The Holy Spirit

In the weeks following Easter, we’ll turn our attention from the resurrection of Christ to the presence and power of God with us today: the Holy Spirit.

This series will explore who the Spirit is, what He does in our lives and in the church, and how we walk in step with Him each day. Together, we’ll discover the Spirit’s role in our adoption as God’s children, our transformation into holiness, our prayer lives, and our mission in the world.

Whether you’re curious about spiritual gifts or longing for deeper intimacy with God, this series will guide you into a richer experience of life in the Spirit.
