Sunday Gatherings at 9:30 & 11:15am Livestream at 9:30am LIVESTREAM DISCUSSION GUIDES NEW SERIES THIS SUNDAY Do you ever look at the world and find yourself asking, "Really, God? This is the plan?" It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the headlines of chaos and the personal sting of injustice. When the math of our circumstances doesn't add up to a "good" God, we demand immediate answers that fit our own logic. But what if the answer isn't a change in our situation, but a change in our lens? Join us as we walk through the book of Habakkuk. Together, we’ll explore how to navigate the tension between a good, sovereign God and a suffering world. Whether you're in a season of peace or right in the middle of the "why," there is a seat for you here. JOIN US UPCOMING EVENTS STAY CONNECTED SUBSCRIBE DOWNLOAD APP

Join us at Cedarbrook this Easter weekend as we reflect on the cross and celebrate the hope of the resurrection. We’ll begin with our Good Friday service, a meaningful time to slow down and remember the sacrifice Jesus made for us. Together we’ll reflect on the cross and the truth that Jesus took our place, giving his life so we could be forgiven and welcomed into God’s presence. Then come celebrate the joy of Easter Sunday, when we gather to remember that the tomb is empty and Jesus is alive. His resurrection declares that he is the risen King with authority over life and death, inviting us into the new life he offers. Easter Sunday services will begin with a sunrise service (rain or shine), followed by additional services. Come celebrate the risen King with us! We’d love for you to be part of it.

As a church, we want to make the most of this momentum to accelerate the gospel in expanding God’s kingdom. To that end, we’ve created our EMPOWER offering. The EMPOWER offering is for those who want to give above and beyond their regular tithes and offerings to accelerate the mission and vision of Cedarbrook.

Item List Follow me: a disciple knows and follows Jesus When we look at the life of Jesus, it is very clear that his mind and his worldview were deeply formed by the Scriptures. As we read the Gospels, we see that he was literate, conversant, and passionate about the Word of God. And he calls his followers to be the same. A disciple of Jesus needs to understand and embrace the essential teachings of the Bible. Each month we will explore an essential doctrine of God’s Word through video and print resources. We hope that you will find these helpful in your discipleship journey.
