We Can't Stay Here: The DNA
August 9, 2015 • Forrest Jenan
Neighborhood Church has had some amazing success in it’s 67 years of ministry, but we can’t stay here. There are people and a world that need restoration but it is all too easy to think of church as just another thing Over the next few weeks, we’ll paint the picture of our future as a church and unpack the five core values that will get us there.
We Can't Stay Here: Authenticity
August 16, 2015 • Forrest Jenan
We define authenticity as living in such a way that people see the real you. At Neighborhood Church, we believe it's Jesus that makes for a better and more real you. A better and more real you makes for a better world as you impact and love those in your sphere of influence.
We Can't Stay Here: Restoration
August 30, 2015 • Forrest Jenan & Stephanie Bartsch
The world is not the way it should be. We all know this. We can get lost in asking Why? but the authors of Scripture portray a God who is actively moving to make things whole and right. God is on a mission of restoration. And his church should be as well.
We Can't Stay Here: Grace
September 6, 2015 • Forrest Jenan
Grace is God’s best idea. God’s magnum opus — his great work. As we celebrate the life of our pastor and friend, Steve Harms, we talk about the value that was Steve's favorite. Steve knew and believed that the church is most appealing when the message of grace is most apparent.
We Can't Stay Here: Transformation

We believe Jesus to be humanity perfected; the full expression of God’s love and compassion. He is our “how to” when it comes to life. When we submit to him, our lives change radically. This message is a look at just what this process of radical change is, what it means, and how we do it here at Neighborhood Church. We are a place that inspires people, teaches people, and equips people to live like Jesus.
