Join via Zoom.

Watch Kevin Doyle's sermon

Last Sunday, Kevin Doyle offered a message called “At the End of the Tunnel, There's a Light.” He wrote: “There's a light at the end of the tunnel. The inside might be as black as the night, but at the end of the tunnel there's a light. We can see the light, but are still in the dark, and need to keep chugging along with caution, perseverance, and a positive attitude.” Watch now or see our worship slides.
