Over the past several months, our elders have taken time to pray, evaluate, and reflect on how we steward the resources and energy God has entrusted to our church. One of the areas we reviewed carefully was our Sunday Livestream. After honest assessment and a clear sense that our capacity has shifted, we’ve come to the conclusion that we are no longer able to continue offering a full livestream each week.
Our final broadcast will be Sunday, December 21st.
We know this may be disappointing for some, and we want to share the heart behind this decision with clarity and care.
Why This Change?
Scripture paints a vivid picture of what it means to be God’s people. We are not simply minds that think or spirits that float through ideas. We are embodied souls, created to worship God together in ways that are physical, relational, and communal (Genesis 2:7; Romans 12:1).
When the New Testament calls believers to gather, encourage one another, sing, pray, serve, bear one another’s burdens, and share in the Lord’s Supper, each of those practices assumes presence with real people in real space (Acts 2:42–47; Hebrews 10:24–25). The gathered church is a living reality, not only a digital one.
Because of that, we want our primary focus and investment to remain on the in-person life of the church. That’s where we see the Spirit working most clearly through shared presence, shared voices, and shared life.
What’s Next?
While the Livestream is ending, we will continue providing an audio-only podcast of the Sunday sermon, which will remain available on our website and podcast platforms. This serves those who miss a Sunday or want to revisit the message later in the week. We’ll also continue posting sermon summaries to help you stay connected and reflect throughout the week.
A Word of Thanks
Many of you know how much dedication goes into producing a weekly Livestream. Our team has served faithfully for years, pouring in time, skill, and patience to make these broadcasts possible. Their work has blessed so many, and we encourage you to thank them when you see them. We are genuinely grateful.
How This Fits Our Mission
This transition is not a step back from our mission. It is a stewardship decision aimed at healthy, sustainable ministry. We want to invest our limited energy in the places that bear the most fruit, and for us that remains the gathered worship of God’s people on Sunday mornings.
If you have questions or concerns as we move forward, please let us know. Our hope is to shepherd our church family through this shift with clarity, unity, and grace.
Thank you for being a church that cares deeply about God’s presence and one another. We look forward to all God has for us as we gather each week—together, as embodied people, worshiping a faithful and present God.
