Exploring the greatest speech in history.

Some speeches change history, like Lincoln's Gettysburg Address or MLK's I Have a Dream. But there's one speech that literally transformed history. Jesus' "Sermon on the Mount" has reshaped lives and cultures for two thousand years, teaching people how to live, love, pray, and trust God. Spend the season soaking in the most impactful speech that's ever been delivered. Join us for Summer on the Mount. 

Bringing the Bible to Life

Reading the Bible is one thing, but watching characters come alive is quite another. Faces of Easter will introduce you to a series of complex and interesting characters who experienced the love and power of God. With the help of local actors and original scripts, we're bringing bible characters to life, and we can't wait for you to meet them!

God plans to use YOU!

What would you say if we told you that God plans to use you to introduce himself to others? Just as nations send ambassadors to other countries, God sends us into the world that he created so that people would discover who he is and how to follow him. Get ready to be God's spokesperson!

EVERYONE NEEDS GUIDANCE.

From big decisions to small steps, we sometimes need navigating through uncertainty. But not all guidance is good, and we hear lots of ideas and opinions each day.

The good news is that we can trust God to guide us in specific ways.  He may not use a sign in the sky or a miraculous event, but He will nudge us in the right direction when we learn how to listen.

You’ll be surprised where He leads you!

Surprise Church invites you to discover how to “get guidance” from God. 

YEP. HE DOES.

As this preview shows, God actually cares and wants to help us, even if we find that hard to believe. We can relate to God as a an angry or uncaring overlord, but life much fuller when we know that God is on our side.

Surprise Church invites you to train your heart to trust in a God that is both willing and eager to have your back.

God loved, so God gave.

Christmas is the season of giving because of the Big Gift that God gave to the world that first Christmas--a baby boy who would save the world. And while this Gift was given long ago, we have the honor of opening that Gift as we celebrate Christmas.

THE END IS ALREADY HERE!

The Book of Revelation is often seen as a scary list of future disasters, but few people learn what this letter truly says and means for our lives today. The reality is that the End has already come in Jesus, which changes everything! Join us for a journey through this spellbinding book to discover how to live with courage and hope in God’s closing chapters of human history.

IT’S TIME TO RECONNECT.

Humans were created “in the image of God,” a unique quality that binds us together and separates us from rocks, dogs, and trees. But today, we’ve forgotten God’s image in ourselves and others, interacting more with screens than actual human beings and struggling with isolation as a result. Surprise Church invites you to Reclaim the image of God by Reconnecting with God’s people.

YOU JUST NEVER KNOW.

We’ve seen countless stories in which people invited a friend to church and watched their lives change for the better. When someone we know and trust welcomes us to experience God in a fresh way, it opens a door to a faith-filled community that unlocks God’s future. Join us for a teaching series that explores the power of Inviting, including some of the powerful stories of life-change that we have seen at Surprise Church! 

BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU.

Don’t let summer rush past without accepting the Gifts that God has for you in His Word. We’ll unpack a single Bible verse each week, which you can commit to memory or put on your fridge as a reminder of the hope you have in Jesus. Surprise Church invites you to the Summer Soak!
