FIRST time here?
OR SECOND, OR THIRD, OR TENTH...
Hang around. The weekend service is only a part of what goes on around here. It’s fine to keep hanging out in the rafters, but when you’re ready for some company, come on down. We’ve got a ton of ways for you to get connected—community groups, serving projects, big and small events. Stop by the Info Center and ask for the latest. We'd love to meet you.
WE WANT OUR LIVES AND OUR CITY TO LOOK LIKE HEAVEN ON EARTH—FOR BEAUTY AND LIFE AND JOY TO OVERTAKE THIS TOWN. JESUS CALLS THIS HOLY OVERTHROW THE KINGDOM OF GOD. AND WHEN WE LOOK FOR IT, WE’LL FIND IT. (HINT: IT STARTS WITHIN.) A citywide journey focuses everyone—from kids to old folks— on one topic for six weeks. This year’s journey consists of three main parts:
1 GO TO THE WEEKEND. Be provoked by art and creativity, and taught foundational truths for each week’s Kingdom topic.
2 GO TO YOUR SMALL GROUP. The casual environment where you’ll
talk about your journey experience, get challenged and build into others.
3 DO YOUR EXPERIMENT. Every week you’ll have an experiment to apply the journey to your daily life.
