Are you ready to radically reset?
A new year doesn’t require a new resolution; it requires a new direction. Too often, New Year’s goals fade by the end of January. The RADICAL RESET courses are designed to help you start 2026 differently, not by making promises to yourself, but by committing to intentional growth, renewed faith, and bold action.
We are inviting 300 people to be part of a focused, transformational journey. This is more than a class; it’s a movement for those ready to challenge comfort, shift mindsets, and live with purpose!

21 Day Church wide daniel Fast - January 7 – January 28
As we begin the year, we invite you to step into a powerful season of prayer, discipline, and spiritual alignment. Our 21-Day Fast is an opportunity to intentionally pause, refocus, and seek God with expectation.
This is not about restriction, it’s about renewal. Together, we are setting aside distractions to make room for God to speak, lead, and transform.
Whether this is your first fast or a continued spiritual discipline, there is a place for you.
