialogues around cultural polarization, and his commitment to building relationships across divides. This isn’t just a talk — it’s an invitation to live as ambassadors of Christ in contentious times.

Women's Christmas Gathering
Celebrate the joy of God’s voice in your life. When Heaven Speaks is a joyful celebration created just for women. Together we’ll enter the wonder of the Christmas story, where angels carried messages of hope that changed the world forever. Just as God spoke then, He still whispers encouragement, guidance, and protection into our lives today—often through the “angels on earth” who walk beside us. Come be refreshed, inspired, and surrounded by the beauty of women gathering to listen for heaven’s voice. You’ll leave uplifted, reminded that God still speaks, listens, and cares.
