January 5th 2025 - March 9th, 2025 ( 10 Week Series ) 

“Be Fruit Full” is a 10-week journey unpacking the Fruit of the Spirit, beginning with the celebration of our church’s 35th anniversary and the continuation of our vision for 2025. This series challenges us to go beyond just bearing fruit—we’re called to be full (“exponential”) of the fruit of the Spirit. While having the fruit is amazing, being completely filled with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control leads to an even greater transformation.

When we are full of the fruit, we don’t just carry these qualities for ourselves; they overflow, impacting everyone around us. Each fruit produces seeds that lead to exponential growth and a greater harvest for God’s Kingdom. Through engaging teachings, real-life stories, and practical applications, we will explore how living a Spirit-filled life produces lasting fruit that changes not just us, but the world we touch.
