What to Expect

1. Sundays are for making much of Jesus.

Through teaching, music, and celebration, we keep the focus on Jesus. Our gatherings aim to inspire, not entertain, pointing everyone to God's greatness and love. We want people to leave thinking, "Oh, what a Savior!"—not, "Oh, what a service!"

2. Sundays should be intelligible to everyone.

Every Sunday, we aim to edify our people while remaining accessible to visitors, especially those far from God. We communicate clearly for all ages, with age-appropriate teaching available for young kids during the message.

3. Sundays are essential but not sufficient.

Sundays are essential for our church, but they aren't conducive to everything a Christian needs. Missional Communities are our primary organizing structure to make disciples in all of life. Sundays are essential but must be in concert with our MCs and our DNA Groups.

4. Sundays are intentionally simple.

We keep it simple—gathering, singing, hearing God's word, taking the Lord's Supper, and praying together, just as Christians have for centuries. This simplicity allows us to prioritize mission and generosity, focusing our resources on everyday life rather than just Sundays.

1.Partnering with families to help our kids follow Jesus in everyday life.

The aim of our ministry to children and families is to help parents raise their children to become mature followers of Jesus. We do this through our missional communities and our Sunday Gatherings. We believe children who are trusting Christ can play important roles within our covenant family. We don't believe they are "in the way," but rather, we want to come alongside children and parents to raise up an army of disciple-makers. One example of how we're doing this is by training older and eager children to teach lessons with adult supervision.

2.Sunday Gatherings and Children

While we believe it is the primary responsibility of parents to raise their kids in the Lord, we believe Sundays can be helpful support. Children are always welcome in our corporate worship gatherings. We love it when parents include their children in the worship gathering, and our gladness doesn't diminish when children are fussy or tired. We do not want parents to feel embarrassment or shame because children are acting like children. Parents are free to bring their children to the full worship gathering or to utilize children-specific teaching outside the service with volunteers until they feel their children are ready. We have general suggestions but every child is unique and we trust parents to decide on what is best for their family.

During the preaching and Lord’s Supper, we provide age-specific teaching for children ages 1-10, with plans to expand into nursery and elementary groups. Before Scripture reading, children can join their teachers for a time of fellowship and learning. Along with building relationships, we use this time to teach the whole counsel of God through a God-centered curriculum, making the Christian faith engaging, clear, and age-appropriate.
