Sunday Worship
In this series, we’ll explore how the good news of God shows up in unexpected places, including some of Broadway’s most beloved musicals. Each week, we’ll look at a different show and uncover the echoes of grace, redemption, hope, sacrifice, and community woven into its story. As Scripture and stage come together, we’ll discover how the gospel is not confined to church walls but resonates in the art, music, and narratives that move us. Come see how God’s truth steps into the spotlight in the stories we love.
Worship with us in-person on Sundays at 8:00 AM Traditional, Chapel / 9:30 AM Modern, Worship Center & 11:00 AM Traditional, Worship Center or worship with us online anytime.
