2026 Teaching Plan
This preaching schedule is a plan, not a promise set in stone. It’s meant to give us direction and help the team prepare, but expect there will be times when we need to adjust. We may change the schedule based on what’s happening in the life of the church, or our pastor’s sense of what needs to be shared, or the leading of the Holy Spirit. We want to stay open and flexible so that our preaching always speaks to the moment and the needs of our people.
