Join us as we continue our Revival Series with a powerful message by Pastor Chris Vigil titled “Transforming Testimonies.” Drawing from Deuteronomy 8:7–18, this sermon explores the importance of remembering God’s faithfulness. Remembering gives us strength when we feel weak, restores hope, and anchors our souls in who God is. Through passages like Psalm 77 and Hebrews 6, we’re reminded that our testimonies not only reflect what God has done—but point to what He will do. May your faith be strengthened as you look back and believe forward.

The Revival We Need | Social Concern
Join us as we continue in our Revival Series with a challenging and timely message by Pastor Jasmine Stanley titled “Social Concern.” Rooted in Deuteronomy 15:7–8, this message unpacks God’s heart for justice, compassion, and generosity—especially toward the poor and marginalized. From the laws of the Old Testament to the teachings of Jesus and the practices of the early Church, we are reminded that true revival is not just spiritual, but social. Scripture after scripture calls the people of God to defend the widow, care for the foreigner, treat workers fairly, and share generously. In a culture marked by division and self-preservation, this sermon is a call to radical love—love that is demonstrated in action. As James 2 says, faith without works is dead. May we be known by our love, and may our faith be revived through the way we serve others.

Heart Offering 2025 | The Mission of Christ
This week, we came together for our Annual Heart Offering and heard a powerful message from Pastor Chris Vigil on embracing the mission of Christ. He reminded us that the Church doesn’t have a mission—the mission has a Church. As His body, we’re called to live fully aligned with that mission. Our prayer is that through steps of faith and generosity, we would continue advancing the three core elements of Christ’s mission: Reach, Restore, and Reproduce.

The Revival We Need | Reviving Evangelism
Join us as we continue in our Revival Series, this week with an impactful message by James Allen titled “Reviving Evangelism.” Anchored in Acts 4, this message calls us back to the bold, Spirit-empowered witness of the early Church. As we explore the word, it reminds us that evangelism is not reserved for the few but is the calling of every believer filled with the Holy Spirit. As the early disciples prayed, the place was shaken—and so were they—sent out with courage to proclaim the name of Jesus. From the temple courts to everyday homes, they never stopped preaching the good news. Through the lens of Scripture, the legacy of the early Church, and the conviction that we are never called in without being called out, we are challenged to step into the same boldness. Ordinary people. Extraordinary power. A Gospel too good to keep quiet.

The Revival We Need | Revival in Community
Join us as we continue in our Revival series, this week with a powerful message from Pastor Chris Vigil titled “Revival in Community.” We explore how revival isn’t just personal—it’s communal—sparking gospel rediscovery, surrendered living, and deeper prayer that shifts from discipline to intimate discovery of Jesus. Anchored in Acts 18 and shaped by God’s word to Paul in Acts 18:9–10, this message speaks directly to places like Reno—one of the most unchurched and dechurched cities in America. You’ll be challenged to move from surface-level connection into communitas—a Jesus-centered, mission-driven, sacrificial way of life. We also confront the epidemic of loneliness and ask: What kind of community are we truly building? Are we willing to be the kind of people revival can live in?

The Revival We Need | Extraordinary Prayer
Join us as we continue in our Revival series, this week with a impactful message from Pastor Jasmine Stanley titled "Extraordinary Prayer." We explore how the early church gathered—not casually, but constantly—in unified, fervent, and Spirit-filled prayer, preparing the way for the outpouring at Pentecost. Drawing from Acts 1 and 2, and grounded in the deep hunger for God found in Matthew 5 and Psalm 42, this message challenges today’s church to go beyond convenience and into extraordinary devotion. You’ll hear why revival doesn’t come through routine religion, but through prayer that is fervent, sacrificial, united, and persistent. We also reflect on sobering trends in the American church and ask: are we hungry enough for God to move again?
