NEW LifeGroup Study! How do we find a joy that lasts, even when life gets tough? Join our upcoming LifeGroup study as we dive into the book of James using John MacArthur’s insightful guide, James: Guidelines for a Happy Christian Life. James shows us that true happiness isn’t about our circumstances. It comes from a faith that works. Together, we will discover how to find genuine joy through trials, test the quality and consistency of our faith, and live life as a vibrant, active, and faithful disciple every day.
