Sexual assault and harassment is never okay. It’s heartbreaking (but sadly no longer surprising) that so many women have experienced this evil and injustice. As several women have noted, soon the #metoo hashtag will leave the headlines but the scars and sorrows of their abuse won’t leave in the same way....

On October 6, 2013 The Brook officially launched. 3 years ago today!! Reflecting on that day and season of life brings back so many memories. Here are 3 “snapshots” I’ve been reflecting on. Ready? 3…2…1… here we go: ...

Our 3-2-1 Anniversary Celebration Timeline...

At the TIDE Showcase, we are on a mission to provide a well of water in a community that is marked by spiritual famine. Jesus said, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” This Friday, the students will display repairs they’ve done in our building, o...

Hope is Rising! When Jesus rose, Hope rose from the dead to make hope rise in our hearts. Join us to celebrate Jesus' resurrection on Sunday, March 27 at our 9:15am and 11:00am services...and invite someone to join you!...

Since being in Haiti, there have been a myriad of experiences that have taught me much about who God is and the mission he has called us to. One that cannot escape my mind was when I, for the first time, saw local fishermen manually catching fish at the beach. Instantly, I was reminded about the calling of some of Jesus’ disciples-fishermen who did the hard work I was wi...

The God of the Bible is a good God, who is infinite in his worth, supreme in his love, and breathtaking in his compassion. He alone can satisfy the deepest longings of the human heart and supply us with lasting joy, forgiveness, and eternal hope. With him as the hope for humanity and the delight of the Church, we are faced with a historic day in our nation as it pertains t...

I was in Jr. High the first time my eyes saw pornography. In God’s grace, he’s rooted out the image from my mind but the scenario is still there. I wasn’t looking for it, but it found me. I was heading into my classroom at school when a classmate had a picture in his hand and literally put it right in front of my face and then ran off. One of the most sobering lesson...

On April 5 we will celebrate the glorious fact that Jesus is alive! If Jesus didn't raise from the dead, then our faith is in vain. "But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead," writes Paul, and because he lives, we want to tell the world around us about our great hope in Jesus. This Easter, we are having two Easter services at 9am and 11am to double our praise and s...

At The Brook, we are grateful for the many ways God used Martin Luther King, Jr. to advance racial equality through peaceful and yet sacrificial means. He was a courageous man who, among other things, cared deeply about something that God cares deeply about, Christ-Exalting Diversity. ...

The Bible is powerful! It is the Word of God through which He speaks to us. Let's together work through the Gospel of John between now and Easter and see the kinds of things God does in our lives. Join the ride!...
