    lead w/ love.
    ​my/our commitment to new life

    "Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God." -1 John 4:7
    This isn't a pledge to a budget. It's one way to practice what love does, patient, faithful, showing up on purpose.
    Prayerfully consider what you'll give in the year ahead.

Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love.”  -1 John 4:7-8
September 27 – October 18
Before we ask you to give anything, we want to tell you something first: you are loved.
This fall's series starts there, not with an ask, but with the truth that everything we do flows out of being loved first. Over four weeks, we'll dig into what love actually looks like, what it's willing to let go of, and what it means to respond to that love with love of our own.
Giving isn't the starting point of this series. It's where it lands.
The Series
Sep 27 — Loved First | Mark 10:17-22
Before anything else, before any ask, before any commitment, this is where it starts: you were loved first.
Oct 4 — What Love Actually Does | 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Love isn't just a feeling. It's patient, it's kind, it shows up in action.
Oct 11 — Love That Lets Go | Luke 14:25-33
Real love costs something. This week we look at what it means to hold things loosely.
Oct 18 — Following Means Loving | 2 Corinthians 8:1-9 | Commitment Sunday
We close the series by responding to God's love with our own, through the commitments we make together. Stick around after the 10:30 service, we're celebrating with a catered meal.
Commitment Sunday Details
Join us October 18 for a special service followed by a catered meal. Please RSVP for the meal by Wednesday, October 14.
Ready to make your commitment? A link to pledge will be available real soon. Stay Tuned.
You don't lead with love because you're supposed to. You lead with love because you were loved first, and that changes what you're willing to let go of.
