Journey Through John

Come and See

From August 2026 through May 2027, our church family is journeying together through the Gospel of John. Through worship, sermons, Bible studies, weekly study guides, and The Budded Cross podcast, we are taking time to immerse ourselves in John’s Gospel and center our lives more deeply on Christ.

John tells us why he wrote:

“These are written so that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through believing you may have life in his name.”
— John 20:31

Over these nine months, we’ll walk through John from beginning to end—even carrying this journey through the seasons of Advent and Lent—as we encounter the stories, signs, questions, conversations, miracles, and promises that reveal who Jesus is.

Whether you join us every Sunday or are catching up along the way, there is a place for you on this journey.

Go Deeper: Weekly Study Guides

Each week, use our study guide to spend more time with the Scripture from Sunday. Reflect on the passage, explore the message further, and continue the conversation on your own, with your family, or with a small group.

The conversation continues after Sunday.

On The Budded Cross podcast, our pastors revisit the week’s Scripture and sermon, explore ideas that didn’t make it into Sunday’s message, and talk about what it looks like to live out what we’ve heard.

Study the Gospel of John

Pastor David is also leading two weekly Bible studies through the Gospel of John. These studies follow John from beginning to end and offer another opportunity to spend time in the text, ask questions, and grow in your understanding of Jesus.

While the Bible studies do not directly follow each Sunday’s sermon, they are part of the same invitation: to immerse ourselves in John’s Gospel and come to know Christ more deeply.
