This April 17-19, join us for Freshwind 2025.
In a world where we’re constantly told we’re not enough, where our lives don’t seem to measure up to the ones we watch as we scroll for hours, and we bottle up all the negativity just to get through another day – there is another voice reaching out. A voice that says “Come as you are,” as it cuts through the noise of the world. It’s the voice of the God who sees you, catches every tear, hears every hopeless thought, and invites you to bring your struggles, fears, and imperfections to Jesus. He says “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” as He meets our brokenness with healing, and our weakness becomes strength through Jesus.
There is no need to hide anything from a God who sees it all and still chose to sacrifice everything to make you whole. He is waiting with open arms for you to run into, unashamed and unfiltered.

Catalina Larenas | How to live like a Christian in 2025
In a world that celebrates trends, opinions, and self-expression, what does it mean to stand firm in truth? Being a Christian in 2025 means being bold—but how do we live differently without becoming judgmental or isolated?
Mel Jefferey | Purpose & Calling: What Am I Here For?
So many of us wonder, What am I supposed to do with my life? We look around and see people who seem to have it all figured out—but what if the purpose isn’t about a perfect plan, but a faithful pursuit?
Katelyn Biehn | Navigating Life's Ups and Downs
Life is unpredictable—one moment, things are great, and the next, everything feels overwhelming. As followers of Jesus, how do we stay grounded when life keeps changing?
Kertsen Feth | Living Holy: Overcoming Sin and Temptation
Holiness sounds like an impossible standard. How do we fight temptation when everything around us pulls us in the opposite direction? How do we walk in purity, integrity, and righteousness without feeling like we have to be perfect?
Youth Pastors Session | Mel and Jonatas Rogato
Our former Youth Pastors, Melanie and Jonatas Rogato will host a Youth Pastor Breakout Session!

Abi Butt | God’s Message to My Generation
God has a unique message to bring in your generation. And YOU are part of it. You are called to be the generation that carries the fire of God to a world in need.
Pablo Schmitzhaus | Connecting with God: Being Devoted Even When I Can’t ‘Feel’ Him
We often chase feelings in worship, prayer, and church—but what happens when we don’t feel God? Does that mean He’s not there? How do we stay committed even in the silence?
Desiree Rubadiri | How to Read the Bible & Put It Into Practice
We know we should read the Bible, but let’s be real—it can feel confusing, overwhelming, or even boring at times. How do we move from just reading the Bible to actually living it?
Kayla Leck | Overcoming Comparison & Insecurities
We live in a world where we’re constantly told we’re not enough—not pretty enough, not successful enough, not spiritual enough. But what if the way we see ourselves isn’t the way God sees us?
Youth Leaders Session | Kaydence & Daniel Jegathiswaran
Our Youth Pastors, Kaydence & Daniel Jegathiswaran will host a Youth Leader Breakout Session!
