EMERGE to PENTECOST:
Oh, the colors, the beauty, the unabashed and exuberant expression of all that we are together! This celebration is like none other — brought to its fullest embodiment as we emerge and dare new heights!
In the emerging of the church in the book of Acts, a series of events in the life of Peter leads him to the understanding that God shows no partiality and all are welcome in this journey of new life in Christ.
Upon this rock, the Spirit builds a church that offers hope to the hopeless, strength for the weary, and new life to those who think theirs is over. Upon these things, this church will continue this mission to a world that so desperately needs a people who know the power of transformation!

Belonging
Series: Pentecost
The designation of the Sunday after Pentecost as a liturgical celebration of the Trinity originated some seven hundred years ago. The doctrine of the Trinity arose after the biblical period, primarily as a result of different groups debating in what way Jesus is or became divine and thus his relation to the Eternal Creator. Although the doctrine of the Trinity is not to be found in the Bible, the belief is built on biblical language of Father/Creator, Son/Redeemer, and Spirit.
