We'll be meeting on Friday, October 11th, at 9 AM
Located at First Watch on 1101 Environ Way.
No agenda, no long speeches—just a chance to hang out, share some laughs, and enjoy some good company. We'd love to see you there!
Come Help Build homes of love with us
Jesus said that when we feed, clothe, and shelter others in need, we are loving Him as well. Our heart as a church is to do just that: to love God and to love people.
One of the wonderful ways we get to live out this mission is by partnering with our friends at Habitat for Humanity. On Saturday, November 22nd, we will meet at the Weavers Grove community to help build a home for one of our neighbors in need.
We have two shifts available, and you are welcome to sign up for one or both!
Please note that you will need to register with Habitat to participate.
Registration is required by November 20th.
What to Expect: Be ready for a day of hard, joyful work that may include squatting, bending, and climbing.
What to Wear: Closed-toe shoes are required. We highly suggest wearing long pants and clothes you are okay with getting dirty.
All participants must be 18+

Origin stories: Isaac the first fruits
by: Pastor joel philbrook
From the beginning point of the cosmos to the roots of your family tree, we all have origin stories. Going back to the start, exploring those origin stories of our world, humanity, and our place in it all, can open up the path to deeper meaning and purpose. The Origin of The Cosmos, The World and Humanity are described in most religions and cultures, as well as ancient mythology, however The Biblical narrative uniquely reveals a design where we are invited into a collaborative venture of Holy Love between the Creator and the created. This is a place of freedom, in the presence of God, to trace from the roots of the family tree forward to Jesus and who we are called to be today.
