Alejandro’s Story: Where Every Child Can Thrive in Christ
Alejandro’s parents have seen God’s faithfulness in powerful ways despite the challenges of raising a child with special needs. At Resonate, Alejandro has found more than a church, he's found a community that loves him, welcomes him, and provides him with an environment for worship. This summer at RESkids Camp, he raised his hand to accept Christ, and was baptized recently during baptism weekend!

Michelle & Maka: A Marriage Redeemed
Michelle and Maka felt their marriage slipping away under the weight of distance, addiction, and unspoken hurt. On Easter weekend at Resonate, the Lord spoke directly to their hearts through Pastor Ryan's message, and their decision to be baptized together marked the start of a renewed, Christ-centered marriage. Their story is a powerful reminder that nothing is too far gone for God to restore.
STARTING OUR NEW SERMON SERIES
Nov 30th - Dec 24th
“Glory to God in the Lowest” invites us to marvel at the mystery of a King whose majesty fills the heavens yet chose to descend into our world in the most humble way. The glory that commands angels and lights up eternity was wrapped in weakness and laid in a manger. In this series, we’ll wrestle with the beauty of God’s divinity meeting humanity—His power expressed through humility, His greatness through servanthood. It’s the story of heaven bending low, revealing that true glory is found not in crowns, but in compassion.
