A MERRY CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FROM KRIS AND KATHY VALLOTTON

Christmas is a beautiful time of year and has always been a special day for Kathy and me even in the most challenging times. Not every Christmas has been filled with sweet sentiments and splendid situations, but rather many holiday seasons have accompanied heavy hearts and dire difficulties. However, no matter the circumstances that were in front of us, the reality of the coming of Christ never has lost its power and significance in our lives or stolen our reason to celebrate. The Gospel is grander than the holiday season, more real than any Christmas custom, and more certain than our current cultural condition. The humble entrance of the Savior of the world altered the course of history with an eternal seal of redemption and reconciliation. It’s not just a nice story, that we tell with cookies in our bellies and hot cocoa in our hands. But, rather the crescendo of His coming is the antecedent to the impossible made possible. In the arrival of our Savior, the sick are healed, and the lonely are found in family, the dead experience resurrection life. 


He came for so much more than Christmas trees and presents wrapped in red bows. Now, let me be clear, I am not saying that there is anything wrong with the holiday cheer and Christmas tradition, it is a beautiful part of the celebration that accompanies this time of year and the Vallotton family sure loves a Christmas celebration. That is why Kathy and I wanted to “welcome you into our home” in a sense, to celebrate the significance of the season. So, it’s in great fun and celebration that we created this short video to share with you to wish you a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

It's Halftime

By Kris Vallotton • January 3, 2024
Have you ever found yourself in the midst of life's chaos, desperately needing a break, clarity, and a spiritual reset? Picture it like halftime – that pivotal moment when the coach steps in, recalibrates the team, and sparks a turnaround. The game isn't over; this is a chance to come back stronger and claim victory! In recent weeks, a resounding message has been echoing in my heart and mind: January is the Church's halftime! Our divine Coach is calling us to the huddle, to draw close, and let Him fine-tune our game plan – our values, thoughts, and behaviors. Amid the noise, He's inviting us to step away, knowing that leaning into these divine moments will catapult us into the second half, ready for victory. And in this game, we already know the final score – He wins!

Unlocking the Destiny of Gen Z and Gen Alpha

By Kris Vallotton • December 21, 2023
Gen Z, labeled as the seemingly lost generation to Christianity, and Gen Alpha, the digital natives immersed in screens, stand at the crossroads of an era defined by the rapid evolution of technology. As they navigate the evolving landscape of identity, both personal and global, a crucial question reverberates: "Has the Church lost this next generation?"

The Sacred Work of Science

By Kris Vallotton • December 13, 2023
Have you ever grappled with the intersection of an unwavering belief in a supernatural God who releases healing from heaven and the pragmatic world of science and medicine?

It's a tension many face—the delicate dance of faith in God's miraculous power juxtaposed with the gift of modern medicine. What if there is no tension at all and there is actually a beautiful integration of faith and science?
