Above & Beyond - Investing in what lasts

We all want to be part of something that matters — something bigger than ourselves. Over the past three years, Above & Beyond giving has reached from Halesowen to Albania, from families in crisis to global missions. Now, God’s calling us again to go above and beyond — to invest in what lasts, to open our hands, and to light up lives with hope.

What Unites Us

What unites us is greater than what divides us. We explore how a wildly diverse group of disciples with clashing backgrounds, personalities, and politics were brought together by Jesus to change the world. The same invitation is open to us today: connection, belonging, purpose, and second chances. If you’ve ever thought faith is about division or perfection — think again. This is about a fresh start, a new way of living, and a place where everyone is welcome.

No Greater Story | The Story of the End of the World

We all love a good ending—whether it’s shocking, heartbreaking, frustrating, or full of hope. But how does God’s greater story end? In Isaiah 65 we catch a glimpse: a new heaven and a new earth, where sorrow and death are gone, where purpose and peace are restored, and where joy overflows. This isn’t just God’s story—it’s our story too. We can look forward with hope, with purpose, and with expectation, knowing the Author who began the story will finish it.

No Greater Story | Is there hope in the mess of life?

What makes a great story? Tension — that messy middle where everything matters. In this talk we explore how Isaiah points to our own tangled stories of sin, exile and desperate need, then offers the hope of a Redeemer: a rescuer who comes, pays the price (the suffering servant) and invites us into new life. Join us as we unpack the problem, the promise, the cost and the pathway of redemption — and what it means to live the good news today.

No Greater Story | Finding God when life feels out of control

In a world marked by turmoil, uncertainty and “permacrisis,” where do we find hope and meaning? Looking through the lens of Isaiah, we explore how God’s Greater Story —creation, fall, redemption, and perfection, speaks into our chaos today.
—Speaker : Leon Evans - Lead Pastor

No Greater Story | Where’s God when life doesn’t go to plan: Where’s God in my story?

Where’s God when life doesn’t go to plan: Where’s God in my story? Everyone has a story, nobody really gets the story they want but everyone’s can story can be redeemed, find meaning, purpose and identity when it becomes part of God’s Greater Story.
Speaker: Leon Evans - Lead Pastor

Back to School

As a new season begins, we look at the story of David & Goliath and what it means for us today. Just like David, we’re reminded to carry three essentials in our “backpack”: our identity in God, the tools He’s already given us, and the right kit for our own journey. Whatever giants we face, we can step forward knowing Jesus is faithful and with us.

I'll Be There For You - Week 6 | That One Friend Who Matters The Most

Whether you’re an introvert or extrovert, we all share the same need for community—and for hope. In Mark 10:46–52, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, cries out to Jesus and discovers more than healing—he discovers value, dignity, and new life. This talk explores what it means when Jesus isn’t distracted by the noise around us, why He asks the question “What do you want me to do for you?”, and how His presence meets our deepest needs. If Jesus asked you that same question, how would you answer?

I'll Be There For You - Week 5 | Does Perfection Exist In Real Life?

We explore the myth of perfection in relationships, the reality of disappointment, and how true community is built.

I'll Be There For You - Week 4 | Hope Beyond Pain

"Hope Beyond Pain" explores why suffering exists and how we can find strength in it. Drawing on Scripture and personal loss, we share three truths: God is present in our pain, He can bring purpose from it, and He promises a future beyond it. Pain is real, but it’s not the end of the story—there is hope that lasts forever.
