This message is a passionate and inviting call to action for the church to return to and embrace its core mission: helping people know and follow Jesus…
Values and Vision
Values and Vision is a teaching series that walks our church family back to the foundations of who we are and where we’re going. Across these messages, we explore the core values that shape Sonrise Church—things like gathering in community, worship, generosity, confession, prayer, and people reaching people—and how they all serve one clear mission: helping people know and follow Jesus. Rather than starting with big goals or plans, this series presses into the kind of church we’re becoming from the inside out, and how our shared values create a culture where life change is possible.
If you’re wondering what Sonrise is all about, looking for clarity in a season of change, or wanting to align your life more fully with God’s purposes, these messages are a great place to begin. Each sermon is practical and rooted in Scripture, inviting you to live out your faith with courage, unity, and intentionality in everyday life. As you watch, you’ll be encouraged not just to understand our values and vision, but to embrace them personally—joining what God is doing in and through this church.
