Orthodoxy literally means "right belief."  This is an idea we see the apostle Paul address in his letters to Timothy. We need next level intentionality to pursue right belief through God's Word, Gospel, and Spirit. 

As we begin 2023, we are aiming to pursue Next Level spiritual vitality together. This month long series will focus on the topics of Worship, Orthodoxy, Discipleship, Community, and Generosity.   Today's service is unique and includes our singing and worship.
