“This We Believe: The Apostles’ Creed," April 21
Title: “Going Under”
Scripture: Romans 6:1-11
By: Rev. Steve Price
We're all searching. Sometimes the search is as easy as a click of a button. But sometimes our questions are complicated, and the answers are difficult to see and harder to articulate. How do we discover and examine the truths that give meaning and purpose to life? Some of the foundational answers can be found in the Apostles’ Creed. Come join us on Sundays to learn more.
Worship with us in-person on Sundays at 8:00 AM Traditional, Chapel | 9:30 AM Modern & 11:00 AM Traditional, Worship Center | or worship with us online anytime.
