Our Foundation: God’s Design for Relationships

This post is part one of a three-part blog series expanding on themes from our current sermon series on relationships. Each post includes a video interview conducted by our Women’s Ministry Director, Laura Dougherty with our Pastor, Chris Peters.

Before we talk about the “how” of relationships, we begin with the “why.”

These three short videos explore why our relationships matter so deeply, how they reflect God’s nature, and why placing God first changes everything.


Pastor Chris shares his hopes and prayers for this series, highlighting the beauty and challenge of relationships and God’s desire to be glorified through them. Many in our church are walking through painful or complex relational situations. This series is meant to be a help, a comfort, and a challenge for all of us.


The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit live in perfect relationship with one another. Pastor Chris invites us to see that divine community as the starting point for understanding how we’re meant to relate to others with humility, love, and unity.


For most of us, our human relationships come first. But Pastor Chris explores why and how our relationship with God needs to be primary—the foundation for how we love, forgive, and grow with others.
