Healing Service
September 20th
We believe that when we ask God for healing, His answer may be yes, no, not yet, or different from what we expected. No matter the answer, we believe in the power of prayer and in bringing our requests before God, trusting Him with the outcome. Join us September 20th during both First and Second Service for a powerful time of prayer and healing. We’re believing God to move in a meaningful way as we seek Him together.

Parent and Child Dedications
September 20th
We are so happy to partner with parents and join you in this special time of dedicating your child to the Lord and yourselves to raising your child in the ways of the Lord. We ask each family wanting to participate in the dedication service to attend a class the weekend prior. If you have already attended this class at Essential and are dedicating another child, you do not need to attend the class again. Register here.
You Belong Here
We don’t care what you wear, how many piercings or tattoos you have, what candidate you voted for or even if you know anything about the Bible. We are a church filled with people just like you with every kind of story imaginable.
It’s dark, it’s loud, and it smells a lot like coffee. We love Jesus.
We love the Bible, and we love our church.
We’re having a ton of fun, but we aren’t just playing around.
We love what we get to do here.
We think you’ll love it too.

Last week’s Teaching:
“Christians Are the Reason I Am Not Into Christianity”
Maybe you’ve been disappointed by a pastor, mistreated by someone who claimed to follow Jesus, or watched Christians behave in ways that made you want nothing to do with the faith they represent.
So what do you do with that?
In this message from Galatians 5:13–16, Pastor Tim looks at why Christians sometimes behave badly, why we shouldn’t confuse imperfect Christians with a perfect Christ, and how learning to love imperfect people is actually part of following Jesus.
And for Christians, there’s an important question we all need to ask: When people encounter our Christianity, does it make Jesus easier to see or harder to see?
Don’t let someone who poorly represented Jesus keep you from the Jesus they poorly represented.
