Where We Meet
What to Expect
What it's likeYou'll enjoy lively modern music relevant to our culture, as well as creative videos, dramas, and other arts, all with the purpose of connecting you in a very real way to the heart of God. You'll also hear practical Biblical messages that you will find applicable to everyday life. So plan on coming and just slipping into a seat, and know you won't be asked to do anything other than have an open mind!
What to wear
Come as you are. We believe God cares more about the state of our hearts rather than our externals. We're all about being authentic and real with each other in order to sincerely pursue God. So dress casually and join us in comfort!
What to do with the kids
Kids have a blast in Kids' City each week! When you come in the front doors, you'll see signs directing you to the registration tables. We want you to relax in the adult service knowing that your children are safe and having fun as they are creatively and lovingly taught about God's truths and how they relate to friendships, parents, classmates, and character.
