In a cultural moment filled with noise and confusion, it’s easy to feel shaken. That’s why we’re diving into the letter of 1 John. John wrote to friends and leaders who were walking away from faith, spreading toxic ideas, and leaving everyone else wondering: "Do we actually know the truth?" John's letter shows us how to stay undeceived, radically follow Jesus when others walk away, and find real certainty in your faith. This is the perfect series to invite that friend who has questions or is wrestling with their faith. JOIN US UPCOMING EVENTS STAY CONNECTED SUBSCRIBE DOWNLOAD APP

HOME FOR THE CURIOUS AND THE COMMITTED Becoming followers of Jesus, bringing the good news of Jesus to the world

Fishers of men: a disciple is committed to the mission of Jesus A fully-formed disciple of Jesus will live as Jesus lived: loving others as we love ourselves, caring for the marginalized, and sharing the good news of Jesus wherever we are. We do not have to quit our jobs and move to a foreign country to participate in the mission of Jesus. We do it right where we live and work and play. Each month on this page we will offer practical guidance on how to join Jesus in the work he is already doing in the lives of those around us.

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.

Proverbs 27:17 To enable men to connect with one another, grow in their relationship with Jesus, and make a difference in the world they live in. Our Iron Men ministry is focused on creating opportunities and environments for men to connect and have conversations that lead to a deeper relationship with Christ and one another. There are lots of ways for you to jump in with us – we have a monthly dinner, small group Bible studies, regularly scheduled outdoor activities and events, and an annual retreat. THE IRON MEN CHALLENGE Transform Your Well-being: Beyond Awareness to Lasting Change Many men recognize the need for growth in their physical, relational, mental, and spiritual health, yet true transformation often remains elusive. Traditional avenues like the gym, self help, therapy, church services, Bible studies, and podcasts, while valuable, frequently fall short of producing lasting change. The missing piece? A supportive community that helps men bridge the gap between their aspirations and reality. On the 3rd Monday of each month, we have an Iron Men Connect Night offering live teaching and roundtable discussions focused on Biblical Manhood, fostering growth in Christ's character. Complementing this, are weekly challenges providing exercises that grow you physically, mentally, relationally, and spiritually. And for even deeper accountability and community, we offer Life Groups that meet at the church on Tuesdays. It's time to move beyond knowing what to do and start living it. UPCOMING EVENTS Iron Men Outdoors is a faith-driven community of men bonded by their love for nature and a shared spiritual journey. Through outdoor adventures like camping, hiking, and kayaking, they form strong connections while finding solace and spiritual growth in the beauty of the natural world. It's a brotherhood that combines faith and the great outdoors to inspire and empower men for fulfilling lives. Join us for one of our monthly events. JOIN GROUP CONTACT JOIN AN IRON MEN GROUP

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, followed by additional services. Come celebrate the risen King with us! We’d love for you to be part of it.
