The More Than Us Project
God keeps sending us more people, and we want to be prepared to welcome them! So we have launched a new initiative we are calling More Than Us. This initiative is about renovating the newly aquired building located on Beirne Avenue and Andrew Jackson Way; a building we have named The Hub. This new building will help us create more room for new believer classes, space for our growing youth ministry, meeting areas for people in recovery, and room for our growing kids ministry!

For those who are able, please park at Advanced Auto, Southern Methodist, or nearby street-parking, then catch our shuttle or take the short stroll to Essential! Your options make attending easier.

COMMUNICATION: The Missing Piece
Steps to Your Best Relationship Ever
For Couples or Singles!
Would you like your relationship with others to be the best it can possibly be in 2025? The missing piece in any relationship being truly successful is COMMUNICATION. In this conference Steve & Debbie Wilson will teach couples or single people 6 steps that will allow your relationships, despite the ups and downs, to be the best it has ever been.
Meet our Speakers: Steve and Debbie Wilson.
In 1990, Steve and Debbie’s marriage fell apart. With intervention and trusting God’s promise “that what He began, He will complete” (Phil. 1:6), they worked their way back to a marriage that is stronger than ever.
Steve has a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Counseling and Debbie has a BA in Psychology. They are sought out speakers and love every opportunity to share with couples their journey from pain to passion to purpose as a married couple.
