What if the key to understanding our future… is hidden in our beginning?
From the wonder of creation to the ache of separation, the opening chapters of Genesis tell the story of who we are, why we’re here, and what went wrong. But they also whisper of a God who calls us back. Back to purpose, back to peace, back to Eden.
Join us this fall for Return to Eden, a powerful teaching series exploring the truths found in Genesis 1–3:
What does it mean to be made in the image of God?
Why do work, marriage, and purpose matter so deeply?
How do we navigate shame, sin, and brokenness in a fallen world?
Whether you’re brand new to church or looking for a fresh start in your faith, this series will ground you in God’s design and point you toward His redemption.
Bring a friend. Let’s rediscover what we were made for.
