Happy Hump Day! Still Here. Still Holding It Down. This Sunday, we are honoring a kind of strength that does not always get celebrated. The quiet kind. The consistent kind. The strength of the father who stayed when it would have been easier to leave. The mentor who showed up without needing to be asked. The man who did not have an example, so he chose to become one. Not everyone had that. Some are grieving what they never received. Others are trying to become what they never saw. Whether you are carrying a father wound or a father legacy, there is a place for you here. Come worship with us. Bring your heart. Bring your healing. Bring your story.

This Week’s Message to Encourage You:“Built to Stay” You do not have to be loud to be strong. This message is for the men who held it together when everything was falling apart. For the fathers who stayed even when it hurt. For the ones who did not have an example but decided to become one. This Sunday, we are calling strength what it really is: steady. Show up, stand firm, and discover the kind of faith that does not flinch. Also Worth Noting:
