Finding God

People often come to church hoping to “find” God. But God is rarely found in the places we might first suspect. God is found in the sacred spaces of this world that reach beyond the walls of church buildings and religious activity. Join us for a new five-week series called “Finding God” as we examine the way we think about encountering God and look through different eyes.

If Only

Regrets. We all have them. A missed opportunity, a poor financial decision, a boundary crossed, a relationship damaged. Life is filled with “if onlys.” Sometimes they haunt us. Sometimes they control us. Sometimes they define us. So how do you handle regret? Do you ignore it? Deny it? Just move on?

Most of the people we look to as models of faith had some “if onlys” in their lives. It was in the midst of their experiences that God became real hope re-ignited. Join us as we explore the faithfulness of God in the midst of life’s regrets.

The Third Day

The Third Day. It represents hope. It means that our present circumstances do not have to limit our future. It means that change is possible. The Bible proclaims that Jesus rose from the grave on the third day. That ancient text is a reminder that nothing is more powerful than God – not sin, not our past, not even death itself. Because of The Third Day, we can move from darkness into God’s marvelous light. Join us April 7 & 8 for our Easter Services and experience the power of The Third Day in your own life.

28 Days - A Journey Toward Wholeness

Habits are not always bad. Habits can provide a framework for living a healthy, Christ-centered life in the midst of what is often a hectic, chaotic world. What kind of habits characterize your life? What are your routines? What are your “default” behaviors when life gets crazy? Join us for a four-week series as we take a journey toward wholeness.

The Foolishness of God

We love people who look good, who sound good, and who are smart. We love people with money and power. To most of us, image is important. What does God think about our wisdom and our image? Join us this weekend as we talk about the foolishness of God.

Running With Giants

Join us for a three-week series as we look at the heroes of the faith that have gone before us. We’ll examine the life of Joseph who was blessed by a loving father, Rebekah who extended grace, and Moses who moved from safety to significance. Running with the giants will change your life.

Time - Balancing a Busy Life

Many of us are faced with decisions about how we want to spend the next year. We have to decide: What we want to do, vacations we want to go on, activities our kids want to do. You might be in the middle of a career change or searching for a new job. You have to make a number of choices of how you’re going to spend your time. It’s no wonder why we hear people say, “If I just had time! If I just had a few more hours in the day.” So, how do we maximize our time? How we make the most of it? How do we follow the examples of those before us who used their time well? Join us this weekend as we look at time and what really matters.

Hello My Name Is

Choices. We make a multitude of choices every day of our lives–from the coffee we order to the choices we make about how to raise our children. One way to realize the type of person we’ve become is to look at the choices we’ve made. When it comes to our relationship with God, what choices have we made in following Christ? What choices have been made for us?

Unreasonable

Webster’s dictionary defines unreasonable as: exceeding the bounds of reason or moderation. Unreasonable moves us from the safe and predictable to the risky and unexpected. Unreasonable is extravagant. It’s over the top. It’s outside the box. It’s more than we could ever imagine. Join us this weekend at Fairfax Community Church as we celebrate a God who exceeds the bounds of reason and moderation and invites us to live extravagant, exhilarating, unreasonable lives.

GameTracker

With the rise of the Fantasy Football subculture, the fascination is no longer about one team or one game. Fantasy Football enthusiasts watch all the games, keeping track of all the players because each one has a direct impact on their fantasy team’s success. Join us as we look at Fantasy Football through the lens of scripture: looking at the team building process and how each team member’s unique gifts and passions contribute to the team’s ability to reach their goal.
