When Traci and I got married over 7 years ago, I never thought we would have 3 young children this soon. However, this morning I woke up and helped get a 5 year old, a 4 year old and 3 year old ready for their versions of school. As our family has grown, we have […]

A couple of weeks ago, we had a vision recap to start off our fall season.  For me, one of the highlights of this gathering was talking about our aim to love each other well.  This is nothing new, or specific to one church, or “extra credit” for super committed Christians.

Church planting was not a new concept for me.  I had grown up in a church plant.  Several church plants, I […]

John 12:23-25 “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this […]

This January, we are launching semester-based, Sunday morning equipping classes that will take place at Providence each Sunday at 9:30am. These classes are a response to the need for a forum where we can go deeper into specific topics that may not normally be covered in a sermon series or during a Community Group time. […]
